[00:00:00] Welcome to today's episode. I am gonna talk a little bit about my daily routine and what I've changed in the past month, how it's affected me, and how you can add these little things to your routine that will change so much for you.

Okay, so over the last month, I have taken a journey where I wanna go ahead and sit down and say I want to feel less stressed. I want to have more understanding of the world around me and just feel better about everything. If you have not met me. Here's a little like dark secret that I have. I want to control everything.
I want to be able to control outside events that I have no control over. What happens, because I want to do that is. I go into this like stress mode. And the funny thing is I don't feel overwhelmed, but my brain goes into Overprocessing where it's like, okay, I wonder if I do this, will it make it work?
And then I do it and I'm like, okay, it didn't work. Okay, what if I do this? And so I'm constantly thinking about. What can I do to change the situation so that I can make it work? 'cause I want to control it. Well, there are so [00:03:00] many things outside of my control and your control, like tariffs, the economy, stock market, all this stuff I have no control over.
I can call up somebody and say, Hey. Make the stock market go up because I wanna get more money. I have no control over any of that. Right? Nor do you, but it's very easy for me when I get into a situation to try and control it. So I said, okay, for the next 30 days, I wanna try some new things and I want to go.
Down a different path. I want to look into the biohacking realm. 'cause if you don't know already, I'm a biohacker. I include this in so much that I do. I talk about the products that I'll take in the in my YouTube. I'm gonna talk about an amazing new product that I started taking a couple months ago that has changed my gut health.
In a way I never thought it would. I was like, this water is gonna like change everything, and it did. So make sure you're up in my over in my YouTube channel as well, because I talk about some really cool stuff there. I show you all about it. [00:04:00] I tell you my health protocols, I'm gonna give you more of this because what I talk about here is that.
You cannot have a business that's built for longevity if you are not built for longevity. Crazy. I know, right? You need to be built for longevity so that your business can sustain as well, so that you can leave a legacy to your children. Okay, so I'm old about that. So what did I decide to do this past month?
Well, I said, okay, I've been doing tapping for a while and it's really helped me. I have been probably since childhood, been, if you've listened to some of my older podcasts, you kind of hear I, I talk a little fast. I take short little breaths. I'm like this. That was a. Constant fight or flight mode that I have developed to be in.
Because I'm always like this, go, go, go, go, go, go, go kind of person. And I realize probably about maybe four [00:05:00] months ago that I was stuck in fight or flight. Now I know I have been, I've been taking supplements, I've been working on a lot of it, but I couldn't get my cortisol to drop. I couldn't get my system to reset.
And I was doing a whole bunch of research, talking to so many cool experts, and I was like. What is wrong with me? And they're like, nothing. You're just stuck in flight or fight. And so I said, how do I change it? So I've been doing tapping and I absolutely love the tapping. However, the tapping can be very weird when there's people around and you just start tapping.
I top my upper lip and what I realized is when I'm really like kind of worked up and going in my, and my nervous system's, like really, really running, I tap really fast as like duck. Right. You don't wanna do that. You wanna tap slow. The whole goal is that we are slowing down our system. We are getting outta that fear response, and we're coming into a calm state.
So. The tapping was kind of weird to do in front of people and I [00:06:00] noticed I was doing it a lot. So I said, okay, I really love the tapping, but I need to add something else into my protocol in the morning so that I'm starting the day on the right foot and not feeling like this fight or flight. So what have I started to add?
Well, I've been grounding for a little bit. If you dunno what grounding is, basically you go outside now they have grounding pads. I have not used any, so I cannot. Give you any ideas on those. But I know we've had some guests on this podcast who've talked about grounding as well. I know I've talked about it with many people because we all kind of do it right.
So maybe it's something good to do. So the way I do grounding is I go outside either on grass or on dirt. It needs to be on earth soil. The whole point is that we have electrodes running throughout our body, and what happens is. If those electrodes are not allowed to be released and go out, they wreak ha inside of our body, and I am the type of person, I have a Tesla, [00:07:00] and if I'm not grounding for a long time, I actually get shocked.
Repeatedly, every time I touch my car to get in, to get out, to drive it, to touch the, the screen, I'm always getting shocked. I was known in the corporate world when I used to be in the corporate world, that I was the blue screen, a death lady, because I carried a charge, a massive charge, and I would get these computers and I would go back to technology.
