| Welcome to your Friday edition of The Exercise Doc! | Welcome to another end-of-the-week edition of the Exercise Doc newsletter—your weekly reminder that your health matters, your habits matter, and yes… your heart is absolutely keeping score. | I also hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday—filled with good food, good company, and only minor family debates. And if you went back for seconds (or thirds), don't worry… your secret is safe with me. | This week we're tackling two big topics I see every day in the clinic:
1) Is your heart older than you? (Don't worry—if your heart is acting like a grumpy retiree while the rest of you is still trying to work full-time, I'll show you how to bring those ages closer together.)
2) The connection between good sleep and strong immunity. Spoiler: those nights when you're up scrolling aren't just bad for your sanity—they may be bad for your cold-fighting superpowers too. | And as always, I've rounded up the Top Health Headlines of the Week so you can stay informed without falling down any internet rabbit holes. I've already done the falling for you. | Thanks for being here, learning, laughing, and taking steps—big or small—toward better health. I'm grateful to share this journey with you. | Now grab a cup of coffee or tea, pull up a comfy chair, and let's dive in. | | Doc Mike |

| The daily health habit you'll actually stick with… | | This time of year, it's SO hard to stay in control of your health. | Holiday travel (and meals!), big family gatherings, dark and cold days, it's easy to skip that workout, sleep in later than you should, or have just one more cookie. | That's why you need a daily health habit that's easy to stick with. | Meet AG1: With just one quick scoop every morning, you'll get over 75 ingredients that help support your immune health, gut health, energy, and close nutrient gaps in your diet. | Right now is the best time to get started - with every new subscription, they are giving away $126 in free gifts for the holidays. | Give AG1 a try today and take control of your health this holiday season. | Give AG1 a try today | Heart Age vs Real Age: Why Your Heart May Be Older Than You | Most people know their birthday.

| | | | Why Sleeping Better Helps You Fight Illness | Most people know sleep helps you feel rested, think clearly, and avoid walking around like a zombie. But many don't realize sleep is also one of the strongest ways to protect your body from getting sick. In fact, it may matter just as much—or even more—than how well you eat, how much you exercise, or how good you are at managing stress. |
