She is also a serial entrepreneur, founder, and social media influencer. Please welcome the one, the only Zayn Sise. All right, Zaina, uh I like to start the show the same way I start with every single one of my guests. What's your morning routine?
Okay, very complicated question because it varies, okay? I'm a very type B plus person, meaning I know everyone's like, What's the plus? So I can actually tap into type A when I need to, but it takes a lot of effort for me to get there. It's like a hybrid. Like I can get there, my default's type B. So I always try. I'm a B plus. It's kind of like uh It's kinda like a
I I refer to that as how I like my steak, medium rare plus.
Medium rare plus. That is hilarious. But no, like seriously, my morning routine varies, but I like to my ultimate like when I'm actually like on my grind, like all right, I hit everything. I love to wake up with the sun, you know. I like to not necessarily like have an alarm clock unless I have something to go to, but like, you know, wake up organically. I like to meditate while I'm in bed, like say a prayer. Um, and then I go straight into gut health. So like have water and then I have some type of supplement, whether it's like my probiotic. And then lately I've actually been doing olive oil and lemon shot. Have you done that before? I
do olive oil every day. I haven't added the lemon in I do it with sour sap bitters.
Oh, okay. Soursap. My mom has been trying to get me on that. So I do
a shot of sour sap and o olive oil.
Yeah, so
Right after
Mix it all together. Before I was just doing the basic lemon water, but then I was like, you know what? I heard some great things about olive oil. Let me try that. But you have to make sure you get the right type of olive oil, not the blend and all of that. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
So I do that and then I get ready for the day, working out.