The, the IT department. I'd be like. I need a new computer. And they're like, why? And I'm like, it's giving me the blue screen of death. They're like, again. I'm like, yeah, I'm basically shocking my computer. Right? So I have found that when I go outside and I ground that, I don't build up that shock. What I also have been found finding is that when I go out to do my grounding, I have my bare feet on the Earth's soil.
I feel very calm. Right. And I always wondered when my sister was so calm. My sister loves the beach, like she lives and [00:08:00] breathes at the beach. My sister's always in the sand. She's always in natural water. She's always in the stuff and she's just that calm really trippy, like happy person because she's constantly always grounding, she's always feeling at peace with the, with the world, the energy, everything.
I don't think she realizes she's doing it. Maybe she does. I don't think I've ever asked her. But that could be something where it's like you're doing that, you're at the beach, you're at the water, and it has to be natural earth water, like, like the ocean to be able to do it right? Pools don't really count.
Sorry. But you go out and you stand on it. So I give myself 10 minutes of grounding every morning. I've been doing that consistently for one month. It has made me feel so good. I just feel so much more relaxed. But that's just one element of what I've been doing. So I go outside and here's the big thing I have noticed.
'cause I track my sleep like crazy. Okay? Grounding is important, it adds, so we need to do that. But if you track your sleep, you need to look at your sleep cycles. What I [00:09:00] struggle with is my deep sleep and my. rem I will notice that sometimes I have a lot of deep and no REM or I have a lot of rem.
I'm a very, very vivid dreamer, like very vivid, and I can remember all my dreams in detail. I have very weird dreams. Not like to creep people out, but I have seen things in my dreams that come true later on. It's, it's kind of a weird thing. So I'm very vivid in the dreaming. I track what I like, see how I feel, how my sleep is, and what I've been noticing is I am, I'm waking up.
So I'm trying to get my rhythm. I'm gonna say it wrong. My, my I can never remember the name of it, but it's the, the sleeper them right? I'm trying to get that dialed in where I just wake up naturally in the morning and I feel good and I'm not so groggy. 'cause a lot of times I wake up groggy and I couldn't figure out why I am so groggy all day long.
I wake up groggy. So I started really watching my sleep [00:10:00] cycles and what I noticed is my sleep cycles, and I believe this is true for most people, run at a 90 minute interval. So you usually change in and out of deep and REM and core every 90 minutes or so. So what I've been noticing is my body will try to wake up when it, it's done with its core and it tries to wake up, but my brain is still tired and my brain says no, and it wants to flip me back into rem.
And I go into rem. And once I'm in rem, I mean I'm full on dreaming and I sleep for another hour and a half or two hours. And then what happens is. I'm like, okay, I'm rested. But if for some reason I fall back into REM and my body has to like, I have to get up to go take the kids to school or have an appointment or whatever, I wake up, I'm like jolted awake almost, and I'm groggy for hours.
Like I can never get out of it because what happened? Is there's a disconnect between my body and my [00:11:00] state and my brain. Okay? My brain wants to sleep more. My body wants to wake up, and my state has not connected them. So I've come to realize that I need my brain to work. I need to be able to wake up before I hit REM again.
So what I've been doing is training myself, so as soon as I wake up. Even if I'm like, oh, I want, that was a good dream. I wanna go back to it. I say, no, get up, stretch. I go out at first light. So within 30 minutes of waking up, you wanna go outside and get real sunlight, like real, real sunlight. When you go out and you get natural sunlight, especially in the early mornings, they say you should get it between sunrise up to 11 in the morning.
That's the best sunlight. That's your ultra ultraviolet, that's your red light that you need. Like when people say they're doing red light therapy, that gives you a lot of it. So I've been training myself. As soon as I wake up, go get the fresh sunlight, go [00:12:00] stand on the ground for 10 minutes. I practice gratitude, which is the next thing that I've done.
But I'm outside in the sun and I'm taking it in that red light, that spectrum that we're getting when the sun is coming up at that time of day. It's actually giving energy to our mitochondria. It's teaching our mitochondria like, wake up, here's your energy. Feel good for the day. And what happens is it starts it off on the right foot.
What I have noticed by doing this is my body's no longer kind of like shocking awake. It actually naturally wakes up. Now I would probably say I'm getting up at like six 30 or seven naturally. I'm not falling back into the rem like I was before. I don't feel groggy throughout the day. I wake up super alert, super rested, feeling good.
