Thanks a lot for the video mate! One thing I always wondered about the “getting into the sun (or at least day light) right away”, what do you do in the winter when you get up when it’s dark ?

What is the name of the book you mention at the end of this video?

@@jenniferocampo3873 Think and Grow Rich - I recommend checking out the video on it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja56eJqetbelqHU.htmlsi=zkyfuOqwoHJBMv-p

What is the mineral you place in the water in the morning??

@@angreifer05 yes! I actually came here to post the same question!

Thx !

Thanks 😊

Amazing, isn’t crazy how 1 simple thing like that can make such a big impact?

I do park my car 35 mins away from office and do this brisky walk. Coffee at 9 wake up at 7. Smash my work by 2. Do talking and laughing after 2

Tried and true.

How

@@Bombaygirl101 you get your body moving first thing in the morning. But you have your get your ass out of bed!!!

Wow, that’s so powerful. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a big fan of Wim and have been practicing his breathwork and ice baths for around 3 - 4 years now. Game changing stuff!!

So ice baths also suppress and shut down your nervous system. Which is way worse than facing your trauma and regulating your nervous system. I did cold baths for 21 days in a row and it messed me up! It's been almost a year and I'm not healthy. Any thoughts?

If you have these thoughts, you probably had childhood trauma and taking cold showers is not the solution.

@@specialkaypb i have no idea. I am not saying cold showers are go to for everyone. If this kind of thing is happening to you please refer to a doctor. I have no expertise for that. I just wrote what my experience was. What happened to you never happened to me. My nervous system never shut down. I think you definitely should go to a doctor. You can also try wim hoff breathing techniques. It helps improve the immune system somehow. When i stop doing the wim hoff breathing for couple of months i start to get sick(not like I am sick everyday I am just open to sickness) and when i go back to doing it. I never feel bad in general and have Almost no down days

@@quantondev 💯!!! Never get sick. It’s been three years now since starting Wim Hof breathing and cold showers/ice baths.

My pleasure! Glad you found it useful! It was hard to find one clear source so I’m glad to hear your feedback. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Eddie 🙏🙏

Thank you so much 🙏🙏 I appreciate the support

Thank you very much!!! I appreciate the support :)

This should be the next challenge 🤌😆. I respect that, I can’t do that much alcohol anymore, the days after are too much

I like this. I'm gonna try this routine too. I definitely need a push. Thanks

Bet that’s not your desirable routine? And if it is, you don’t watch Huberman often lol.

Time your exposure to the coffee so that you drink it 90 minutes after waking up. Start cutting down on your Tennant and smokes, save the money and put it aside. 2030-you will be grateful!

♥♥♥ Awesome :) thanks for watching and commenting on your key takeaways - I appreciate the support!!

@@demikeproductions sure thing! I always have a hard time retaining all of info, so I always appreciate when someone else takes the time to write down some highlights!

Thanks ❤

Thank you for taking time to put the info in this format it’s very helpful

Thank you Jesus couldn’t last more than 3 minutes

I love it!! That's amazing to hear Jesse! Super inspiring you got this!

I’ve started with the cold showers and will work up the ice baths I know it will kick me but will be worth it

The shower is harder

@@DouglasEKnappMSAOM I agree

@@missjaclynlouiseI’ve actually found the ice bath to be easier than the cold showers….. not sure the science behind it, but the cold shower is way more difficult to me

Love it! That’s awesome you’ve been doing many of these already. Totally agree, it makes a huge difference. Thanks for supporting the channel my man! 💪💪

