These 21 habits will help you become the person that you've always desired to be.

We are creatures of habit. Most of our life is governed by unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

According to research conducted at Stanford University, a human being has approximately 60,000 thoughts per day. Here's the shocking part… 90% of these thoughts are repetitive. If your repetitive thoughts are negative, you'll have a rough day.

I want to help you overcome disempowering habits and take back control of your life.

How are habits formed?

Neuroscientists have traced our habit-making behaviors to a part of the brain called the basal ganglia, which plays a key role in the development of emotions, memories, and pattern recognition. Everyone's brain circuitry is different.

When you repeat a habit or behavior, neural pathways are formed in your brain. The more that you do something, the more that those neural pathways get reinforced and habits become automatic. Most of us are living our lives on autopilot.

If you had to focus on and be aware of everything in your life, you would be overwhelmed. I'm going to guess that you don't focus on the fact that your heart beats one hundred thousand times per day? Or that blood is constantly rushing into your ears?

Your brain filters out distracting thoughts so that you are not overloaded with too much information. Think of your brain as if it were a computer that has an operating system. Inside of that operating system are software and apps, and some of which may be outdated or disempowering.

Here's the great news… YOU have the power to cultivate empowering ways of thinking and behaving. Once you start practicing these new habits, eventually they will become automatic.

How Long Does It Take To Build New Habits? 

Your prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that contributes to your discipline and willpower. For some people, it's easier to develop a new habit (less than two weeks), while for others it takes longer (30-90 days).

The same thing is true with breaking bad habits and addictions. Think about it… if you have an addiction to something and it's a behavior that you've engaged in for many years, neural pathways inside of your brain will be very strong.

When you try to stop destructive behaviors and cultivate more empowering behaviors, the neural wiring is still present. It's been set up in such a way that when you engage in a behavioral pattern, you receive a source of pleasure.

Kind of like a ‘familiar' friend who has always been there. However, deep down inside you know that he or she is not good for your life in the long term. The less that you indulge in destructive habits, the weaker those neural pathways will be in your brain.

Over time, you'll become less impulsive, have more self-control, and your cravings will go away.

Keep in mind that it will probably take 30-90 days for you to develop empowering habits.

You need to train your brain to create a new neural pathway.

On that note, I want to share 21 habits for your health, wealth, & happiness. These habits have personally enriched and empowered my life. Let's dive in!

1. Wake Up At The Same Time Every Morning

It's important for your mind/body to have consistency. When you disrupt your sleeping patterns, it can take a toll on your cognitive and mental health. If you want to test your sleep I highly recommend getting the Oura Ring.

It measures your sleep, activity, heart rate variability, and body temperature. It will even give you indicators on how you will perform for the day based on the measurements that it does for your body.

When you wake up is very important for your circadian rhythm. Pick a time when you want to wake up every day and stick with it. Typically, I like to wake up when the sun rises. Usually, around 6 am. I use a device called the Human Charger that emits blue light through ear pods. It helps with energy production and helps reset your circadian rhythm.

2. Practice Gratitude 

If you're not already grateful for what you have, what is the point in attracting more? I always start my day with a grateful heart. I take out a journal and write down 10 things that I'm grateful for. More importantly, I reflect upon what those things mean to my life.

The more that you focus on gratitude, the more rich that your life will be. When I used to do one-on-one coaching a lot of my clients had programmed the habit of focusing on what was not working well in their life. I would ask them to email me 3 things that they were grateful for each morning and evening.

We must learn how to appreciate the small things in life. In the end, the small things become the big things. The happiest people find joy in the simplest of pleasures. Make it a priority to lose yourself in the magnificence of life. There is so much to be grateful for.

3. Cultivate Self-Awareness and Reflection 

Self-awareness is the most important life skill. You can't change anything that you're not aware of. I am hyper-aware of anything that prevents me from being my best. I like to think and analyze why I behave and feel the way that I do.

Every morning I journal my thoughts. Through that process, I get altitude on my life. Also, I like to talk to myself. It's a way for me to collect my thoughts and release what no longer serves me.

In the words of Jim Rohn, “A life worth living is worth recording.” The more awareness that you can bring to different aspects of your life, the more likely you will be able to identify stuck points that need changing.

4. Be Positive and Optimistic 

If you follow me you know that I'm a positive person. A lot of tragedies will take place in your lifetime. It's a reality that everyone has to face. People you love will die. You will die. Life is fleeting which is why we need to enjoy every moment while we are here.

Unfortunately, we are inundated with a lot of negativity on social media and the news. The news is not designed to inform you. Rather, it's designed to startle you. They are a business so they want to get your views.

They do this by inducing fear inside of you. People pay attention to fear to ensure their survival.

At the same time, there's a lot of joy and beauty in the world. People are achieving great things, babies are being born, people are falling in love and getting married. The list goes on and on!

What you feel is going to be based on what you focus on. If you focus on the positive, you'll attract more good things into your life. I believe that you can find the good in every situation, even the direst circumstances.

In his book Learned Optimism, Martin Seligman demonstrates how optimism enhances the quality of life. He talks about the difference between pessimists and optimists.

Pessimistic people tend to be more accurate about things, but they're also unhappy and less successful in life. On the other hand, optimists tend to be less accurate in how they see things but they are happier and more successful. It's important to be accurate obviously, but also see the good side of life!

5. Plan Your Day/Week/Life 

A lot of happiness and joy comes from living in the present moment. However, if you only live in the present moment, you won't plan for your future. It's a balancing act. Thinking ahead allows you to get ahead.

Getting clear on your goals and the vision that you have for your life will give you a sense of direction. If you don't have a plan, you'll fall into someone else's plan. You don't just want to make a living. Rather, you want to design your life. Part of how you do that is through planning.

I like to plan out my week in advance and schedule things inside of my calendar. Every morning I get clear on 3 high-leverage activities that I want to accomplish. I do the best that I can to stick to that plan. However, a plan is not a prison. You can modify and adjust accordingly.

