[New research] THIS is the secret to staying biologically young and active
What happened when researchers had a small group of seniors take a simple, natural supplement that boosted levels of this all-natural “youth fuel”?
They went from being sluggish and slow to literally matching 25-year-olds stride-for-stride.
They got stronger, sharper, and inflammation went down.
These “seniors” watched as their fading memories, waning strength, flagging energy and saggy middles all became more like they were 25-year-olds again.
Plus, it’s tied to long life, helps protect against Alzheimer’s, and even reduces wrinkles!
And the process of how it works is easier than you could ever imagine. Click here now to discover it for yourself.
Can Mozart help heal your chronic pain?!
by Jim Donovan, M.Ed.
Dear Derek,
If you live with chronic pain, you’re not alone. The CDC reports over 50 million people in the US suffer from this condition.
And its effects go far beyond the physical discomfort. Chronic pain can also impact your mood, thoughts, sleep, focus, and memory—as well as heighten anxiety and depression.
What’s worse is that the side effects of pain medication can pile on additional symptoms like constipation, nausea, fatigue, and brain fog. Not to mention many of them are highly addictive.
Fortunately, new research shows music can relieve chronic pain while reducing the need for prescription medication...
More music = less pain meds
Recent research points to the game-changing effect music can have on chronic pain.
For instance, a 2019 animal study conducted at the University of Utah showed that combining the music of Mozart—including his piano composition “K.448”—with pain medications (such as ibuprofen and cannabidiol) to be more effective at treating pain than medication alone.
Results showed that pairing ibuprofen with music boosted pain reduction over 90 percent. Combining music and cannabidiol lowered inflammation by 21 percent.
Even though more research needs to be done, the authors of the study theorize that these promising results are a function of music’s ability to positively affect:

In another 2019 study, researchers split a group of 30 people into one of three groups:

They found that compared with the noise and silence groups, the music listening group reported lower pain ratings.
Here are three excellent—and easy—ways to tap into music’s soothing abilities:
1. Play soft relaxing music at bedtime. Doing so can lower stress, which lowers the overall perception of pain. You can listen to one of my favorite bedtime playlists here.
2. Stimulate your vagus nerve with self-generated sound. This triggers the production of your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals like oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine.
If you or someone you love are battling chronic pain, I encourage you to at least give these ideas a try. You’ve got nothing to lose—and everything to gain.
