3 Keys to the Female Orgasm Unlocked
Welcome back to The Mindset by Super Age.
Let’s take a moment to consider something powerful: we are alive. We can feel, think, move, and connect. There will come a time—an eternity, in fact—when none of this will be true. But right now, it is. Life is astonishing. Full stop.
We’ve made it this far, and there’s a very good chance we’ll be here tomorrow. Let’s pause to appreciate the bodies that have carried us through thick and thin. They may have taken a beating, but we’re still going strong. Feel the miracle of your heart beating, blood flowing, breath filling your lungs. Notice the colors hitting your eyes, the sounds in the background, the floor pushing against your feet.
I speak with the brightest minds in medicine, and none will admit we fully understand the totality of the human body. We know bits and guess at much more, but the way it all works together is truly incomprehensible. We are mind-bendingly complex.
So today, as imperfect as we may feel we at times are, let’s marvel at the miracle of simply being alive. Life can be a challenge, but it is also pretty great.
Onwards and upward!

Exercise Protects Your Brain for 24 Hours
Kickstart your day and sharpen your mind! According to a new study from Dartmouth College, just 15 minutes of moderate exercise can enhance your memory for up to 24 hours. Researchers found that physical activity increases communication between the hippocampus (your brain’s memory hub) and cortical regions (responsible for higher-level functions like thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving), leading to improved memory recall and better problem-solving skills. This brain boost is attributed to enhanced plasticity—your brain’s ability to adapt and stay sharp.
Here’s the kicker: this cognitive benefit is strongest when exercise happens in the morning. Activities like a brisk walk, bodyweight squats, or a light yoga session can set the tone for the day. Prioritize a morning workout to supercharge your brain for the day ahead. Think of it as your daily dose of brain fuel, no caffeine required!
Eat Well
The Secret to a Stronger Immune System
Turns out your gut health is the secret to skipping the flu this winter. A study published in Cell by researchers at Stanford University shows that diets that feed your gut microbiome can transform your immune health. The study split participants into two diets—one high in fiber, the other with six servings of fermented foods daily. After 10 weeks, those who ate fermented foods saw a decrease in 19 different markers of inflammation, less active immune cells (a good thing), and overall improved gut diversity. Start by adding a few fermented foods to your daily meals like yogurt, kefir, fermented cottage cheese, kombucha, or fermented vegetables, such as kimchi. Your gut isn’t just the key to digestion—it’s the control center for better health and vitality.
Did You Know?
Your Mindset Can Affect Lower Back Pain
Your beliefs about your back pain can shape your physical health. A 10-year study published in Rheumatology found that men with negative perceptions about low back pain were significantly more likely to develop high-intensity pain and disability over time. These beliefs include thinking movement will worsen pain, feeling helpless to manage it, or catastrophizing that back pain will lead to severe disability. Chronic low back pain impacts about 85% of people eventually and is the top cause of global disability, with significant societal and economic costs.
This research underscores how deeply mindset influences physical health. Your takeaway? A strong back begins with a strong mindset. Combine intentional physical care with a positive perspective. Reframe how you view your body’s resilience through knowledge and mental training to safeguard your mobility for the long haul.

3 Keys to the Female Orgasm Unlocked
Alright, here’s the deal. The secret to more frequent and satisfying orgasms? Interoception. Yep, that fancy term for your mind-body connection. A new study in Brain Sciences found that women who are more attuned to their body’s internal sensations—think heartbeat, breath, even tension—report more frequent and more satisfying orgasms. The researchers point to these three keys to unlocking your, uh, inner symphony:
- Noticing your body’s sensations (like your heartbeat) was linked to more frequent orgasms during both solo and partnered play.
- Attention regulation predicted more frequent and satisfying solo orgasms.
- Body trust, or experiencing your body as safe and trustworthy, was tied to higher satisfaction during both solo and partnered moments.
So basically, yoga class and mindfulness practice aren’t just about inner peace—they’re also about inner bliss. Ladies, this is your reminder to lean in, breathe deep, and start noticing the magic within.
