Whisper Transcript | Transcript Only Page

00:00:00.000 | It's basically four foundational pillars of health.
00:00:02.100 | What you eat, exercise, your sleep,
00:00:04.420 | and how you manage stress.
00:00:05.540 | And then I would sort of add your nutritional support
00:00:07.940 | through nutritional supplements that are foundational.
00:00:10.220 | If you get those things right, 80% of the time
00:00:12.380 | you're gonna deal with most of the stuff you have going on.
00:00:14.340 | So start with doing a fridge biopsy.
00:00:16.620 | If you pick up something and it has a label
00:00:18.460 | and you don't recognize the ingredients, throw it away.
00:00:20.100 | Start just choosing real food.
00:00:21.580 | And it doesn't have to be expensive.
00:00:22.860 | You can go to Costco, you can go to Walmart,
00:00:24.460 | you can go to the big box stores.
00:00:25.620 | Second is, you know, move your body.
00:00:26.820 | Everybody needs to take a walk for 30 minutes a day.
00:00:28.940 | Do some simple resistance training.
00:00:30.740 | It can be your body weight.
00:00:31.820 | There's tons of things on YouTube and online to learn from.
00:00:34.620 | You don't need a lot of equipment
00:00:35.820 | and it's important to stay fit.
00:00:37.340 | Next is optimize your sleep.
00:00:38.660 | And it requires you to understand what that means.
00:00:41.300 | And there's a great book by Matthew Walker
00:00:43.100 | called "Why We Sleep."
00:00:44.020 | And then of course, managing stress.
00:00:45.660 | How do you deal with that?
00:00:46.500 | And it's individual.
00:00:47.460 | Some people like to do breath work or meditation
00:00:49.980 | or guided imagery or they use sound healing
00:00:52.900 | or binaural beads.
00:00:53.940 | Everybody needs to figure out
00:00:55.100 | how to regulate their nervous system.
00:00:56.740 | and most of us never learn how to do that.