I feel like it’s going back to being pretty much a kid again. When we were kids well, those of us who grew up in the 80s anyway for the most part, and before then, we woke up, hit the ground running to go outside and play. I would bet vitamin D levels were Astoundingly better for people of that era. So we got our sunshine and we got our exercise and we jumped in cold water in the rivers and lakes. Maybe not in the order that Huberman recommends but in general we lived mostly outside. We had exposure to being grounded, with bare feet on the Earth, naturally. We drank water out of hoses and we played in dirt in built up our immunity. As an adult living like a kid when you were younger with complete freedom pretty much is not the norm, nor is it some thing most of us can do, due to adult responsibilities with our families and our commitments to them and work career life, as well as our jobs. I truly think we are on the cusp of going, and growing to a better way of doing things. as humans on the whole. Where the work life balance is concerned, I think of the past and how we are all indoctrinated into pretty much becoming consumers and productive workers with the goal, being to get married, and have a house and new cars and all the trappings of trying to keep up with the Jones’. As Americans, we are very lucky and one sense to have had such prosperity many of us, but it is come with a cost, and the hangover which could probably be the topic of another podcast. My point being it’s good to see people looking at alternate ways to live the American dream. Tinier homes or even working remotely from an RV and seeing the country and a lot of them while raising a Family and homeschooling them with their own values. It’s nice to see there’s not judgment so much anymore, when people decide to do things differently. On one hand, I am so optimistic and excited for the world when I get glimpses of these new trends and ways of showing that all love matters and compassion and empathy has a place in every environment. At the same time as that, I’m also scared of the people clawing and digging their hills in the ground ready to die on a hill that no longer serves society or even themselves if they truly look at their beliefs that can only divide further at a time where we can’t afford anymore isolation and divisiveness with so much racial tension, but even more scary the political differences that are making such a huge divide between the far right and left, for the first time in my life I could actually see the 💩 hitting the fan in this decade, and that would be horrific with disastrous and shameful consequences. I don’t know. I feel like I sound preachy and I so didn’t mean to come on here and comment this long, but I just hope humans rise above all this and get back to I guess thinking for themselves what’s best for them and realizing others can do in a completely different way, and be just as right, and we can all live happily as long as we respect and encourage each other. I think if people start with themselves with programs like this, where they are noticeably and statistically happier it all begins with one person, yourself and the energy that you put out to those around you. It truly is infectious. I just watched a podcast where the neuroscientist said that stress actually seeps through your skin, and so it is physically contagious. So like that’s why certain bosses can make such an unhappy, work environment and why mothers and fathers totally set the tone for the household. So it’s not selfish putting yourself first and making sure you’re happy because you’ll actually be spreading that effect and helping others just by being at that point. There’s so many different chemicals involved I love hearing Dr. Huberman speak about oxytocin and testosterone, I love all of his information he shares. It’s a great time to be alive as far as having access to information that you would’ve had to only get to read one book at a time if you could buy it or check it out now you just type it in and Wala, you instantly are in the know. It’s nice to see so many people wanting to do the work and rise up in terms of being a happier and healthier person. Because we are the ones that are going to have to help the people that haven’t grasped that concept yet and or may be stuck in their sadness and despair, and not even think about stuff like this, I know at one point I never did. OK I’m gonna shut up. I’m a small chance. Somebody is still actually reading this novella I wrote that was supposed to be maybe three sentences. I guess I must like to hear myself talk in comments? I better go look up narcissism… 😂

I live up north and I was wondering about artifical sunlight for when we don't have any?

@@rainbowinthedark453 nice comment

You don't need to say "10am in the morning," or "2pm in the afternoon." The am and pm indicate that it's the morning or afternoon, respectively.

Great to hear! Thanks for supporting my channel 🙏 take what you can and make it your own :)

When I wake up in the mornings, it is dark. How do I get the morning light for that natural, gentle waking feeling. Is there a lamp that gives natural light?

no, artificial light will not give the effect you need. You'll just have to wait until it gets brighter@@wll7773

Thank you so much!! Support like this absolutely makes that happen. Can’t thank you enough, means a lot 🙏

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the kind words and support 🙏🙏 I work hard on the editing so glad to hear that’s resonating and I appreciate the glow comment haha, small things like this add up. Thank you for being here!

Yeah, I felt the same way watching this. Soothing video. 😄

I agree. Beautiful job kind sir!!

No problem, glad it was helpful! Very cool, great to hear you’re teaching them healthy habits as well :)

Good for you for homeschooling and trying to provide the best for your kids. Your comment was a reality check for me as a dad of two young boys.

No problem, glad you liked it! I appreciate you being here Chuck :)

Thank you so much! Super appreciate the kind words and support ☺️

No problem! Thanks for watching and the support, means the world! 🙏😊

I love that. I also became too obsessive over the routine, but I feel like adding some of these staples to your day make all the difference (when you can) - sounds like you've got a great routine. I like the drink mix in the morning & headspace is a great app!