6. Commit to Never-ending Improvement 

The most successful people in the world are obsessed with learning and growing. They believe that change is possible, which fuels their desire to become more.

In today's world, you must counteract the negative information that you consume on the news with positive information, which you can find in courses, books, or podcasts to name a few things.

We all learn differently. Find something that inspires you, go deep with it, and commit to learning something new every day. You can overcome any challenge in life with knowledge. However, it's up to you to get resourceful and take action.

7. Exercise

Moving your body is extremely important for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. A lot of studies have shown that exercise has more benefits than antidepressants. Many of us live a very sedentary lifestyle.

We are meant to be active throughout the day. As an entrepreneur, I sit a lot. Once I purchased a LifeSpan Treadmill Desk the game changed. When I'm not traveling, I use my desk daily. It has radically shifted my energy levels, improved my mood, and my overall level of productivity.

8. Meditate

In this crazy world where we are overstimulated daily, learning how to calm our minds is a superpower. The more that you are in your head, the more suffering you will experience. Meditation is the antidote to stress and anxiety.

It allows you to develop your pre-frontal cortex which gives you more control over your thoughts. I like to meditate with the Muse headband which tracks the activity in your brain and measures your meditation session. Alternatively, I also like to meditate with the Calm or Headspace apps.

9. Review Your Goals and Vision 

Your vision gives your life direction. You always need something to move towards. If you don't have a compelling future, you'll get lazy. Whenever you're experiencing challenges in life, review your goals and vision.

Doing so allows you to redirect your focus so that you don't lose touch with your why. Maybe this looks like reciting your goals out loud or looking at your vision board. The more you are aware of how you are showing up, the more that you will move in the direction of your dreams.

10. Recite Affirmations

Every day you want to speak out loud about who and what you want to become. Whatever you attach the words, “I AM”, to is what you become. The words you speak have power behind them.

I like to write out the beliefs that I want to cultivate on flashcards and then I express those beliefs using incantations. This means that I use my voice and body to embody the meaning behind the words.

When you do this enough times, you'll start to believe what you're saying and start adopting a more positive outlook. Over time, you will start to embody the person you've always desired to become.

11. Be Disciplined and A Person of Integrity 

Being a person of integrity is doing what you say you're going to do. You want to make sure that you always honor your commitments to the best of your ability. When you don't do what you say you're going to do, you lose confidence and trust in yourself.

You may not feel like doing something, but I promise that you'll be proud of yourself for taking action. Start small. Whatever goal you set, make it attainable. Don't make a commitment that you can't keep.

As you get mentally stronger, you will do more because you will have made it a priority to flex your discipline muscle.

12. Do Health Testing 

I'm a big fan of being proactive with my health. A lot of diseases and sicknesses can be prevented if people do their research and get health testing. Every year I get my blood work checked.

Also, I do the following tests – gut microbiome, stool, micronutrients, bone density, heavy metal, and hormones. The sooner that I know what I am deficient in, the sooner that I can supplement or change my lifestyle to ensure that I am in optimal health.

Yes, there are some expenses to doing testing, but that comes with the upkeep of having a body. Your health is your wealth. Don't take it for granted and do make it a habit of getting tested.

13. Detox and Cleanse

I like to give my body a rest from the lifestyle choices that I make. All of us are under a lot of stress. Your body is working non-stop. Every time that you eat a meal your body has to digest it. This requires a tremendous amount of energy.

Your body is constantly trying to detoxify and eliminate through your bowels and urinary tract. A lot of times your body can't cleanse itself because you're putting in more toxicity than your body can eliminate. A juice fast or a water fast is a great way to give your digestive system a break.

14. Get A High-Quality Sleep 

A lot of people don't get enough sleep. In today's stress-induced world, sleep isn't a necessity. Rather, it's a priority. Sleep research suggests that 7-8 hours is what we need to wake up feeling refreshed. I'm a big proponent of having an evening ritual.

I have a few devices that help me fall asleep, one of which is a chili pad. This is a pad that regulates the temperate of your mattress so that you will never be too hot or too cold, thereby allowing you to have a deeper sleep.

I also like to wear Swannies blue-blocking glasses before I go to bed. These glasses help to block out blue light and help my brain to release melatonin which ensures I get high-quality sleep.

Lastly, I lay on a PEMF mat that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields around my body. This mat programs my body towards deep sleep.

15. Rest and Recover

If you don't take time to rest and recover, you will burn out. Stress is the worst thing for your health and well-being. Have a rest day every week or every month. Or maybe find a time where you can take one to two weeks off with a vacation.

Disconnect from everything. It allows you to get perspective on your life. As an overachiever, I'm always on the go. It's my nature. It is hard for me to take days off. However, over the years I've learned how important it is.

I'm OK with making less money for a specific period if it means that I can get refocused and re-energized. If I don't take care of myself, everyone suffers – myself, my team, my followers, and my business. Rest now leads to more success in the long term.

16. Develop Your Traits or Skills 

You want to cultivate the habit of working on some aspect of yourself that can benefit your career or business.

Each of us has a money-making skill. What is yours? Discover what that is and master it. By cultivating this skill, over time it will help you develop your competence which will give you more confidence.

17. Manage Your Finances

All successful people are good with their money because they focus on it consistently. It's best to start cultivating this habit when you don't have a lot of money because it will benefit you down the road when you have more money.

Also, make sure that you get into the habit of saving money. Put 10% of what you make into a savings account for emergency or use that money to invest in your future or yourself. If you can save more than 10%, amazing.

18. Invest

You need to learn how to be an owner, not just a consumer. Most people only consume products. These are liabilities rather than assets. Conversely, an investor invests in assets that appreciate and grow in value over time.

Make it a priority to invest in yourself, your business, or the stock market every single month. Be proactive about your future and create a financial plan. Make sure that your finances are always growing so that you can comfortably retire.

19. Socialize and Network 

We are social creatures. Socializing does amazing things for our mental and emotional well-being. As humans, we can't survive without it. Lack of connection can lead to things like isolation, depression, and anxiety.

