Are you worried your kid isn't moving enough?
You're not wrong to be.

According to the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, high school sports participation has dropped 6.5 percentage points since 2011.

Kids who don't learn to move well early on are far more likely to get hurt when they finally try as adults—and that's when most people quit.

Andy Galpin says this is the conversation we should be having.

The 2026 program is being built right now—carefully, intentionally, obsessively.

In the meantime, the 2025 stage left behind a lot worth sitting with like this conversation between and .

The stage is quiet for now. But here are some insights from the talks and conversations worth returning to.

More coffee might add years to your life. You read that right: years.

But most people treat coffee like a habit they should probably quit.

The research has been moving in a very different direction for over a decade.

Chip Conley is on a midlife mission.

After disrupting the hospitality industry twice, first as the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, the second-largest operator of boutique hotels in the U.S., and then as Airbnb’s Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, leading a worldwide revolution in travel, Conley co-founded MEA (Modern Elder Academy) in January 2018 in Baja California, Mexico.

Inspired by his experience of intergenerational mentoring as a ‘modern elder’ at Airbnb, where his guidance was instrumental to the company’s extraordinary transformation from fast-growing start-up to the world’s most valuable hospitality brand, MEA is the world’s first ‘midlife wisdom school’.

The academy opened a campus in 2024 on a 2,600-acre regenerative horse ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Dedicated to reframing the concept of aging, MEA supports students in navigating midlife with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

The FDA just greenlit the first U.S. clinical trial of noribogaine—this week.

The researcher behind that trial is Dr. Deborah C. Mash—Professor of Neurology (Emeritus) and Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Her work has received decades of NIH funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She is a pioneer in ibogaine research and discovered its metabolite noribogaine. She leads DemeRx, the company now advancing noribogaine through clinical development.

Dr. Mash was on our stage in 2025. The FDA announcement came this week. That's not a coincidence—that's how thoughtfully we choose our speakers.

Want the full conversation? Watch "Ibogaine: The Possibilities + Risks for Brain Health”—recorded at Eudēmonia with Austin Perlmutter, MD.

Ibogaine and its active metabolite noribogaine are different from other psychedelics in terms of mechanism of action, side effect profile and potential use cases. This information is for educational purposes only and we are not endorsing the use of this drug.

The scientific name for the cacao tree is Theobroma cacao. Theobroma translates from Greek as "food of the gods.”

Turns out chocolate has been healthy for thousands of years. We just ruined it.

Most of what we call chocolate today is something else entirely. "Chocolate" in the modern world has been stripped of those compounds and loaded with sugar, fat, and additives. What started as one of nature's most powerful superfoods got turned into candy. And candy is not healthy (sorry).

The full history, the latest research, and how to actually eat it—this week's newsletter has it all.

Dr. Nick Norwitz will be joining us at Eudēmonia Summit, November 5–8, in West Palm Beach.

He graduated valedictorian from Dartmouth, majoring in cell biology and biochemistry. He earned his PhD in Human Metabolism from Oxford, then his MD from Harvard Medical School.

During his training, he went through a personal health struggle that changed the direction of everything. He turned that experience into some of the most rigorous metabolic health education available today. Millions read his work. Not because it's academic, but because it's clear.

We didn't want to make you wait until November.

This week's newsletter is his—answering your most pressing questions about electrolytes. Hit the link to read the full Q&A: https://na2.hubs.ly/H04XMQ_0
