Cyclical Keto: Experiment with alternating between a ketogenic diet (low-carb, high-fat) and a higher-carb diet to optimize fat burning and energy levels.
NAD+ Boosters: Consider supplementing with precursors like nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to support cellular energy and repair, potentially slowing down aging.
Optimize your gut microbiome: Take a high-quality probiotic and consume fermented foods regularly to support digestion, immunity, and overall health.
Embrace the cold: Start your day with a cold shower or finish your workout with an ice bath to improve circulation, boost metabolism, and increase resilience.
Prioritize strength training: Incorporate resistance training at least 2-3 times per week to build muscle mass, improve bone density, and boost metabolism.
Experiment with HIIT: Try high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts to maximize your fitness gains in less time.
Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends, to regulate your circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality.
Create a relaxing bedtime routine: Avoid screens, dim the lights, and engage in calming activities like reading or meditation before bed to prepare your body for sleep.
Invest in a quality mattress and pillows: Ensure your sleep environment is comfortable and supportive to promote restful sleep.
Practice mindful breathing: Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath and bring awareness to the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety.
Cultivate gratitude: Keep a gratitude journal or simply reflect on the things you are thankful for each day to improve your overall well-being.
Spend time in nature: Disconnect from technology and immerse yourself in nature to reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance cognitive function.
Track your sleep with a wearable device: Monitor your sleep patterns, heart rate variability (HRV), and other metrics to gain insights into your sleep quality and overall health.
Use blue-light blocking glasses: Wear these glasses in the evening to reduce exposure to blue light, which can disrupt your circadian rhythm and interfere with sleep.
Experiment with red light therapy: Utilize red light therapy devices to promote skin health, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular function.