Socializing allows you to sharpen your communication skills. Networking is a very important success skill. It allows you to build rapport with like-minded people who are doing great things in this world.

Having an empowering ecosystem will do wonders for your life. Make it a priority to meet new people you are in alignment with. Also, put yourself in proximity with successful people and learn from them. You are the 5 people you spend the most time with — make your 5 people the best group possible!

20. Give and Contribute

You want to strive to be a go-giver, not a go-getter. The act of giving to others does amazing things for you. Contribution makes you feel more connected to humanity. Moreover, it makes you more compassionate to others' experiences.

When you give selflessly you are training your brain to be abundant. You are caring about someone else, with no expectation of receiving anything in return. The fulfillment that comes from that is indescribable.

In the words of my mentor, Tony Robbins, “It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.”

21. Practice Your Faith 

This means different things to different people. Whatever you're fearful of is just your imagination that is undirected. Conversely, faith is your imagination directed. To live a great life requires faith and believing that things will get better.

That is what allows you to get through the hardest of times. I believe that there is a purpose for everything. Whatever you believe in, practice it daily.

There's a lot of things in life that are out of your control. However, if you surrender and trust that the Universe has a bigger plan for you, you'll experience so much more peace in your life.

These are 21 habits for health, wealth & happiness. 

Please don't feel that you have to implement all of these habits into your daily routine. Of the 21 habits that I talked about, what is one habit that you feel can enrich your life?

How often are you going to practice this habit? Daily, weekly or monthly? Focus on cultivating one habit and mastering it. You can build more over time. I challenge you to take action and do a 30-day challenge!

When you change your habits, you change your life. When you change your life, anything is possible.

Do you truly know how to love yourself unconditionally? 

Love is the greatest force in the Universe. It is what we all yearn for. However, a lot of people find it easier to love others than to love themselves.

Being in a relationship and sharing your life with someone that you love is a beautiful feeling.

However, your relationship with yourself will always be the most important relationship of your life.

In the words of R.H. Sin, “Sometimes your soulmate is yourself. You have to be the love of your life until you discover that kind of love in someone else.”

If you're ready to cultivate a deep appreciation for all aspects of yourself, keep reading…

What did your parents teach you about love? 

Your parent(s) and/or caretaker was the first relationship that you ever had. It set the tone for everything that you experienced in life.

Self-love is the greatest gift that parents can give their children. Ultimately, the goal of every parent should be giving children the means to know, learn and experience success and happiness. Self-love is at the root of those traits.

However, when one or both parents do not value self-love or neglect their children in some way, a child learns that love isn't safe. Even worse, a child may create the belief that he or she is not worthy of love.

Lack of parental involvement in childhood can negatively affect a child's self-esteem and create a breeding ground for an unstable self-concept in adulthood. Oftentimes, this is why adults become people-pleasers and spend their lives doing things to gain approval or validation from others.

Recently I was coaching someone who struggles with self-love. They feel as if they aren't worthy or deserving of anything. As a result, they don't feel like they can fully receive love. I want you to take a moment and reflect upon a person in your life that you love unconditionally.

What would you do for that person? Probably anything, right?

Now, I want you to think about how often you show up for yourself in the same way that you show up for this person you love. The best way to truly love yourself is to value the relationship that you have with yourself above all else. Research shows self-acceptance is the key to a happier life, but it’s also the habit many people practice the least.

I believe that everyone should have a self-love ritual that they practice daily.

If you don't love yourself, you won't have any love to give to others. If you don't take the time to fill your cup up, it is impossible to show up for others. This is a recipe for feeling drained and undervalued.

Alternatively, when you fully embrace all aspects of yourself, your relationships with others deepen and are rooted in mutual love, understanding, and respect.

Eckhart Tolle believes that each person has two parts – a human and a being. Thus, we are human beings. Your conditioning, comprised of your personality, beliefs, and values belongs to the human dimension. Your being is your heart and soul; it is consciousness.

In the words of Eckhart, “Human is form. Being is formless. Human and Being are not separate but interwoven.”

It's useful to be able to separate the two. For example, you can feel guilty and have shame around some of your behaviors, but please understand that you are NOT your behavior. Your behavior doesn't define you. If you want to deepen your sense of self-love, I encourage you to start connecting with your being side.

It's all about learning how to be in the present moment with yourself, whether that's meditating, praying, journaling, reciting affirmations, or doing mirror work. If you have never done mirror work, I highly recommend reading Louise Hay's book, Mirror Work: 21 Days To Heal Your Life.

In her book, Louise talks about her Mirror Principle, which holds that our experience of life mirrors our relationship with ourselves; unless we see ourselves as loveable, the world can be a dark and lonely place. When you engage in self-love rituals, over time your self-esteem increases and you live a more joyous and fulfilling life.

This is how to love yourself unconditionally. 

You are worthy of love and belonging. You wouldn't exist on this planet if you didn't. Make it a habit to show yourself love every single day. Be in awe of your existence because you are a gift to this world simply by being you.

Did you know that exposure to electromagnetic fields can affect your health?

Recently, I hired Jason Masek from Benchmark Environmental to check for electromagnetic radiation inside of the new vacation home we just bought. The consultation was eye-opening!

Jason is a Building Biology Environmental Consultant and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) specialist.

In this blog, Jason brings awareness to how EMFs can negatively affect your health and offers some suggestions as to what you can do to protect yourself.

If you want to reduce exposure to EMFs inside your home, listen to Jason!

Watch the video below:

(Click here to watch on YouTube)

Watch the video above to see how Jason measures the electromagnetic activity in my home and gives me tips on how I can optimize my health!

EMFs are virtually everywhere.

An electromagnetic field (EMF) is an area of moving electrical charges. We are exposed to EMFs through power lines, cellphones, computers, wireless routers, and microwaves to name a few things. While some EMFs are not damaging to human health, some can be very harmful.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people are aware of the health risks that come with EMF exposure. This is why I'm grateful that I was able to interview Jason Masek about how EMFs work and learn about some simple ways that you can protect yourself from EMF radiation. On that note, let's dive in!

