Did you know: healthy digestion actually starts 10–15 minutes before you eat.

A few simple foods can signal your body to start producing stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and bile so food breaks down more efficiently.

Here are five simple options:

• Apple cider vinegar
• Lemon water
• Bitter greens
• Ginger
• Papaya or pineapple

These foods help prime digestion, reduce bloating, and improve nutrient absorption.

The best part?
They only take a few minutes before a meal.

Follow Julep Health for more simple strategies that support real metabolic and gut health.

It’s your birthday week, Samantha! We are thankful for you!

She’s the friendly face you see when you walk into the doors at the clinic & speak to on the phone. She *loves* hunting, spending time with family and friends, but one of the coolest things about her is she competes in pool tournaments across the country! 🎱

Happy Birthday, Samantha! 🌺🌷

⚠️❕Habit #3 stood out the most.

Across the research, a few simple habits repeatedly appear as beneficial: getting morning sunlight soon after waking, taking a short walk after meals, eating a diverse range of plant foods throughout the week, prioritizing protein at breakfast, and keeping consistent sleep and wake times.

Small habits practiced consistently tend to outperform complicated health plans.

That being said: could YOU eat 30 different plant foods in a week? 🥬 🥦 🥕 🍌

❗️You may be eating blueberries the wrong way.

What if the healthiest blueberries in the grocery store weren’t in the produce section at all?

Frozen blueberries are often picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen, which helps preserve their nutrients. The freezing process can also break down cell walls, making anthocyanins (the powerful antioxidants in blueberries) easier for the body to absorb.

Fresh berries, meanwhile, may spend days or weeks in shipping and storage, during which some nutrients can gradually decline.

Blueberry anthocyanins have been associated with:

• Brain health and cognitive support
• Cardiovascular health and improved blood pressure markers
• Reduced oxidative stress and inflammation
• Better insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
• Gut microbiome support

Turns out, the most nutrient-dense blueberries in the store are in the freezer aisle.

Retail giant Target announced that by May 31 it will stop selling cereals made with certified synthetic food dyes. With nearly 2,000 stores across the United States, that decision forces major cereal manufacturers to reformulate if they want to stay on shelves.

For decades, brightly colored cereals have relied on petroleum derived dyes such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, ingredients that add color but no nutritional value.

A growing body of research has associated certain synthetic food dyes with behavioral changes, hyperactivity, attention challenges in children, allergic reactions, and potential neurobehavioral effects in sensitive individuals, which has led several countries to require warning labels or restrict their use in foods marketed to children.

When a retailer of this size raises its ingredient standards, the entire market shifts. Small ingredient changes across millions of households can meaningfully reduce daily chemical exposure and push the food industry toward cleaner formulations.

This is how the food landscape evolves in the United States. Consumer awareness grows, retailers adjust their standards, and manufacturers follow.

What happens in the brain during constant short-video use? A new EEG study offers a clue.

Researchers measured real-time brain activity while participants completed attention tasks.

Frequent short-video use was associated with less efficient activity in brain systems responsible for self-control and focus — particularly in networks linked to the prefrontal cortex.

This is the part of the brain that helps you:

• pause before reacting
• follow through on goals
• stay mentally disciplined
• resist “just one more”

This research suggests that repeated exposure to fast-paced digital stimulation may relate to how efficiently these cognitive control systems function.

Encouragingly, these systems are adaptable.

Keep in mind, this study relied on validated self-report measures to assess short-video use tendencies. As research in this area continues to evolve, future studies may further explore how digital habits relate to cognitive function over time using longer-term tracking and direct usage data.

**Based on peer-reviewed EEG research published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2024).

Steak ’n Shake is shaking things up in the fast-food industry.. again! 👏

They just announced they’re removing microwaves from their restaurants as part of a shift toward more traditional cooking. This comes a year after they shifted to 100% beef tallow for frying, etc. We supported them by going there for lunch the very day they made the tallow switch.

This is a *great* move toward fresher preparation (especially in larger fast-food establishments where change at scale is costly and complex) instead of meals designed to be stored and reheated. Emerging research is also showing that *how* food is heated can influence its structure, not just its temperature.

Microwave heating works by rapidly exciting water molecules inside food. That speed can change moisture distribution, alter protein folding, disrupt starch structure, and affect how fats hold together. These shifts can influence texture, taste, digestibility, and the overall integrity of a meal in ways researchers are still studying.

When big food companies switch to simpler cooking, you can bet on less pre-made food “sitting around” and more meals being cooked closer to when you actually eat them.

Is it lunchtime yet? 😉
