 Together with Issue #68 I July 14th, 2025  Mohamed Ibrahim   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. This week, we’re exploring a vital but often overlooked pillar of longevity: your financial vitality, or wealthspan, which is how your money supports and sustains your life over time. Just like diet and exercise, your financial health profoundly impacts your resilience, stress levels, and ability to thrive in midlife and beyond. We break down simple, science-backed steps to build your financial muscle, align your spending with your values, and plan for a joyful, secure future.  75% of David's calories come from protein, which is ~50% higher than any other bar.

Fitness trackers are packed with data points, but one of the most talked-about, and arguably most misunderstood, is heart rate variability, or HRV. Touted as a key measure of your body’s stress, recovery, and overall health, your HRV, a measure of the space between your heartbeats, is also one of the metrics people use to calculate their “readiness scores,” revealing how well you can tackle your day and your workouts. Yet, despite its popularity, the way most wearables measure and interpret HRV can be misleading, sometimes wildly so. Before you panic over a “bad” reading, it’s important to understand why your tracker’s HRV stat might not be telling you the whole truth, and how you can get a clearer, more reliable picture of your body’s readiness. Fitness journalist Greg Presto interviewed experts and unpacks what HRV is, why it matters, and how you can measure yours in just a few minutes each morning.   When thinking of the pillars of health and wellness, our finances are often overlooked. But your wealthspan ensures you thrive, not just survive. Our relationship to our finances plays a major role in supporting all aspects of our health. Our money isn’t just for getting by or arriving at a destination like retirement. Instead, it’s a tool that supports our growth, independence, resilience, and ability to function. Research shows that three areas predict long-term satisfaction through retirement: health and relationships and money. While everyone feels money stress at some point, we can take steps to manage it. To help improve your mind-body-money connection, you can cultivate an optimistic mindset. Easier said than done. This week, finance journalist Melanie Lockert reveals how to optimize our finances to set yourself up for a healthy wealthspan.   Your verbal fluency, or your ability to think fast and talk faster, is a predictor of how long you’ll live, according to new research from the Berlin Aging Study. Compared to other mental sharpness metrics, like memory recall and visual pattern speed, verbal skills emerged as the strongest. Scientists believe that staying verbally agile signals broader resilience: mentally, emotionally, and physically. Basically, if your words are firing, your whole system might be firing, too. This isn’t about being a walking thesaurus, it’s about keeping your mind nimble. Think of verbal fluency as part of the brain-body longevity package.   The secret to long-lasting happiness isn’t about chasing the next big thrill or even having the most money. It’s about immersing yourself in small, meaningful moments, especially with other people. A recent study found that people experience the most sustained positive emotions not through distraction or entertainment, but through deep engagement in purposeful activities. The magic number? Six immersive experiences a day. Not six marathons or six breakthroughs, just six moments where you’re truly present, activated, and connected to something that matters. Snack Like You Mean It This Summer’s Secret to Staying Fueled, Focused, and Fit Frequent flyers, road trippers, and protein junkies, meet your new non-negotiable. David bars aren’t your average protein snack. Crafted with 28g of high-quality, complete protein, just 150 calories, and 0g of sugar, they're made to go wherever you do. Toss one in your carry-on or glove box and skip the overpriced airport snacks and roadside regrets. With macros that actually work, David supports muscle retention, energy stability, and brain clarity, even at 30,000 feet. Don’t just snack. Power your next adventure.

Balance thrill with tranquility through surf lessons, desert hikes, and farm-to-table cooking classes.