Do you mind sharing with people how you got into this field?

I got into this field because I got sick from EMFs. At the time, I was a home automation specialist. Essentially, I worked in large homes designing and installing elaborate automation systems. Unfortunately, I ended up getting Lyme disease and I crashed.

While I didn't know the root cause of my sickness at the time, I did know that I always felt sick when I was working on site. When I left, I would instantly feel better.

I learned about building biology while I was traveling in Germany. Eventually, I attended school in the U.S. at the International Institute For Building Biology and Ecology.

During this time I was dealing with my Lyme disease and co-infections.

Thankfully, I got better. For those of you who are electrically sensitive or have an autoimmune issue, please know that there is help available. In the field of biology, electromagnetic fields are considered a large slice of the pie, in terms of what you can do to get your health back.

However, you still need to do things like exercise, breathe clean air, and adopt a holistic lifestyle. EMF isn't the main culprit, especially when I was sick. However, once I removed that issue it gave me space to get healthy again.

What are some of the common symptoms of EMF exposure?

The initial symptom is anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, in addition to headaches and dry eyes. We are finding that younger people are experiencing tinnitus, which is a ringing of the ears.

These symptoms stem from oxidated stress. EMFs penetrate our body and we absorb some of them. It tells our system that we are supposed to be stressed out, but we aren't. This message confuses our biology.

What are some of the common electromagnetic measurements that you see inside someone's bedroom? 

We want to make the bedroom feel safe. In building biology, we call it a sleep sanctuary. That means that not only are EMFs gone or low, but everything in the room is making you feel relaxed.

A cell phone and a cell phone charger emit EMFs, both of which people usually have in their bedroom, especially before falling asleep.

Even if you turn over and check what time it is on your phone, there's a huge EMF density pulse that is connecting to the Wi-Fi. You're absorbing that. Putting your phone on autopilot will help, but there is still an EMF present called light.

Artificial light from your phone will affect your ability to fall asleep.

Bright light reduces our melatonin, which impacts our ability to sleep. Ideally, it's best if you can keep your cell phone outside of your bedroom. You don't want to have any electricity close to you while you sleep.

To replace the alarm on your phone, I suggest getting an old-school battery-powered clock radio. As part of my EMF assessment consultation, I create a customized sleep sanctuary plan for each of my clients that best suits their lifestyle.

What can people do to protect themselves if they live near a radio tower or if there is wiring hidden within the walls of their home?

When it comes to the electricity in your home, it's a good idea to turn it off altogether on a breaker panel. That being said, I would suggest that you hire a professional to do this for you because certain breakers have different circuits moving around.

The next level is shielding.

This involves putting shielding around the space that captures or reflects the EMFs. Bed canopies are great for this. However, the concern with shielding is that we are adding metal to the space. If you use a bed canopy, you want to make sure that the electricity in the bedroom is under control.

How can the chemicals inside your mattress/bedding negatively affect your health?

These chemicals are known as volatile organic compounds. It's like saying, “bacteria”. There are good VOCs and bad VOCs. Bad VOCs are from industrial chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene. These chemicals are really bad for our health.

You want to avoid a foam mattress that is made from polyurethane. This is any mattress that has the word poly in it. Stick with latex at all costs. The healthier the mattress, the healthier the sleep you'll get.

This is how electromagnetic fields can affect your health.

I hope some of the home optimization tips that Jason suggested give you some peace of mind as to how you can protect your health.

I did a green juice cleanse for 10 days and the results were powerful.

My body was telling me that it needed some time to rest, recover, and detoxify. I listened. Why? Because my health is my top priority.

I know that nothing else in my life will work unless I feel good in my mind and body. By removing and eliminating toxins, your body can help protect you from disease and replenish your ability to cultivate optimum health.

As an entrepreneur, I can't afford to feel unwell. If I want to be successful, I need to be in an optimal state. I feel so energized since finishing my green juice cleanse.

By sharing the results and benefits of my 10-day green juice cleanse, I hope that it will give you the motivation that you need to upgrade your health! Let's dive in…

When was the last time that you did a cleanse?

The quality of your life is a reflection of your standards. If you're tired all of the time, feel moody, or are falling sick way too often, it's highly likely that your body is due for a reset. I, like so many other people, live a very busy lifestyle. The pressures and demands from the outside world can take a huge toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Stress and negative emotions compromise your entire immune system, from your brain to your liver to your kidney. This is what produces acidity in the body. Recent research shows that stress is associated with changes in gut bacteria which in turn can influence mood. On top of this, many people live toxic lifestyles, from the air that they breathe to the food that they eat.

Not surprisingly, toxicity provides a perfect breeding ground for diseases. There are a lot of things that are happening inside of your body that you can't see or notice, whether it's inflammation, an infection, or candida. Your body is always working hard, without any vacations. It's looking out for you, 24/7. This is why it's important that you do your part and allow your body to have a break.

When it comes to juicing, I was originally inspired to do a 15-day juice fast after I watched an award-winning documentary called, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. The creator of the documentary is an Australian man by the name of Joe Cross. In his documentary, he shares his journey from being obese and sick with an autoimmune disorder, to being healthy and fit. What did he do?

A 60-day juice fast.

He decided to change his body and take control of his health. He realized that his lifestyle was negatively affecting his health. The medical system could no longer solve the root cause of his health issues. Instead, they wanted to prescribe him drugs to treat his symptoms. In short, the medical system doesn't always have our best interests at heart. This is why a lot of people end up turning to holistic medicine.

Joe traveled from Australia to the U.S. where he worked with naturopathic doctors to get his life back. The result is incredible. Not only did he lose 50 pounds in 60 days, but he was also able to get off of his medication and get his autoimmune disorder under control. Amazing, hey?

Five years after the release of his first documentary, Joe came out with a second documentary called, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead 2 where he talked about how to make healthy habits stick. If you love to read, I highly recommend reading his book, Reboot with Joe as well. Inside, he provides amazing tools, recipes, diets, and words of encouragement for how you can reboot your health.

