I sleep 7ish hours per night. We co sleep with our babies (best parent hack ever - people who say it’s dangerous…just 😂)
I go down with them around 8pm and wake up 4:15am (I train at 5am)
Yes that is super early. No it’s probably not ideal but what it allows me to do is take care of my business without pulling time away from my family, which is more important, so I suck it up and get it done.
Also - no great man in history wasn’t sleep-deprived…that’s what coffee is for.
Yes I drink coffee - two cups per day. Organic, mold free, double espresso shots pulled through my home Breville barista machine.\xa0
Sometimes I take my second iced with raw milk and maple syrup - try it and thank me later ❤️
I do red light daily - I am convinced it’s an absolute miracle. I use it all over my body for many effects - anti aging, inflammation, collagen increase, increase testosterone when you shine it on your balls (check outthis episodeof the pod if you’re not yet convinced about red light therapy)
I pretty much only listen to podcasts or audiobooks. My commute to the gym each day is almost 1 hour (round trip) so I habit stack drives with learning.
This is also where I do podcast prep researching episodes of my upcoming guests and brainstorming ideas and questions for them.
I have a standing desk - no that’s not inherently better because you can just stand STILL - stillness is the killer, not sitting.
So I mix it up and try to move around a lot - having a bunch of animals and kids helps this. Something is always broke, trying to kill itself or needs attending to, so I move a decent amount plodding around and getting up and down off the ground.
I am religious about my use of blue blockers because blue light toxicity and the eye is VERY BAD news. You should invest in your eye health seeing as they’re kind of paramount to living a good life.\xa0
Screens suck - I spend too long on them - I know you do too. I am trying to maximize productivity as much as humanly possible so I can spend less time on these god forsaken things. Some days are better than others.
I meditate most days - even if it’s only for 5 mins - the clarity and peace it brings me is immeasurable.\xa0
I wish I did it more to be honest but life moves quick and sometimes it slips through the cracks.\xa0
As the old saying goes - if you don’t have time to meditate for 10 minutes per day you need to meditate for an hour.
I need to follow my own advice better apparently.
I have done a pretty good job of eliminating almost all toxic clothing from my life (polyester and the like). It’s plastic, crap and leaches chemicals that WILL disrupt your endocrine system and hormones.
Polyester slings can make men infertile within 21 days of use “as a safe male contraception” - that’s messed up. Google the polyester sling study 😳
Ladies pay particular close attention - all that lululemon shit you love and plastic thongs up yer butt…not good.
Cotton, free ball or bust. I use NADS undies - they're the best.
Anyway, I think that’s enough rambling. I hope this inspires you on your own health journey. Remember, messy action is better than inaction. Just get out there and start.
Here’s to your radical health,
Ste,\xa0