Thanks Vee, I appreciate it!!

Hey JeanPaulinho! Thank you for your feedback and for supporting the channel. Really excited to hear this video was helpful and time-saving to help you improve your morning routine. As a small KZfaqr, you never know if the vids you're making are useful in the beginning, so I super appreciate this!

Thank you so much 🙏 means a lot my friend ❤️

Thank you Jess, super appreciate the support!! Hope this video helps :)

For real! Glad to hear it’s helping you! Next ti the cold plunge or shower, the caffeine delay is one of the most noticeable techniques for me. Kills the crash :) thanks for dropping in and sharing, pumped to hear it!

I don't drink caffeine at all though, so what's to try then?

@@boreduser12 light early, water with minerals/salts, cold exposure, exercise, planning and structuring your work, basically everything else in the video minus delaying caffeine.

I pull 70+ hours a week just at work no kids. I don't touch caffeine. Dunno. Never really been for it.

@@demikeproductions have you tried black tea instead? (or green). I know there is still caffiene obv but i find it a bit less crash prone.

Awesome to hear! No problem, glad you enjoyed it and discovered Huberman’s work! 🙏

Yes this video was powerful! Someone normal, like us, doing what we al know we should be. Very motivational! Thank you so much

Thank you so much 🙏 I appreciate the support, feedback, and subscription!! Let’s make 2024 a great one ☝️

Thanks for the feedback and no problem! Glad this was helpful!

That's great to hear. Crazy how something so simple can be so effective :) I appreciate you watching and commenting here !

That’s awesome, I’ve been doing the wim Hof breathing but I have seen a few clips of him talking about the 2 inhales and one exhale (maybe I have that wrong) how are you supposed to do his breathwork?

@@demikeproductionsThere are a handful of techniques for different scenarios. I have found easiest to incorporate is box breathing in periods of rest (5 seconds inhale, 5 seconds hold, 5 seconds exhale, 5 seconds hold - repeat). I also updated my comment to include intermittent fasting - not sure if you’ve tried that - might be difficult with your jui jitsu schedule.

@@johncrowe6489 oh yea that’s a great one - puts you in a rock solid state 💯 I like it

Absolutely! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Let me know if any of these techniques work for you!!

Thank you my friend! I appreciate the support. It's a pretty quirky intro, but I'm glad it landed haha

Glad it helped, let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching 💪💪

Sounds like an incredible routine, that's amazing. I also love the fact that you're even more motivated to take care of yourself so you can show up best for your family. Many people use kids, jobs, responsibilities as an excuse for lack of action and self care. The real ones realize they need to support their own needs to have more energy, more love, and more support for others.

That’s awesome and great to hear you already have such a solid routine. I’ll be sure to check out that book and more in the Ayurveda :)

Great approach, this is certainly meant to be adapted into whatever your lifestyle looks like. The way I structure my work will be a lot different, but most of the morning principles can be applied in an hour or less (and have the most impact :)

Regimen

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it when all the hours I put in gets noticed :) 🙏🙏

Totally get that, glad you can adapt these into your schedule. Kids will throw many curveballs into your day, but hopefully you can take a few minutes in the beginning of the day for yourself and try some of these techniques! Thanks for being here and supporting the channel!!

Caffeine doesn't give energy, it blocks signals of fatigue and pushes the body to pump out more cortisol and adrenaline. That's neither real energy more healthy.

Hey no problem thanks for watching and supporting me Marty 🙏 means a lot!

Thank you for watching and supporting Victoria! Give one or two of these techniques a try and see how it feels :)

Thank you Josh!! Your support means a lot to me :) I appreciate you being here coach. Which book? Think and Grow Rich? Such a classic :)

@@demikeproductions yes, think and grow rich! what other books would you recommend to build a growth mindset?

@@coachjoshwilcox I’m a fan of Atomic Habits and books on Stoicism like Meditations and the Daily Stoic,

Got it, got it. I always took it as Adenosine builds up over the day and night, still remains high in the morning unless you "burn it off", caffeine masks it, then it's still there causing the crash. I'll do more research on this as well. It sure does help though to set give your self some time in the morning before drinking coffee. Thank you for the insights , watching and the support!!