At the time of watching Joe's documentary, I didn't have any major health issues. However, when it comes to my health, I always take a preventative approach. I want to avoid getting sick at all costs. This is why, every year, I allow my digestive system to have a break from constantly trying to digest the foods that I'm putting into it.

Tatiana and I are currently back in Vancouver, Canada visiting family. We had to quarantine for 14 days when we landed, so we decided that this was a great opportunity to do a green juice cleanse for 10 days. Vancouver is a very health-conscious city, so we bought cold-pressed raw and organic green juices from a juice bar.

Alternatively, you can juice your greens using a juicer.

If you are interested in purchasing one, I recommend the Omega Juicer. When you are doing a juice cleanse you want to focus on consuming greens and vegetables. The reason being is that green plants have chlorophyll which is similar to the hemoglobin in our blood. I try to avoid a lot of fruit or sugar when juicing because sugar can feed yeast and candida in your colon.

If you struggle with drinking green juices, try adding lemon or ginger. This is a great way to add flavor to your juices. If you want, you can even add some apple or pineapple, but make sure that you don't overconsume fruits. We drank 6 juices every day. You feel hungry for the first few days, but after that, your body turns off hunger. When your body isn't getting food, it uses stored energy, which is your body fat.

During the first few days when you're detoxing, you will feel tired and sluggish. You may even experience skin flare-ups or digestive issues. The reason why this happens is that your body is eliminating toxicity. What I love most about a green juice cleanse is the explosion of energy that you experience once the withdrawal symptoms subside. This takes a few days.

Not only will you lose weight juice cleansing, but it can also improve your skin and gut health and reduce inflammation. During a cleanse, I don't do a lot of stressful activities. Rather, I do simple and relaxing things, like going for walks, getting sunlight, meditating, and stretching.

I also like to do a liver and gallbladder flush at the same time I'm doing my green juice cleanse.

Back in 2015, I did my first liver cleanse & gallbladder flush where I flushed out hundreds of gallstones from my liver and gallbladder. This cleanse is based on the knowledge of Andreas Moritz who wrote the book, The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush. If you want to learn more about what causes gallstones in the liver and gallbladder and how you can remove gallstones painlessly, I highly recommend reading it.

Let me break down what a liver and gallbladder flush looks like. For five days, you consume malic acid which is found in apple juice or apple cider vinegar. Over time, this softens the gallstones and makes it easier for you to pass them. On the day of your liver flush, you consume Epson salts with water which helps cleanse the colon.

From there, you take half a cup of olive oil and lemon juice and then lie down immediately. This will cause your gallbladder to flush out the gallstones. When you wake up in the morning, you have a bowel movement and will notice the gallstones being passed. If you are open to alternative solutions to health and well-being, I recommend trying this. I never promote anything that hasn't drastically benefitted my life.

This is what happened when I drank green juice for 10 days.

The results have been profound. My body is cleansed and my mind is clear. In this state, I feel unstoppable once again! I encourage you to give your body the gift of cleansing. In the words of Robert Urich, “A healthy outside starts from the inside.”

Are you protecting your immune system right now?

If you follow me, you know that I am a big believer in morning rituals. My routine sets me up to win every single day. At their core, rituals are designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. If you want to have optimal health, it is imperative that you carve out some time each day to take care of yourself. If you don't practice self-care, it leaves more room for stress and anxiety to take over, which puts your immune system at risk.

Currently, there are a lot of people who are worried about the Coronavirus. They have a valid reason to be. Authorities in 167 countries and territories have reported more than 300,000 novel coronavirus cases worldwide since China reported its first cases in December. That number is growing exponentially every day.

One of the most important things that you can do during these difficult times is to take amazing care of your health and physical well-being. This will help give you more peace of mind. More importantly, in the event that you do get the virus, boosting your immune system will ensure that you are able to fight off the virus quicker.

Coronavirus is a bigger threat to some more than others. At-risk groups include those who have medical conditions, like heart disease or lung disease, those who smoke, and the elderly. These people really need to make sure that they are going above and beyond to take care of themselves.

On top of taking supplements, it's also important that you have good hygiene. This means washing your hands, not touching your eyes and face, and practicing social distancing. These are precautions that all of us should be taking to prevent the spread of the virus. It's also important that you get a high-quality amount of deep sleep, drink a lot of water, exercise, and have a healthy diet. 

Those of you who follow me know that my health is my top priority. Every day I engage in a morning ritual to ensure that I keep my mind, body and soul strong. I want to share with you 7 supplements that I'm taking to boost my immune system.

Colloidal Silver

I take these drops 3 times per day. It's a great liquid for boosting the immune system and reducing inflammation. However, it does kill off bacteria so I don't overdo it. Potentially, it could affect the microbiome balance in your gut so be mindful of not taking too much.

P3-OM Probiotics

This product is made by one of my favorite supplement companies, Bioptimizer. I've been taking this supplement for years. Probiotics are really important for your gut health. Not only does this product protect your immune system, but it is also anti-viral, meaning that it prevents you from getting sick. I take 3 pills every night before I fall asleep.

Echinacea

This is a great herb for fighting off the common cold and flu. It is believed that echinacea stimulates the immune system, which means that it will help your body fight off infection.

Kyolic

This is an odorless garlic extract. Garlic is a great supplement for supporting your digestive and immune system, and for detoxifying the body.

Elderberry Extract

Elderberry is a superfood berry that is really good for your immune system. It helps prevent cold and flu symptoms.

Turkey Tail

This is a type of medicinal mushroom with a range of health benefits. Turkey tail is a prebiotic for the microbiome. Prebiotics with fiber help support probiotics, which is the good bacteria in your gut. In turn, this positively supports your immunity.

Electric Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is great for immune system recovery. You can also get Vitamin C from a lot of vegetables and fruits. I suggest you do this first, and then supplement with a vitamin for extra immune system protection.

These are 7 supplements to boost your immune system.

Eventually, health supplements are going to go out of stock. Be proactive and order a few months' worth, in the event that the Coronavirus pandemic continues.

