THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU TO STEP UP BECOME SELF-RELIANT & TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
And…You Simply Can’t Achieve Your Goals and Live Your Best Life Without Optimizing the Vehicle That’s Going to Get You There…
ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS • You probably don’t lack vision and what you want to achieve (money, freedom, mastery, etc.), so what’s holding you back? • Is it a plan, or are you looking for some type of push? • Do you suffer from low energy, motivation or procrastination?
NOW ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION • Do you really need the Pomodoro Method or other lifestyle hacks to FORCE you to achieve your goals? • Or do you just need more energy and vitality which naturally leads to more effortless output?
AND ONE MORE QUESTION… • Do you need an alarm clock, coffee with butter, and a morning meditation routine to maximize output or are you just missing the natural “chemistry” (hormones & neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine/adrenaline, and cortisol) to feel alive & energized again?
THE BOTTOMLINE IS THIS… If you’re your trying to increase your “willpower” something is wrong…
YOU’RE MISSING THE FLOW STATE Your flow state is where passion, enthusiasm, and output come naturally from having a well-balanced body & mind…
FROM DEATH’S DOORSTEP TO A DESIGNER LIFE How I went from not being able to walk up a flight of stairs to waking up before my alarm clock…
ENGINEERING THE ELITE-MAN BEGINS NOW
HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE THIS?
HERE’S WHAT YOU DON’T DO… • You don't fall for the latest silicon valley start up, drinking butter for breakfast, starve your body of carbohydrates, and complete insane body-crushing workouts of the day… • (Tip: You don’t build yourself up by continually breaking down and depleting yourself!)
INSTEAD, USE STATE-OF-ART SCIENCE (…with a Dash of Common Sense)
FIRST, FOR THE NOT SO COMMON SENSE…
TAKE AWAY #1 You Really Are What You Eat…
ALL TRUE HEALTH EXPERTS AGREE ON THIS: • Protein helps rebuild the body and keep it strong • Fats are key for nervous system & brain health • Carbohydrates are our preferred fuel source (Especially for an active life)
VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, OR MEAT EATER? • Again, the top true health experts are only arguing over about 6-8 ounces of total animal protein per day! • Aim for about 1/2 your bodyweight in ounces of protein per day from a vegan, vegetarian, or animal source
TAKE AWAY #2 Remember What Exercise Is Meant For…
THIS IS NOT SMART EXERCISE • Research on micro tears in heart… • Too catabolic • Elevates cortisol • Increases blood sugar levels • Burns our nervous system
EXERCISE IS ABOUT BALANCE Strength. Agility. Flexibility. Endurance. RECOVERY.
TAKE AWAY #3 Sleep: All Hustle & No Rest = Burn Out
GET SOME SLEEP . BEFORE 10PM. (And, NO you are not a night owl…)
THERE ARE NO NIGHT OWLS… JUST PEOPLE WITH BROKEN CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS
TAKE AWAY #4 What & How You Think Matters…
“Whether You Think You Can or Think YouCan’t - You’re Right.” – Henry Ford
MINDSET MAY BE THE LIMITING FACTOR • Your programming and subconscious thinking may be sabotaging your success - Rewire through events like this and goal setting • Your gut & glands may not be producing the chemicals you need to actually change your thinking - Test, Replace & Rebuild
NOW FOR THE SCIENCE
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER OR EASIER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW TO COMPLETELY ACCESS YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY
BIO-WHAT?
BIOCHEMISTRY IS SIMPLY YOUR BODY’S MECHANISMS & THE STUFF YOU'RE MADE UP OF THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RUN EFFICIENTLY… OR NOT.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE DEFICIENT OR TOXIC? YOU TEST!!
AT-HOME FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE MADE EASY
IT’S TIME TO KNOW WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK
MY BIG 5 • Saliva Test for Adrenal/Cortisol/Hormones • Urine Test for Gut Function & Neurotransmitters • Hair Mineral Analysis Test for Absorption/Stress/Energy/ Heavy Metals • Blood drop test for Omega-3s/Inflammation • Blood drop test for Food Sensitivities
NO GUTS. NO GLORY. Example of Harvard rower (No Energy = absorption problem) & SIBO patientRD (15-20 BMS a day)
IT’S TIME FOR ACTION Always Act & Start When Motivation Strikes!
DO-IT-YOURSELF ACTION PLAN 1. Balance Your Nutrition (Carbs + Fat + Protein) 2. Balance Your Exercise (Hard & Soft) 3. Balance Your Sleep (<10pm - 6am) 4. Balance Your Mindset (Intervals of Work & Rest) 5. Balance Your Body (Repair Your Hormones & Gut)
ADVANCED ACTION PLAN 1. Find a Dr./Coach/Book (Gut, Hormones, Sleep, Mindset, Inflammation, Foods, etc.) www.functionalmedicine.org 2. Run a Functional Medicine Lab (or 2… HTMA, OAT) 3. Follow through with the plan & do the work (Don’t start unless you plan on finishing!) 4. Take Back Control of your life!
COMMIT TO A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE. OWN YOUR LIFE. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. SHARE WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED. LEAVE THE EARTH A BETTER PLACE THAN YOU FOUND IT. LEAVE WITH NO REGRETS. LOVE LIFE.
