| | September 30, 2025 |  | | | | | | | | Morning!
I've been tracking my sleep for nearly 7 years now, and it's truly been a game-changer for my health. I can spot when a cold is creeping in or when my body's primed for a tough workout—all from my nightly data. But I'll admit, it can be overwhelming at times. How much REM sleep is really normal? What does my HRV actually mean?
Today, we're breaking down how to actually interpret the numbers so you can use them to support your recovery, resilience, and long-term health.
Do you track your sleep? Hit reply and let me know—I'd love to hear! | | —Ava Durgin, assistant health editor | | | | | This common exposure could increase your risk of diabetes A new study found that exposure to PFAS (aka "forever chemicals")—the compounds hiding in everything from nonstick pans to food packaging—was linked to a 31% higher odds of type 2 diabetes.¹
While we can't avoid PFAS completely, small swaps can lower your exposure: - Use a high-quality water filter (activated carbon or reverse osmosis).
- Skip nonstick cookware—opt for stainless steel or cast iron.
- Check labels for "fluoro" ingredients in stain- or water-resistant items.
- Choose PFAS-free brands for personal care and cleaning products.
Reducing daily PFAS exposure won't just lighten your toxic load; it could also protect your long-term metabolic health.

What's less clear is how to find a quality collagen powder. What to look for: - Choose hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides): This means the collagen has been broken down into smaller peptides for easy absorption. Non-hydrolyzed collagen, like bone broth, doesn't reliably deliver amino acids.³
- Focus on Type I & III collagen: Together, they make up over 90% of the body's collagen.⁴ That means they're the most critical forms to replenish.
- No additives, fillers & third-party tested: Stick to clean, third-party tested formulas, which help limit your exposure to GMOs, hormones, heavy metals, and other questionable substances.
As a single-ingredient formula, NativePath Collagen Peptides delivers pure hydrolyzed Types I and III collagen—without hormones, GMOs, or fillers.
