Issue #44   I  April 21st, 2025 Photography by Shawn Chavez           Welcome back to The Mindset by Super Age. You’re here because you want to live longer, stronger, and more awake. That’s why we made The Mindset—so once a week, you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with what actually matters: your health, your attention, your well-being. In this issue, we're exploring five tiny microhabits that can rewire your brain for better focus and emotional resilience. A look at what science says about superaging. And a new kind of reset: not a productivity hack, but a two-minute awe practice that restores your connection to the natural beauty all around us. Let’s get into it.       What Does It Really Mean to Be a Super Ager? Super agers are models of what’s possible. Scientists define “super agers” as people in their 70s, 80s, and beyond who perform cognitively like someone decades younger. And while genetics play a role, most super agers also move differently, connect differently, and think differently. In this feature, we unpack the science of super aging and the steps you can take to keep your brain young, your memory sharp, and your emotional resilience strong. 👉 Read the full breakdown on super agers and how to become one →     The Healthiest Plant Milk (Might Surprise You) Not all plant milks are created equal—especially when it comes to blood sugar impact, nutrient density, and toxin exposure. Our breakdown of almond, oat, soy, hemp, coconut, and rice milk compares not only calories and macros but also glycemic load, essential nutrient content, and heavy metal content. Plus, we’ll help you decide whether to buy organic or make your own—and reveal which milk we think is the healthiest. 👉 See which plant milk we recommend →     The 5 Microhabits That Rewire Your Brain for Longevity New neuroscience shows that small, consistent actions can have a powerful cumulative effect on how our brains function. Think of these as your daily neural training sessions—no gym required. These microhabits may seem minor, but they influence the systems that govern memory, mood, executive function, and overall cognitive vitality. They help strengthen your neural plasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. And that’s key to staying sharp, steady, and curious into your 40s, 50s, and beyond. 👉 Learn the habits that help your brain age better →     How Awe Slows Time And Supports Well-Being Awe isn’t just a fleeting emotion—it’s a biological recalibration tool. You don’t need a mountaintop or a perfect sunrise. According to awe research (yes, that's a thing), just a few minutes of awe practice per day has been linked to reduced inflammation, lower anxiety, and a reset of your internal clock. In this post, founding editor Heather Hurlock explores what it means to find awe not in grand gestures, but in quiet imperfections. Plus, she shares a short practice to help you cultivate everyday awe. 👉 Here's why awe is related to imperfection. Plus, a 2-minute awe reset →       This Quiz Can Predict How Long You'll Live Ready to take control of your health? About 80% of longevity comes down to daily choices.

There are places you visit, and then there are places that shift something inside of you. The Carillon Hotel in Miami Beach is the latter. I arrived needing a reset and spent a few days riding all the "wellness rides"—a curated circuit of cutting-edge high-tech therapies. One standout? A Tesla coil-like machine that shoots out an electrical field as you sit nearby, designed to stimulate cellular repair and energy balance. Think luxury Disney World for the biohacking curious—beach walks, sound therapy, and integrative wellness that doesn’t overwhelm. If you’re craving a nervous system reset and a little sun-kissed elegance, this is your spot. 👉 Take a closer look at my time at the Carillon     Photography by Shawn Chavez Recipe of the Week Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Olive Oil.

Heine, PsyD. In this illuminating book, psychologist Steven Heine explores one of the biggest questions we all face: how to live meaningfully in a world that often doesn’t make sense. Drawing from the field of existential psychology, Heine blends scientific research with insights from philosophers like Camus and de Beauvoir to explain how we construct meaning—and how that instinct is wired into our biology. Surprisingly, there's only one review on Amazon, but this is the kind of overlooked gem that offers deep resonance for Super Agers navigating both internal and cultural complexity. 👉 Get the book       Thank you for reading this issue of The Mindset!