The other day I had crappy sleep. I don't know what happened, to be honest. I got like 30 minutes of deep. I got like 60 minutes of REM and I still [00:13:00] woke up feeling so good. Like I just felt like I was alert, I was ready. I was like, oh. I was like, I was a little tired. Like I could tell I didn't sleep as well, but I was like, but I feel really good today.
And I think it's because I've really reset my sleep cycles. My body is used to waking up. It looks for the sunlight. It wants the sunlight. Okay, so I've done the grounding. I get up before I fall back into Ram again, make sure that I'm moving. I drink a full cup of water right when I wake up because I am actually quite thirsty when I go to sleep.
I've been doing some really heavy detoxing and so I'm really thirsty when I wake up. But you always want a full cup of water. Make sure it's filtered clean water 'cause that's what your body needs. And then I go outside. I take my flip flops off on a safe place. I'm on the ground and I face, I know it sounds weird, but I face the sun.
You don't have to face the sun, but I like to face the sun. I don't look at the sun and I just face it. I close my eyes and I feel the warmth on my body. [00:14:00] Even. How crazy is this? Even on a cloudy morning, I feel the warmth on my skin. If you take a moment and be present in the moment. When I am outside, I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin.
I feel the hairs on my arms stand up, the goosebumps over my body. I feel all of it. That's what you wanna do when you're out there. You're grounding, you're releasing all that bad energy, all that tension, all this stuff stored in your body, and then you're taking in the light, the energy to give your mitochondria what they need to get going to feel good, what your cells need to fix things, to repair things.
You're getting everything that you need, right? When you're present in the moment, you're feeling it, you're listening. It calms your nervous system. It makes your nervous system feel safe, feel heard and seen. Right. [00:15:00] That's so important. And so I go and I take my 10 minutes grounding. I'm facing the sun with usually with my eyes closed.
You wanna take and look to one side and open your eyes. 'cause it's good for your eyes. You close your eyes, you look to the other shoulder, open your eyes and you look out because the light on your eyes actually helps. Now I have to find the research on this one, but I was told it helps with nearsightedness as you get older.
So you wanna make sure you get that morning light. It's really important, so go out there and do that now. I have my cup of water. I'm making sure I'm waking up before I fall back into another section of my rem, right? So I don't feel groggy. I get up, I get my water, I head outside. I take my flip flops off.
I ground, I'm facing the sun if it's cold. 'cause trust me, the past couple mornings, the fog has been thick and it has been cold. It's like to be out there that 10 minutes, I'm like, oh my God, it's cold. So then I tell myself [00:16:00] it's good to feel cold, feel the cold, right? Like I'm talking myself through the cold, but I'm like really cold.
I have a sweater on and I'm like, cold. Cold, right? But like I'm just. Enjoying the moments. I hear the birds, I'm being present and I'm calming my system. And then the next thing I do is I practice gratitude. This one's a huge one. You heard Mindy and I talk about this. We have to talk about gratitude.
And I think I remember in the episode, I'll have to look at what episode it is, I'll put it in the show notes. Mindy and I were talking about. How, like she actually would go ahead and have gratitude when she was just filling up her water. Like, she would just take a minute in that and be like, I'm just gonna be, have gratitude that I'm filling up my water and that I have water.
Right? Like, all this stuff makes such a difference in what we do, that we have to really understand that we have that. So we wanna make sure that we [00:17:00] practice the right gratitude and know what it is that we're doing.
Ad - Bioptimizer: Do you wanna optimize your energy and stop feeling drained, stressed, and relying on caffeine just to power through your day? Okay, it's time for a change. I'm Christina Coco's, the Effortless Closing Coach, and if you've been following me, you know I'm all about scaling your business the smart way without burning out.
But here's the truth, no matter how dialed in your strategy is, if your body isn't running at full capacity, your business will suffer. That's why health is a non-negotiable for me and why I've been using BiOptimizers for over four years to keep my energy focused and stress levels in check. Okay? Think about it like this.
Your business is a high performance machine. Would you run it on cheap? Fuel. If you've ever come into one of my ECM courses or heard me talk about it, I talk about the ECM, the Effortless closing machine, and how you cannot [00:18:00] put cheap fuel, which is bad leads into the machine 'cause you'll get bad results.
This is no different for your body. You need the right support to function at your best. So let me break it down if you are feeling bloated or sluggish after meals. You are not digesting your food properly, which means you are not absorbing the nutrients you need for energy. That's where Mass Siam and HCL breakthrough comes in.