You only have one body. The more that you take care of your health, the more that you get out of life. A morning ritual is one of the most important things that you can do to live a happy, healthy and balanced life. Wake up every day and make your physical, mental and emotional well-being a priority. Your body will thank you for it.

Should you be worried about the Coronavirus?

This is a valid question to ask, especially given the fact that the Coronavirus is negatively impacting so many people's lives.

Globally, the number of cases and deaths related to Coronavirus are growing exponentially every day.

While I don't want to create unnecessary worry for you, I believe that you cannot be naive about a potential threat that could affect your life.

You should always expect the best, but plan and prepare for the worst.

Do you want to know what I am doing from a financial, business and health perspective to prepare for the Coronavirus?

Coronavirus is negatively affecting my life.

Everything from my travel schedule to my business to my investments have taken a hit. However, it's important that you understand that the media likes to blow things out of proportion. Their job is to create fear and uncertainty in people. This is what gets attention and what, ultimately, incites you to watch their videos. In turn, they make more money.

The fear pandemic surrounding the Coronavirus is driving market sell-offs and other doomsday-is-here behaviors around the world, causing a form of mass hysteria. It's highly likely that the media is making the Coronavirus bigger than it actually is.

In the event that things do get worse, I want to make sure that I have a plan in place to protect myself in the following three areas of my life.

Finances

If you're an investor like myself, you may have noticed that the markets have been volatile as of late. In particular, the S&P 500 has experienced a 10-20% drop. If the market drops beyond 20%, it could trigger a recession. If this happens, the global economy will be affected.

Even though my investment portfolio has taken a huge hit this last week, I see it as a good thing. Why? Because it affords me the opportunity to buy more of the great companies that I love and believe in at a discounted price. Because I am a long-term investor, I know that I have time on my side. I can buy and hold, as long as I don't sell when my investments drop.

Warren Buffett once said that as an investor, you want to be “Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” I believe that you can make a lot of money when there is a lot of pessimism in the market. When people are afraid, they sell their investments, which, in turn, drives down the prices.

I suggest that you plan to have 3-6 months worth of emergency money, in the event that the Coronavirus gets worse and affects your business or your job.

Business

Most Amazon sellers haven't been too affected by the Coronavirus. Nonetheless, you want to talk to your suppliers and prepare for the worst. If people can't work in their factories and manufacture your products, your business will be negatively affected.

This is why I suggest finding a backup supplier in a different country, like India or Vietnam. One great benefit of having an online business during a crisis like this is the ability to work from home. If I needed to, I could stay at home for months on end and I would be okay.

I have the freedom to change my location whenever I want. However, if your financial stability is based on a 9-to-5 job and going to a physical workspace every day, you are exposing yourself to more risk.

Health and Physical Well-being

When it comes to your health, the most important thing that you can do is to take care of your immune system. From what we know, Coronavirus has been affecting those who have a weak immune system or those who are elderly. You can always control what you put into your body.

Now is the time to make sure that you are eating healthy. More importantly, you don't want to live in fear or scarcity because that will also negatively affect your emotional well-being. As of late, I've been stocking up on a lot of supplements. In particular, ones that can help with viral or respiratory infections.

The three foods that help me when I'm sick or when I'm wanting to prevent myself from getting sick are ginger, onions, and garlic. In terms of supplements, Vitamin C is great to take, as are probiotics, multi-vitamins, and colloidal silver.

This is how I'm preparing for the Coronavirus.

At the end of the day, none of us can control what happens in our external world. However, we always have control over our mental, emotional and physical well-being. I don't live in fear of the Coronavirus. However, I believe that educating yourself about the potential effects of the virus is a smart thing to do.

I pray that the medical field is able to create a vaccine soon that prevents the spread and/or cures the virus altogether. However, until then, the best course of action is to expect the best, yet prepare for the worst.

What actions will you take to prepare for the Coronavirus?

When you change your rituals, you change your life.

We all have unhealthy habits and behaviors that we indulge in from time to time. They seem harmless.

However, when these habits become the norm, they quickly erode your potential.

If you want to live a happy and fulfilling life, you have to break free from your bad habits and replace them with more empowering ones.

How you start your morning sets the tone for your day.

When you woke up today, what is the first thing that you did? Did you immediately check your email, while drinking a coffee and eating a sugary danish before rushing out the door for work? Or did you wake up early, meditate, and eat a healthy breakfast before a morning workout?

No matter which path you chose, it's important to understand that the majority of the choices that we make each day are habits. By nature, we are creatures of habit. Research shows that habits emerge because the brain is constantly looking for ways to save effort.

Hence, we create habits so that we can focus our attention on tasks that require more of our mental and emotional energy. Over time, habits become rituals, meaning that a purpose is attached to our behaviors. Unfortunately, bad habits only serve to disempower you. They drag you down and destroy your happiness.

So, the question remains, “How can you identify whether a habit is disempowering or empowering your life?” Reflect upon how you feel after you indulge in a behavior. If it leaves you feeling flat, uninspired and lacking in self-esteem, you know that it's not serving your highest self.  Sometimes it's not until you experience so much inner pain and turmoil that you feel empowered to take action and change your life.

The first step towards changing anything in your life is self-awareness.

It's one of the most valuable character traits that you can have. A lot of people have blind spots, meaning that they have no idea how their behaviors are negatively impacting their happiness. In short, they don't want to admit that they have a problem. Instead, they distract themselves with disempowering habits to numb the pain that they feel. I'm here to tell you that there is nothing on the outside that will fix what is happening inside. Happiness is an inside job.

How do we change this story? One of the most effective ways that I've been able to change my life is by creating a powerful morning ritual. It is an act of self-love in and of itself. When you spend time every morning nourishing your mind, body, and soul, you are better able to step out into the world and serve others.

