Perfect for like being healthy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. So what I would do is wake up when I would naturally wake up. I typically naturally wake up around 7 a.m.

Just wake up naturally. Yeah. I mean, the only time I use an alarm is if I have to wake up before 7, like I'm doing a sunrise hike or something, or I'm in another time zone or something and I have to use it. But I would wake up naturally, which is usually around 7 a.m., I personally like to have coffee.

So I, you know, I have my coffee and then sometimes I'll do like a little bit of like maybe a protein shake or I'll have some like egg or something like very light that's protein. And then I'll go outside because I want that early morning light exposure to reset my circadian rhythm so that I, again, fall asleep at the right time.

And then I'll go outside because I want that early morning light exposure to reset my circadian rhythm so that I, again, fall asleep at the right time.
And it's really that light exposure early in the morning is very important for that resetting of the circadian rhythm. I would go outside and I work out. I work out outside. Actually, almost all the time. Really? I work out outside. I do my lifting outside. So I would go out and I would do my sort of CrossFit training protocol, which I love. And so this is like an hour-long workout.

And so this is like an hour-long workout.
And I do some resistance training depending on the day. Maybe I'll do some squats and deadlifts. Mix it in with a workout, maybe some rowing in there, burpees, a little push-ups. You know, I'm getting the best of both worlds. I'm getting the hit and the resistance training. I do that for an hour. And then I would probably have the sauna already on and it would be about 175.

I don't like to go too high these days, like about 175, especially after a workout. And I go in the sauna and I would either, listen to some music or maybe a podcast that I'm interested in listening to, or maybe read a book or read a science study. And so I'd be in there for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how I'm feeling. And sometimes I'll put some water on the rocks to get steam.

I like the steam as well. So I do that. Then I'll get out and then I'll have my bigger protein meal.

I like a little bit because especially if you're going a little bit harder and you're doing some high intensity, I find that it helps me not get so dizzy.

Yeah. So I mentioned like I'll have like a protein shake. Sometimes I'll also have like a half an apple. Like I'll cut half an apple for myself. Something, yeah. Something. Like I like a little bit of something. And then after that, I'll have my meal. Like I'll have a frittata, egg frittata that has broccoli in it. I'll have a big serving of it. And then I'll have some, I like my yerba mate tea.
