Hi There Fitlifer,

It’s spring—and I’ve been out in nature every chance I get with my wife and daughter. 🌼 Barefoot mornings, tree-shadowed walks, deep breaths of fresh air. There’s just something about this season that invites reset and renewal.

That’s exactly the vibe of this week’s newsletter. We’re breaking down the daily habits that quietly shape your energy, clarity, and longevity—from how you drink to how you sleep (and even that joint pop you’re worried about).

Oh—and speaking of renewal? I’m beyond excited to announce our newest launch: Colostrum. This powerful whole-body immune and gut support supplement is unlike anything we’ve offered before. More on that soon… but just know, it’s a game-changer.

Let’s get into it:

🍷 How to Drink Responsibly

It’s been the social glue for centuries… but recently, it’s also gotten a serious side-eye from science. And for good reason. The U.S. Surgeon General suggested adding cancer warning labels to alcoholic drinks. That’s no small thing.

Here’s the truth: Ethanol is a biologically toxic compound. That’s the stuff in your wine, beer, and cocktails. Even small amounts can affect your liver, your hormones, your sleep… and yep, your longevity. So if you’re looking to drink less, here’s your game plan:

🧠 Drink When It Matters, Not Just Because

Skip the solo glass of wine after a long day “just because.” Instead, reserve drinking for connection-rich moments—birthdays, dinners with close friends, celebrations that matter. When you make it intentional, you naturally drink less and enjoy it more.

😴 Don’t Drink Right Before Bed

Even one drink close to bedtime can mess with REM sleep and tank your recovery. You might fall asleep faster, but you’ll wake up feeling like you barely slept. Give yourself 2–3 hours between your last sip and your pillow—your brain and body will thank you.

💪 Build a Stronger Baseline

The healthier you are, the better your body can handle the occasional cocktail. That means supporting your liver, staying hydrated, eating real food, and moving your body. The more resilient your system, the less impact that drink will have. Want to make your liver reset easy? We got you covered at Organifi!

🤯 Fun Fact:
Ever wonder why alcohol lowers your inhibitions? It actually suppresses activity in the prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for decision-making and self-control. That’s why one drink can feel like two—and why mindful drinking matters more than ever.

So no, alcohol doesn’t have to be the villain. But it also doesn’t deserve a free pass. Be intentional. Be informed. And as always—listen to your body.🥂

🍾Worried your joint pops mean arthritis?

You stretch. You twist. Your knuckles pop. Your back cracks. And someone nearby inevitably says, “You’re gonna get arthritis doing that!”

But is that actually true… or just another old myth passed down like Grandma’s “don’t go outside with wet hair” rule?

Here’s what’s really going on:

That pop sound? It’s not bones grinding or tendons snapping. It’s just gas—specifically, nitrogen bubbles in the joint fluid that collapse when you stretch or shift. Kinda like a champagne bottle for your joints. 🍾🦴

The science says:

✅ No, cracking your knuckles doesn’t cause arthritis.
✅ Some joint popping can even release tension and improve range of motion.
🚫 But repetitive, aggressive cracking without control (especially in the neck) can lead to joint instability over time.

Your body’s gonna make some noise. Don’t freak out about every crack—but do stay tuned in. If something feels off, it probably is. But if it feels good and you’re not forcing it, go ahead and snap away.

🦴3 reasons you should be taking Colostrum Daily

It’s finally here—our most advanced gut + immune support formula yet.

Organifi Colostrum just dropped, and this isn’t your average probiotic. Packed with immune-powering immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA), it helps defend your body across all major entry points—mouth, lungs, gut, and more.

Even better? It survives stomach acid and goes straight to work repairing the gut lining, restoring tight junction integrity, and calming inflammation from the inside out. 💥

Colostrum also supports collagen production, skin renewal, and even hair follicle health—yes, really.

Resilience, restored. Glow, reactivated. Let’s just say this one was worth the wait. 🙌

💤Sleep Deprivation Leads To Bad Thoughts in Your Mind. We now think that a lack of sleep could be one of the reasons for PTSD, because in the REM cycle of your sleep your brain is able to pull emotions from memories helping you cope with past trauma.

🌿Ashwagandha For Better Moods and Less Fatigue. In this randomized controlled trial in adults with reported low energy, supplementing with 600mg of ashwagandha daily improved cognition, mood, and mental fatigue.

💉Meth Can Linger in Houses and Cars. Research by Flinders University in Australia has found methamphetamine can linger in households and cars causing harm to human health.

Your body is talking—you just need to know how to listen. Whether it's craving deeper sleep, asking for less sugar, or begging for better gut support, every small shift matters.

And if you're looking to seriously level up your resilience this spring, keep your eye on our brand-new Colostrum formula. It’s designed to help restore the gut, balance immunity, and bring your system back online—from the inside out.

Until then, keep tuning in, moving forward, and treating your body like the miracle it is.

You’ve got this. 💪