Dang, thank you so much Linus!! As a new channel this means the world to me 🙌🙌🙌. Glad you liked it!!

Thanks Oliver!! 🙏🙏

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate the note here! Glad you found this useful. Yes I use notion a lot - any serious writing projects I use it for :) That makes sense, you can certainly use the morning techniques and modify the rest or throw it out if it’s not relevant to your day. The pill was an algae omega 3 pill haha 😆 aka the limitless pill

Hey Stefano, thank you so much! Glad you liked the video and excited to hear that you're also going to try this morning routine. I've found it's pretty easy to follow as long as you're prepared, but let me know how it goes!!

Thank you so much, means a ton to me :) I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel 🫡🫡 thanks again Elliot!

I find that sticking to a plan and having discipline is much easier to follow through on when I write out everything that needs to be done each day. Takes the guess work out if it and keeps me honest when I miss.

Thank you for watching and supporting:) that makes sense to me. The nice thing about Huberman’s routine is it’s fluid, meaning you can adopt any of these science backed principles and make them your own. I love that he speaks about that and being able to adapt these into any schedule, and drop some if they don’t serve you. If we did every single health hack he’s talked about we wouldn’t have lives haha.

Hey thanks for commenting and supporting the channel. Realistically you can do half this video with not adding to your schedule at all. Drink a glass of mineral water, delay you coffee intake, take a cold shower. We’re talking 15 minutes. The rest is really optimizing your health and how you go about your work day. You may not own a business and have flexibility of your hours, but you may be able to adjust you approach to completing tasks. Either way, just try one or two of these things. That will take no time at all and you might feel big changes like I did. Just the water & coffee delay make a major difference for me that I can feel. Hope this helps and again, super appreciate the feedback, watching and support 🙏🙏🙏

@@Craigx71 💪Inspiring stuff!! I love this :)

Consider a career change in IT.. Find a Bootcamp in the field...and get a job that pays well working 6 to 8 hours..there arey many remote. jobs available in IT.. Good luck 🤞 I recommend you a great book that may help you in the process. The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma. 🎉

@@Craigx71Awesome!! Failures are bruises, not tattoos

I didn’t properly cite. I in no way coined that phrase, but rather Jon Sinclair. Forgive my lack of proper citation! Thx

Hopefully you can try some of these things, so you feel good and healthy before you get to that age!! I agree his content is awesome.

Sending you and your daughters good wishes from afar.

So sorry to hear about you loss :( Thinking about you and your family. Where I live the sun comes up fully just before 8am at this point in the winter cycle. Huberman clarified this recently that you should get some morning light when it's available and it's not necessary to time your wake schedule right when the sun rises, because this is impractical for most of us. There's also SAD lights that can replicate the morning light as well that are relatively affordable. I hope you can take care of yourself with everything you're going through!

No sunlight in Michigan USA My sincere condolences for your loss❤. Take care of YOURSELF first then you’ll have the energy for you children.

Hey Thanks for the comment! The mineral water is a great addition especially if you're sweating a lot durning intense work outs. I lose a ton of sweat during Jiu Jitsu and I sauna at least 3 days a week (I've found sauna every day is a bit too harsh on my skin). I've found that magnesium water at night is nice as well to wind down for the day.

Haha that’s awesome thanks man 🙏🙏 super appreciate it

Haha thank you! I was trying to have fun with taking him out of context and mixing it with the “Limitless” movie :)

Hey thanks for watching. This routine is literally it. If you just modify the timelines, you won’t find a faster and more effective routine in the internet. Get up when you do, get some artificial light in your eyes if the sun isn’t available, drink some mineral salt water, delay you caffeine intake, take a cold shower, get your exercise in later if it’s too much in the morning (I do that due to my jiu jitsu schedule). The rest of the day is up to you to optimize your work flow. Try a few of these and you’ll be surprised how much of a difference it makes .

@@demikeproductionsso if someone start working at 8:30 am its just wake up at 4:30 am? Easy like that? I mean, the tips are great, but you guys are out of reality

@@Marvosr how long would it take to drink a glass of water, delay your caffeine intake, replace a warm shower with a cold shower, and get outside for 10 minutes? Not very long, most people could do that. I’m not taking 6-10am to do those things. These are the frameworks Huberman has given. I’m getting through these steps quickly and tackling the biggest problems of the day first. These small habits make a big difference, so if you can’t control your schedule, do what you can, take a few positive habits from this and make it work for you. Nowhere did I say everyone has to follow the exact daily routine as a standford professor and podcast host. Hopefully you can try a few of these techniques and make them your own. They’ve impacted me deeply and I hope they do the same for you.