These digestive powerhouses help your body break down food efficiently so you get more fuel and fewer crashes. What about struggling with brain fog or midday fatigue? Those are the worst. That could be your gut health holding you back. Probiotics, breakthrough, which used to be P three Om. Keeps your digestion running smoothly, eliminating bloating and support mental clarity so you can stay sharp in every client meeting.
Now what if you feel wired but exhausted at the same time? Did you know that stress and cortisol working havoc on your [00:19:00] system? My favorite go-to thing is magnesium breakthrough. It's my secret weapon. It lowers my cortisol, improves my sleep, and keeps me calm and energized all day long. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a game changer these supplements have been for me.
They've helped me run multiple businesses, raise four kids, and scale my income all without feeling like I was running an empty. So here's the deal.

So what I do is when I'm standing outside. And I'm grounding and I've already had my water and I'm getting the sunlight and I'm listening to the birds chirp and, and they're building houses nearby, so like I'm hearing them actually, you're hearing just banging and nail guns going off, so it's not that peaceful.
Right. But like I just focus on the birds. I focus on the leaves blowing with the wind, like I'm listening to different things and I'm being really present in the moment. Then I give gratitude, and the gratitude can be what you want it to be. Really be grateful for what you need to be grateful for.
The first few days I did that, I was crying. You know, I just, I would tear up about stuff and I would just feel this big pit in my stomach as I'm giving gratitude because my body and my soul and the whole world around me felt the vibration of it. It wasn't fake. It was deep rooted, real [00:21:00] gratitude, right?
Like, I'm grateful I have a house over my head. I'm grateful. I have food every day to eat. I'm grateful I have clean water to drink. Right. And you could, you don't have to be like me. You could just be like, oh, I'm grateful that, you know, I get to, I get to work on a podcast, or I'm grateful that you know, I get to go to a concert.
Like, whatever you're grateful for, that's you. This has to be you. Right? So I talk about a lot about how I'm grateful for my children how lucky I am. 'cause I know so many people who are struggling just to have children, or, uh, several of my friends have lost. Their children through cancer. Right. I've lost a child myself.
When he was 30, when I was 30 weeks pregnant, he passed away inside me. So like, I am grateful for the kids that I have. I'm grateful for the moments I get for them. I'm grateful for the body I have. It doesn't work very well right now. And I joke about that 'cause that's, that, that, that imposter syndrome, that fear thought.
It's not really imposter syndrome, but it's like a fear thought that [00:22:00] pops in where I'm like, I'm like, yeah, but it's not working great. Right? But then I remind myself, well, I'm grateful I don't have cancer. I'm grateful that I can show up every day to the people that I work with. I'm grateful I can create this podcast.
I'm grateful I have my YouTube. I enjoy all that stuff. Like I have fun with this. So my gratitude is really coming deep rooted. And you have to get deep rooted to really create that gratitude that's gonna change it. That's gonna change the vibrations that you're creating and you're doing. So a lot of times I will sit there with the gratitude.
Some are short, some are longer, just depends on the day and what I need. Then I stop as I'm still grounding, still in sunlight, and I open my arms up. If you've ever done yoga, they kind of open 'em up, go up over to your head. I actually pull them down to my center. And I work on my breath work. I give myself some big, huge breath in while I'm taking my arms up, and then I hold it for a second, and as I bring my arms together in a pose at [00:23:00] my chest, I actually vibrate my voice so that I'm vibrating my vagus nerve to help calm my system.
So it's like. Uh,
like that is your vibration, your vagus nerve that actually calms your system. So I'll do that 10 or 15 times. It gives me a great oxygen. It gives my vagus nerve activated because it's similar to tapping, right? And I'm just standing out there and I'm just enjoying the moment. I do that for 10 minutes. 10 minutes in my morning.
I have been doing that for a whole month. I have been feeling. Amazing. I have so much energy throughout the day before, and I was just talking to one of my really good friends about this today at lunch, and I was like. I feel like in the past I would work for three, four hours and I'd be like, oh my God, I'm so tired.
I'd be like, okay, but I have more to do. And I would shake it off. I would go get myself some like, chocolate [00:24:00] or something like a, a fast sugar to kind of gimme that, like pick me up. 'cause I can't have a lot of caffeine. And I know there's caffeine and, and sugar and chocolate and stuff, but.
I would have some of that now. I was telling my friend, I'm like, it's so weird. Like I just have energy. I go all day now. By the time I'm recording this and it is 10 19 at night. So now I feel tired. I'm like, now I'm feeling tired. But that's okay because I've set my sleep cycles and my body is already adjusted to wanting to go to sleep Now because I've spent the day, I've done everything I've needed.
