Daily wellness tracker

Memovela for metabolic and brain health

Now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

Memovela helps people build small, repeatable habits around movement, meals, sleep, hydration, and daily check-ins.

Your daily habits don’t just shape your blood sugar — they shape your brain. In this week’s Pathways to Wellness feature, we explore the growing connection between insulin resistance and cognitive health, and introduce Memovela, our new free wellness tool designed to help you build small, sustainable habits that support insulin sensitivity, energy, and long-term brain resilience.

Is Metabolic Syndrome Changing Your Brain Before You Notice? New 2026 Evidence From Midlife

New 2026 research suggests metabolic syndrome is associated with subtle default-mode-network differences in cognitively unimpaired adults ages 40–65, with abdominal obesity and low HDL standing out. Here is what the findings mean—and what they do not.

How Fat Cells Store and Release Energy: New 2026 Research on Insulin, Leptin & Exercise

Fat cells are not passive storage bags. New 2026 studies reveal how insulin directs lipid storage, exercise signals help mobilize fuel, leptin communicates with the brain, and obesity may alter brain glucose sensing—without turning new molecular findings into unproven treatments.
