| | April 2, 2026 | | | | | | | | | Good morning!
If I've learned anything from constantly researching health, it's that all parts of the body are connected. Read on for some helpful guidelines on managing brain and heart health as two parts of a whole.
I'm also excited to share a new segment called "Bodies are cool!" where I'll highlight some interesting and unexpected things about these incredible vessels we are lucky to call home.
Hit reply and let me know: what's a random fact about the human body you've always found fascinating? Maybe I'll share it in a future send. | | —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor | | | | | Your brain & heart should be treated as a team Medical experts in Canada have released new guidelines that treat brain and heart health as the deeply connected systems they are. There's currently no U.S. equivalent, so here's what you should know for your next doctor's appointment:¹ - Depression and heart disease go hand in hand: If you have coronary artery disease, your doctor should be screening you for depression.
- AFib affects your mind, not just your heartbeat: People with atrial fibrillation should be routinely checked for cognitive decline. The two conditions are more closely linked than most people realize—AF was associated with a 39% increased risk of cognitive impairment.
- High blood pressure can quietly erode your thinking: Managing cognitive changes should be part of treating hypertension.
- Cholesterol management matters for stroke recovery: Treating high cholesterol after a stroke is a priority, with downstream benefits for brain function.
- Vaccines offer full-body benefits: Staying current on vaccinations can help reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and dementia.
The big takeaway: if you see a cardiologist or neurologist, be sure to mention these new guidelines. Your heart and brain deserve to be part of the same conversation.

Did you know you are constantly dissolving and rebuilding your own skeleton?
Bone is actually living tissue in a constant state of renewal. Specialized cells called osteoclasts continuously break down old bone material, while another type of cell, osteoblasts, lays down fresh bone in its place. This process is called bone remodeling.
The most surprising part is the scale and speed of it: the average adult replaces roughly 10% of their total bone mass every year, meaning your entire skeleton is essentially replaced over the course of about a decade.³
This process is also super sensitive to mechanical stress. When you put load on a bone (through resistance training and jumping), it signals osteoblasts to build more bone in that exact location.