Awesome!! Thanks for being here 🙏🙏

I seen a lot of people using artificial lighting in the morning (especially in winter when the sun isn’t readily available). I’m working on a new project which will discuss this much more in-depth!

@@demikeproductions sounds interesting. I often wonder if we'd be better off getting up and going to be bed with the sun. But would obviously need a big change to our working hours.

Hey Nathan, that’s amazing! Nothing is more important than your health and wellbeing. Sounds like you’ve got a great routine going and priorities in order! Breathing exercises are key! I like doing the Wim Hof method and mixing in some of the Shaolin breath too. I’m curious, what kind of breathing exercises do you like?

What breathing exercise do you do? Have you heard of the box breathing method?

@@michaelvay8610 box breathing is great, I like that for calming the mind. I usually do the wim hof breathing. I have a video on it that I posted 2 videos before this one :)

Been doing similar routine , with Wim Hof breathing before cold shower. Not much sunlight am here in UK at moment , been thinking of having a red light lamp on in background whilst doing breathwork ? Do you think this worthwhile ? One day at a time everyone , we got this 👍

@@johnmorse5197 I did recently invest in a red light. It’s still early, so I can’t say for certain how it’s helped. I have heard that the red light doesn’t trigger your circadian rhythm, but it does have a lot of other benefits. I had a small injury from jiu jitsu (knee), I would place it in front of the light for 10 minutes and it did give me some relief and it seemed like it healed faster

Great question, I see a lot of folks using artificial lighting when they are in climates that is dark/cloudy quite often. Here's a light Bryan Johnson uses and he's spend millions on biohacking. I haven't used it yet myself, but seems to have great reviews amzn.to/3rOsC6p

Thank you for supporting the channel Paul!! You can absolutely adapt most of these techniques for an earlier schedule. The knowledge work section may not apply, but getting a jump start on the day with salt water, caffeine dealt and a cold shower will make a noticeable difference ;)

Hey thank you for watching and supporting the channel. I also live in a climate where the weather is cold 8 months out of the year. During these times I focus heavily on the cold exposure, it increases my mood and productivity big time when it’s cloudy - Have you tried Red Light Therapy?

Sun lamp

@@demikeproductions Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that. I have been finishing my showers off with cold water and I have noticed a boost in mood and energy.

Interesting , thank you. I am looking into Himalayan sea salt as well. I remember doing the master lemonade cleanse and that’s what it recommends in the mornings .

​@demikeproductions can instart with a warm shower then ease into the cold? Lol. Seriously the only way I can do a cold shower.

​@@demikeproductionsalso, how about hot sauna in the morning?

@@ajp8447 for sure you can absolutely do that!! The usual recommendation is to end on cold, but you can certainly start on hot, no problem!

@@ajp8447 I’ve experimented with this and I do really enjoy starting the day with sauna when I’ve had several hard training sessions during the week. Helps loosen me up!

🤣🤣 that’s a boss move right there.

Yea absolutely, listen to your body and do what’s best for you! The body is an incredible thing I haven’t heard of those risks, so consult your doctor if you’re prone to things like that. Small steps is everything, customize it and make it your own. Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏🙏

Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here and supporting the channel :) I hope this helped!! Thanks again 🙏

Following…. RN too..7pm-7am

Great question. You’ll need to modify this quite a bit, but you could still get most of the morning phase done before your shift starts to set up your day. Might also need to break some of these down throughout the day to keep you going. I’ve seen a lot of people use this light when they lack that early morning sun to kick things off, but it’s not totally necessary (I’m also still testing the efficacy of this) amzn.to/3rOsC6p I’d start with one or two habits that resonate with you to try before the work day starts and build your schedule from there.

thank you@@demikeproductions

Just start with your 4 days off and see how that goes?

Set yourself up financially to free your time up over time . Right now you are a 'slave' .

Haha thanks hun 😂