More importantly, you will feel a sense of joy, gratitude, and aliveness that is unexplainable. In this state, there is no challenge that will steer you off track because your willpower will be at an all-time high.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham reviewed 83 different studies on self-control and discovered humans have a finite amount of self-control. Shortly after waking up for the day, self-control is at its greatest, and this ability slowly depletes as the day unfolds. Therefore, it is important to take advantage of the energy that you have in the morning.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a morning ritual. Choose rituals that work best for you and your life. If you can commit to spending just 15 minutes or more each morning nourishing yourself, not only will you set yourself up to win, but over time, you will start to radically transform every area of your life.

Change your rituals. Change your life.

Make yourself a priority. Give yourself the gift of time because you are worthy and deserving of it. If you can commit to a daily morning routine, I promise that you will have a successful and happy life.

Body transformation is something that I am very familiar with.

At another stage of my life, I was really overweight and developed a binge eating disorder.

Your body is a temple.

This is why it's so important that you take care of it. It's the only place that you have to live. I've always been passionate about health and fitness. Back in 2012 and 2014, I competed in fitness competitions. As you can imagine, there was a lot of training involved. During that time, I was hands down, in the best shape of my life.

However, my transformation was deeper than just how I looked on the outside. The real transformation that I experienced was on the inside. I gained so much more confidence and self-esteem and I developed an unwavering amount of willpower and self-discipline.

The beautiful thing about these character traits is that they can be transferred to every area of your life. Lastly, I developed so much energy, vitality, and radiance. However, I experienced a lot of challenges along the way.

I want to share with you my journey with health and fitness.

I got into fitness when I was 18 years old because I was insecure about myself and my body. I believed that by being “bigger” I would attract more women into my life and gain more respect from other men. The irony is that having bigger biceps doesn't necessarily make you a more attractive person. What makes you attractive to others is the personal power and confidence that you gain from taking care of your body.

I started lifting weights. At this stage of my life, my goal was to build muscle. Hence, I was eating everything that I possibly could. I would consume 1,000 calorie protein shakes every day. The challenge that I faced was that I had a very fast metabolism. I knew a lot about fitness, but unfortunately, I didn't know anything about health. By consuming enough calories and working out a lot, I was able to get bigger.

Unfortunately, I ended up gaining a lot of fat in the process. I was 180 pounds. Luckily, I was able to convert my pain into motivation and it drove me to change my body. But that was only for the short-term. My motivation soon dwindled. I soon learned that the only thing that makes motivation sustainable is when you associate pleasure to the process of eating healthy and working out.

In 2012, I wanted to take my fitness to the next level, so I decided to hire a life coach.

He told me that if I really wanted to transform my body, I had to enter a fitness competition which would motivate me to train for six months. He believed that this is what would hold me personally accountable for following through with my health goals. I didn't care about winning a trophy. It was the person whom I was going to become along the way that mattered most. In my eyes, that was going to be my ultimate form of accomplishment.

I was able to accomplish my goal, but it was a huge sacrifice to my health. Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't realize it because I didn't understand the principles of health. I was depriving myself of so many calories that I ended up developing a binge eating disorder. On a given day, I was consuming 10,000 calories.

I was constantly trying to bounce back with cardio and weightlifting. It was a toxic cycle. Luckily, I was able to overcome this disorder. In 2014, I competed in a second fitness competition but did it in a more healthy way.

Today, fitness is still very important to me, but health trumps everything. My focus is on having strength, energy and endurance. I believe that energy is the ultimate advantage of life. You can do this through the foods that you eat and how you train and exercise.

Here is my workout routine & mindset.

I weightlift for five days per week. It's great for sculpting my body. On Monday I do chest, on Tuesday I do back, on Wednesday I do shoulders, on Thursday I do arms, and on Friday I do legs. On the weekends I rest or repeat the process.

My workout sessions are 45 minutes to one hour in length. I do six exercises, four body parts, and four-sets per exercise. My rep range is 8-12. If I really want to tone out my muscles and be in a more fat-burning zone, I take a lower rest time between my sets.

The challenge with weight training is that you build a lot of acid in your body and you can tear a lot of your muscle fibers. The consequence is that you are robbed of energy. Hence, you end up needing more sleep and you may feel more sluggish throughout the day. Lastly, weight training will inhibit your flexibility.

This is why I like to balance weightlifting with activities that give me energy. Hence, this is why my diet is very important to me. I eat a lot of live and alkalizing food which helps to clear out the acid from my body. In terms of liquids, I drink 1-2 cold pressed organic green juices every day and a lot of ionized water.

I also enjoy doing aerobic-related exercise, like jogging 3 times per week. This type of exercise increases my oxygen capacity, which gives me the energy that I need in order to crush it every single day.

A great health hack that I've been doing is intermittent fasting.

When I fast, I do it for 14-16 hours.

By doing this, your body burns off fat. You end up consuming fewer calories because you're eating fewer meals throughout the day. Fasting has been shown to improve biomarkers of disease, reduce oxidative stress and preserve learning and memory functioning. I fast certain times throughout the year. I'm a big believer in shocking the body so that it is able to adapt. Fasting gives me an insane amount of energy.

I also love doing a ketogenic diet at certain times throughout the year. I do this when I want to train my body to burn fat for energy rather than carbohydrates. A lot of people are burning carbs as a source of fuel and energy. Burning fat is like burning coals, in that it's more sustainable. When you train your body to burn fat instead of carbs and you're using ketones, your body has more stable energy levels.

If you really want to change your body, there are certain belief systems that you need to adopt. Two of the top affirmations that I recite to myself on a daily basis are – “Nothing tastes as good as healthy and fit feels” and “I eat to fuel my body, not to satisfy an appetite.” If you're struggling to transform your body, get clear on what your reason is for doing so.

This is how to transform your body.

My workout routine and mindset set me up to win. I hope that my story has inspired you to optimize your health. My body is my temple. Every time that I exercise or eat healthily, I am telling myself that I love and respect my body. I encourage you to do the same. If you want to be unstoppable in every area of your life, your health needs to be your top priority.

Dave Asprey has built a biohacking movement.

However, he wasn't always the model of optimal health. His journey started under dire circumstances. After years of working in Silicon Valley as an investor and technology entrepreneur, Asprey's health rapidly declined. Eventually, he became obese, reaching 300 pounds.

