The letters Rx are somehow related to drug stores. But why? What do those letters actually mean? You probably think they have to do with medication or prescriptions or something. But why Rx? What do those letters stand for. This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/06/rx-mean-come/ You are SO not the person you once were. Nor are you the person you will one day be. That’s according to Paul Bloom, professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale. Listen as he discusses what are most likely the happiest years of your life, why you are different from everyone else on the planet and other fascinating intel into how your mind makes you the person you are. Paul is author of the book Psych: The Story of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3k524d5). Your future is uncertain. And people generally don’t like uncertainty. That because the future may be full of opportunity, but it can also be full of danger and disappointment – and you don’t know which one is around the corner. However, there is another way to look at uncertainty which my guest Nathan Furr is here to reveal. Nathan is a professor and author of the book The Upside of Uncertainty (https://amzn.to/3SbJBZ6). Listen as he offers a different way to face the unknown that will minimize risk and amplify opportunity. Dio you know the difference between a road a street an avenue and a boulevard?

Today on Something You Should Know, what do the letters RX stand for when it comes to medicine? Then, how the human mind makes you who you are and how it constantly changes as you get older.
What you find is as people age, their personalities on average get a little bit better. They become less belligerent, more understanding, more agreeable. They're more conscientious. You can trust them more. We seem to kind of mellow out maybe once we pass 30 or 40.
Also, the difference between a road, a street, and an avenue. And how to make the best of uncertainty, because many of us fear what uncertainty may bring.
When you spend your whole life running away from uncertainty, you also spend your life running away from possibility. You know, sometimes you take a risk and it doesn't work out. But on average, if you're taking thoughtful risks, it leads to such a more interesting, exciting life.
All this today on Something You Should Know. Recently, I was asked to try a supplement called Mitopur and then talk about it here. And I said, well, let me check it out. So Mitopur is a precise dose of urolithin A. That's a metabolic compound that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. And it's also found in small amounts in certain fruits and nuts.
Now, as I've talked about many times here, I work at staying fit and healthy. It's important to me. And when I researched some studies online and found urolithin A, which is what MitoPure is, is shown to deliver double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance, and I saw that it was safe to take, I started taking it. And I've been taking it a while now, and I see a change.
I have noticed improved muscle strength and endurance. MitoPure works by promoting an essential cellular cleanup process. It clears out dysfunctional mitochondria. And it's the only urolithin-A supplement on the market clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline.
So, look, I invite you to join me and awaken the strength, power, and resilience already in you with the first and only supplement clinically proven to rejuvenate health at the cellular level. And I'd love to hear about your results. Timeline, that's the company behind MitoPure. Timeline is offering 10% off your order of MitoPure. Go to Timeline.com slash something. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E.
