 Together with Issue #64 I June 30, 2025  Photography by Javier Díez and Vradiy Art   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. Let’s talk about healthspan, the years you feel sharp, strong, and fully alive. This week, we’re exploring how small, science-backed shifts can add up to a longer, better life. We’re cutting through wearable tech hype to show you which devices actually support longevity, breaking down how certain foods may activate your skin’s youth genes, and diving into new research linking Ozempic to a significantly lower dementia risk. Plus, we explore the science behind the ancient ritual of sauna bathing. The future of healthspan is about tuning into your body with wisdom and care. Let’s dive in.

Wearables promise to extend your healthspan, but how do you know which ones actually work? With new devices launching constantly, it’s hard to tell what’s worth your time (and money) and what’s just hype. This guide cuts through the noise with research-backed picks for sleep, fitness, and metabolic health. We share a clear breakdown of what each device gets right (and wrong), and how to use them without getting data fatigue. Spoiler: even the most popular sleep trackers only hit about 60% accuracy. And calorie burn? Still a guessing game. But here’s the good news: if you know what to track, and how to use the data, you can turn your wearable into a longevity tool that actually works.   You may already know that vitamin C helps with collagen production, but what if it could actually switch your skin’s regeneration genes back on? New research says it can. A groundbreaking 2025 study reveals that vitamin C doesn’t just act as an antioxidant, it plays a key role in epigenetics, helping unlock skin cell renewal at the DNA level.   Ozempic has already been hailed as a breakthrough for weight loss and diabetes, but could it also protect your brain? A massive new study of nearly 1.7 million people says yes. Researchers found that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, is linked to a dramatically lower risk of developing dementia, especially for women and older adults. The numbers are striking: up to 46% lower risk compared to insulin. And the study didn’t come from a lab, it analyzed real-world data using advanced methods that mimic clinical trials. While research isn’t at the point where doctors are prescribing Ozempic for brain health alone, this research adds to a growing body of evidence connecting metabolic health to cognitive longevity.   Could stepping into a hot wooden box a few times a week really help you live longer? Sauna bathing, a centuries-old tradition, is getting a major modern wellness glow-up, and for good reason. From cardiovascular protection rivaling moderate exercise to potential benefits for brain health, immunity, metabolism, and even muscle mass, the science behind sauna is heating up. But how much of it is hype? And how often do you actually need to go to see results? Health reporter Kelle Walsh did a deep dive on what the latest research really says about sauna's power to boost longevity and resilience, and where the risks and limitations lie. Whether you're a seasoned sauna-goer or just sauna-curious, this is your essential guide to doing it right.
