One Week To A More Energized You

Having energy (or not having energy) is a DIRECT reflection of your inner health. And unless you have a chronic illness, condition or infection, your daily diet and lifestyle choices are the two most important factors transcribing for this.

Healthier choices lead to better energy.

But remember: without a goal, plan of action AND consistency, creating new healthy habits that stick is like driving to Glasgow, Montana without a roadmap!

‘Taylored’ Approach to Better Energy in Just 7 Days:
(Instructions: start with day 1, then continue this habit and all others attained throughout the week until day 7)

DAY 1: increase water consumption - drink a 20 oz. glass of filtered water upon rising. Another 20 oz. glass mid-morning, 20 oz. glass in the afternoon and 20 oz. glass late afternoon. Drink between (rather than with) meals and stop by 7pm.

DAY 2: use light therapy - in the morning, get outside for a 15-20 minute walk (preferably before 9am) - allow the light to hit your eyes (no sunglasses). Then, as the sun sets at night, dim the lights in your home. Finally, cut off screens (TV, cell phone, iPad, computer) 1 hour before bed.

DAY 3: close the kitchen at (or before) 7pm - this is an easy (and metabolism-boosting) way to start Intermittent Fasting.

DAY 4: get to bed by 10pm - curl up with light reading material in a softly-lit, cool bedroom (65-70º F is ideal for sleeping). Pro Tip: keep that cell phone out of the bedroom.

DAY 5: eat a high-protein breakfast within 1 hour of rising - veg-heavy smoothies and egg dishes are a couple of my go-to’s. I’m also a fan of THESE bars if you’re running out of the door in the morning.

DAY 6: take a cold shower - start with a 20-second cold blast at the end of your cozy-warm shower and work up to a full minute of immersing yourself in as cold of water as you can tolerate. Use THIS video as a guide.

DAY 7: add up to 1 oz. dark chocolate at 3pm - seek out a bar that’s >70% cacao content, <7g sugar per serving and contains no soy lecithin.
