We also know that electrolytes are critical to proper hydration, which I've been harping on for years. But you can't do that, proper hydration, by only drinking water. You need to get the right amount of electrolytes in the right ratios, and that's why I'm a huge fan of Element.

In fact, many of you will probably remember that I featured Element in my YouTube series on optimizing hydration nearly five years ago. I featured Element in these videos because their blend of 1,000 milligrams of sodium 200 milligrams potassium, and 60 milligrams of magnesium really is unique and different than any other electrolyte on the market, and it has great scientific support.

I use Element constantly, particularly when I'm sweating a lot, and I routinely make it a part of my clients' optimization programs.

8sleep makes smart mattress covers with cooling, heating, sleep tracking, and more. I've personally been sleeping on an 8sleep mattress cover for years now, and it's absolutely glorious. I love it so much that I hate traveling away from home because it means I can't sleep on my 8 Sleep Pod 4 Ultra.

As you'll hear me talk about endlessly on this podcast, there really is nothing you can do that makes more of an impact on your health and performance than getting tremendous sleep. And getting great sleep requires having your body temperature drop a couple of degrees at night. And that's hard to do on your own. The 8 Sleep has been a game changer for me because I run hot at night.

or as my wife calls it, I'm a furnace. If I don't have something like an 8Sleep helping me cool down, I'll wake up in the middle of the night overheating and not feeling great. This is something I've also found in many of the people that I coach, especially those who are really physically active. The 8Sleep Pod 4 Ultra has two times more cooling power, yet is virtually silent.

Again, that's eightsleep.com slash perform. I want to transition from there and talk about one of the areas you're probably most famous for, and that is nutrition prior to sleep. And it has stunned me that despite you talking about this and working in this area for 15 plus years, I don't know how many publications you have on this, but it's not a small amount.

And it has stunned me that despite you talking about this and working in this area for 15 plus years, I don't know how many publications you have on this, but it's not a small amount.

And very few people have either heard this or put it into practice. I'm really shocked because of how effective, how well-rounded this has been shown, how many different populations you've done this with. And again, people somehow completely either don't talk about it or they give the exact opposite advice. So on the spot right now, tell me exactly what I should be eating prior to bed.