It was at this point that he started hacking his body. He ended up losing over 100 pounds and drastically improved his physical, mental, and emotional health. Today, he is the author of a number of New York Times best-selling books, the creator of Bulletproof coffee and the Founder of Bulletproof Upgrade Labs.

I had the opportunity to interview Dave Asprey about how he built his biohacking movement. We talk about some of his favorite biohacks that will help you optimize your life. Let's dive in!

Do you mind sharing your story and how you started this biohacking movement?

I used to weigh 300 pounds and I had most of the diseases of aging in my 20s. On the same note, I also made $6 million dollars when I was 26 and lost all of it when I was 28.

It gave me the opportunity to say, “I'm done being fat and tired all of the time.”

The doctors didn't have anything to say that was useful to me, so I decided to hack my body. I spent $1 million dollars hacking my biology because I wanted to figure out how I could reverse my aging process. That's what I've been able to do for myself.

How did the Bulletproof coffee idea come about?

For twenty years I ran an anti-aging non-profit group in Silicon Valley. I was learning from people who were 2-3 times my age who were trying to figure out how to reverse the aging process. They didn't talk to the meditation people or the neuroscientists. As I was working on fixing my own stuff, I decided that I was going to go learn meditation from the masters.

One of the reasons why meditation is so cool today is because ten years ago, nobody would admit that they meditated. If you were an executive in Silicon Valley who said you did yoga and meditation, you would be considered to be an alien. I wanted to make meditation cool because I knew it worked; so I went to Tibet. While I was there, I visited Mount Kailash which is the holiest mountain in the world.

At 18,000 feet and 10,000 degrees below zero I felt horrible. A little Tibetan woman gave me a cup of yak butter tea. I drank it and instantly my brain turned on. It was amazing, so I went back to Silicon Valley and tried putting butter in my coffee. The taste was horrible so I started to experiment with different kinds of butter, teas, and coffees. Eventually, I found something that worked and designed Bulletproof coffee.

Then I created the term, biohacking and developed a movement around it. 

My intention was to get the anti-aging people on board – navy seals, bodybuilders, powerlifters, pro athletes, medical professionals, astronaut trainers, and neuroscientists – so that they would start talking about this movement. Last year, Miriam Webster added biohacking to the dictionary as a new word in the English language. Today, there are millions of people who identify themselves as biohackers.

What are some of the simplest biohacks for someone who is new to biohacking?

The key to biohacking is understanding that your body doesn't do a very good job of listening to you. Rather, it listens to the world around you and what it perceives to be threats. One of the things that chew up your energy throughout the day is thinking and obsessing about food.

What if you could do something so that after you finished a meal, you didn't think about food until the next meal. The voice inside of your head is unnecessary and hugely distracting. You want to notice how you feel after your first meal. If you're hungry after one hour of eating, you did it wrong, meaning that you ate something that caused inflammation inside of your body. You found a food that is incompatible with your system.

There is no universal diet for human beings.

The first simple biohacking rule is to stop eating the stuff that makes you weak. Inside of my book, The Bulletproof Diet: Lose Up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Life, I provide you with a free roadmap that shows you the proteins, fats, carbs, and vegetables that are safe for almost everybody.

I also provide a list of suspect foods. For a lot of people, these foods cause problems. Did you know that kale creates sugar cravings? Or that one-third of rheumatoid arthritis is caused by potatoes and tomatoes? I know this sounds crazy, but it's true.

The second biohack is related to sleep. I've been tracking my sleep for ten years with electronics. My favorite device that I use is called the Oura ring. Even if I only get 6 hours of sleep, I'm still getting deeper REM sleep than the average 20-year-old who gets 8 hours. Hence, my sleep efficiency is off the charts.

How you can biohack your sleep?

One of my favorite things I do to biohack my sleep is wearing TrueDark blue light filtering sunglasses. I wear them during the day. In the latter half of the day, blue light messes with your sleep. One hour before bed I switch to sleep glasses called TrueDark sunsets which allows me to double my deep sleep.

If you don't want to purchase these glasses, black out your windows.

Secondly, put a piece of electrical tape over every LED light in your room, especially the green, blue and yellow lights. Lastly, turn your thermostat down to 68 degrees. This sends a signal to your body that it's nighttime. That combination will have you waking up feeling like a new person.

What are some of your favorite technologies that have made the biggest impact on your life?

In terms of the simple and affordable stuff, there's an app called Sonic Sleep which plays a sound that blocks out noises in your sleep environment. I play this at night.

At Upgrade Labs we have something called The REDCharger. This is a red and infrared light bed that exposes your entire body to red and infrared LED light. It turns out that the cells in your skin are sensitive to certain wavelengths of red and infrared light. If you lie on this bed, it adds electrons into your body.

There is also something called pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.

The PEMF machine sends an electromagnetic frequency directly into the cells so that the cells can absorb it and start to function at their optimal level. It turns out that all of our willpower comes from the basic ability of our cells to convert food and air into energy. If you can do this better, you will get more electrons into your body, which will translate into more willpower. The more energy that you have means the better you will be to repair injuries and take care of the system that supports you.

What does your morning ritual consist of?

When you have kids, your morning ritual shifts a lot. Whenever you wake up to do something, they will sense it and also wake up.

I wake up with my phone on airplane mode and I take a handful of supplements on an empty stomach. From there, I make my Bulletproof coffee and sit down to eat breakfast with my family.

Shortly after that, I drive my kids to school.

When I drop them off, I take my phone off of airplane mode and see if there's anything urgent I need to attend to. At this point, I do 45 minutes of upgrade time, whether that's cryotherapy, meditation or PEMF therapy.

What is next for you?

I've got a new book called, Superhuman: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever. Inside the book you will learn what I'm doing in my life to ensure that I live until 180 years old. We know that people can live until at least 120 years of age.

They were able to do this without understanding how their bodies work. For twenty years I've been working with people to unlock the secrets of aging and they are actually doing it now!