So in 10 minutes in the morning, I've changed so much that I actually am feeling. More energized. I'm feeling better. These are so, so, so simple. Okay. Like so simple. Then what I do after my 10 minutes, I've just started adding this maybe like two weeks ago, and I like it. I turn on my watch and I walk, so I'm staying with my parents for right now and they have a really, really long driveway because I'm [00:25:00] like, I don't wanna put clothes on.
I don't wanna go walk super far away, like. Some days I'm in the mood to kind of get a little more of a walk. In some days I don't wanna walk at all, so I'm like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna ground, I'm gonna give gratitude. I'm gonna get my sunlight. I'm supposed to get 20 minutes of sunlight in the morning to counteract all the blue light and everything else.
Especially as you start the day. It's better to do. To get that sunlight because if you're gonna be in front of a computer all day, you want that kind of barrier built. So 20 minutes. So I do the 10 minutes of grounding in the sunlight and everything else, but then I'm trying to get 10 minutes adding to my 20 of light, but I'm walking right?
I'm getting a little like energized. So I've been walking up and down their driveway for 10 minutes. It turns out to be a little more than half a mile when I'm all said and done. And. I just feel refreshed. I just feel so good and then I go inside and make my breakfast and I start my day. And then in the evening, I haven't been as consistent with this because I get very busy throughout the day.
But I [00:26:00] try really hard to go out and get sunlight. In the evening when the sun is setting, it's a different spectrum of light that really is supposed to help you. It sets your sleep cycle, it tells your body rests and digests. It does a lot of that. I have not been able to be as consistent with that because I find especially these past few weeks, I'm sitting down and I'm working, working, working.
Or like today, I didn't even get back home until almost eight o'clock. And then I had a, my, my daughter made, she made me some little coffee cake. It was so cute. So I had some of the coffee cake she made me, I sat down, I had some water. I've been recording my podcasts, right? So like, I haven't had a minute.
I didn't really get to go outside, but I wanna add that in. And then I wanna come back and tell you like how that works. But just adding in what I've told you right. That is tracking your sleep, making sure you wake up when you're at the proper time to wake up. When you're in transition between your sleep modes in your body, you need to be able to wake up and [00:27:00] get up and feel rested.
Then drinking a big cup of water. You can add electrolytes into it. I do electrolytes when I come back in. I have a really, really great electrolyte. Because I struggle with electrolytes in my body. So this one here is what the pro athletes use, and it's been the best. So I use that later. But you can always start with that if you want.
I know people will put lemon and salt in their water first thing in the morning. You can do that too. I just get a nice big cup of water that's sitting by my wet bedside the night before, and I just drink it down because I'm super thirsty. Then I go outside. 10 minutes of grounding on the ground, bare feet to ground to earth.
Okay? That could be on grass, that could be on earth. But stay somewhere. I mean, think about it, stay somewhere. You're not gonna hurt your feet. Get a cut, an animal's gonna attack you. Nothing like that. So make sure you're in a safe place. I did wanna mention this earlier. I had someone on this podcast and they said.
You know what if you are not able to go outside [00:28:00] and ground because it's raining, right? Which when I get to Tennessee, I'll start experiencing that more. She said if you go into a wood floor, you get into child pose, you put your hands out like child pose, but you touch your forehead to the wood floor and you make a vibration, which I was telling you, like the vagus nerve that actually grounds you.
I didn't know that. I thought that was so, so cool. So I'll have to try that when I get in the situation where it's raining out. But go outside, get your feet on the ground, ground for your 10 minutes. Get your sunlight. It needs to be from sunrise to about 11:00 AM. If you go after 11:00 AM you need less time.
And it's different sunlight. It's a different if it, it's a different ray. So we wanna make sure that we're getting what we need to help our body have the energy. To sustain, right? So you're 10 minutes to that. Then I practice gratitude. Whatever your grad gratitude needs to be. I take a whole bunch of big breaths and I actually [00:29:00] you can hum a song.
You can just vibrate the vagus nerve by just kind of making a noise as you breathe out, which is what I do. All of that is training your body to just rest and digest. And when I'm done. I feel so good. The energy that I have throughout the day has been fantastic. I'm gonna keep with this protocol. I love it.
