being ambitious could be making you lazy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have been following this newsletter for a while, you’ll have noticed the last couple of months I have been distant.

It’s called hara hachi
the link between unbrushed teeth and alzheimer’s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To be honest, when I first read about this online I assumed it was one of those “everything causes dementia” clickbait articles. It’s not. The link here is pretty well mapped out with the mouse studies, the biology and population data all pointing in the same direction.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="36.485849056603776" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FWhe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressi
