Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go.
And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle, red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for.
I personally use Therasage Trilight everywhere and all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

Dr. Josh Axe is here. And he said to me, do you have the sleep version of the Magic Mind healthy shot or performance shot? Because he loves it and he wants to take it home. He went to Arrow One to look for it. Is that not accurate?
It's accurate. It is. I actually had a patient who said, hey, this has been helping me sleep. And so I... Yeah, and so I used it one time, but I was looking for it at Air One here in Culver City.
LA, it's LA. LA. Okay, we're going to get you one. All right, so that is really funny because I literally didn't even like... I had to usually... I do this all the time with people because... You can send this to them.
I have to think about if they can post it. I have my part of my non-compete... They probably won't anyway. ...for a year is...
No, no, I've literally sent them so many people because people are actually big fans of this. Yeah. Not for any other reason because it actually is delicious. I just do it because I'm excited for them. I think this is a great product. Anyway, let's do a shot together if you want. Okay, are we filming this?