If you are a biohacker and you know some of this and you do some really cool protocols, can you leave a comment and let us know because. I am all for this and I am working so hard to get my body to work right, to get my brain to work right, to have the energy, to give you guys everything I wanna give you.
'cause I got so much I wanna give you. But I am really big into all this. So if you know cool little tricks and tips that you wanna do. Let me know. Let all of us know, and then we can add that to our practice. Because what I'm building, everything I'm building, if you [00:30:00] have a body that doesn't work, you're tired, you can't walk, you can't function.
What is the point of putting all this time and energy into building an empire? If you can't even enjoy it, the whole point of everything that I'm building for you is that you come into my world, we build something crazy and amazing that feels effortless. You get to go travel the world, you get to go do whatever it is.
If you wanna go have a My Thai in front of your pool and do nothing all day, that is you. Let's go do you right. You need to be able to enjoy it. If you get to the point where we build this and you're just like, I don't wanna sit at the pool. My body hurts so bad. Or, oh, my stomach's always upset, I, I don't wanna, I don't wanna sit at the pool.
It doesn't make sense. What's the point of this? It, there is no point. So we need to make sure our bodies are working well, that we're taking care of ourselves. So as we're building our empire, as we're leaving a legacy for our children. We get to enjoy all the fun stuff along [00:31:00] the way and inside the House of Cortes, which is my exclusive Society for Women.
I am gonna create so many cool things, depending what room you're in and how you wanna do it. Like I was even thinking about doing one of our conferences on a Ritz-Carlton cruise, which you, if you have not looked that up, please do. They are amazing. I want to go in one so desperately, but I thought that would be cool because they have massages and yoga and all this stuff, and we can like do a day of wellness.
And then we can do a day of training and talking and learning while we're traveling around seeing the world. How cool is that? Like there is opportunity, but if you're not well enough and you're not having the protocols and the practices to keep yourself in a state where as you get older. You just get better then we need to start there.
My goal is I wanna live to 110, but I do not wanna be 110 in a bed with no mental capacity with an ability to do [00:32:00] nothing. Like I don't want that. I wanna be 110. Like I see these ladies, my neighbor, she is so amazing. She's 93 years old and she looks like she's 70. And I always joke with her, and she was so funny.
She just bought a, a new home and it's like a part-time home for her. And she's like, who is crazy enough to give a 93-year-old woman a, a mortgage? But I took it. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I'm like, you go girl. And she's like, I got a new home. I'm gonna go spend half the year there and half the year here.
And I was like. Go enjoy your life. Like go enjoy it. She walks, she drives, she's doing all this stuff, and she's told me many times, one day I may not wake up. One day I won't be here. I'm okay with that, but I won't enjoy my life until then. And I was like, absolutely. So for all of you out there who are like, I'm working so hard, I'm doing so much.
I feel so tired, so exhausted. I want to help you change that. I [00:33:00] want you to. Work in a way that feels effortless. We all have to put the work in. It doesn't disappear, it's how we do it. That makes a difference. I want you to enjoy your children. So like I, my one friend was like, I'm so exhausted by the time I get to my office to work, because I.
It's not that my kids are annoying or anything, like I enjoy them, but it's like so much interaction and noise and everything. My brain's at an overload that when I get to the office, I can't even work for a while. Right? Like how can we set those triggers so they don't get triggered? How can we be in the present of that moment and sing with the kids and enjoy the kids, but when we arrive to our office to work, we still have all that energy ready to work, right?
How can we optimize ourselves? So that we can optimize our business, and that's what this is all about. So I hope you enjoyed this episode. It was a little bit different talking about my protocols, what I'm doing in the mornings, how it's affecting me. I will keep you guys posted. If you like this content, let me know.
I [00:34:00] wanna do more and more of it. Like I said, I'm gonna create a YouTube about some stuff I just started taking. That's supposed to change everything with your gut. And I'm gonna tell you, it is crazy what has done to my gut. I feel so amazing. That could be part of everything too, but it's a collection of things that make a difference.
That keeps you going, that keeps you feeling amazing. And I wanna turn 50, looking like I'm 20, I am 42 years old and I, I have an old creaky body. I have really bad inflammation. I can't even like squat all the way down to the ground because my joints don't work really well. But I am on a mission to change all that because I'm building something amazing.
I've been building things for a long time and I finally got to the point and said. I don't want to be struggling in my life, just with my body working. I don't wanna wake up, put my feet on the ground and go, oh, they hurt so bad. Everything hurts. I don't want that anymore. That's a choice. That's not life.[00:35:00]
