• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So yesterday I made a decision
• 0:32
  that we were going to talk about energy in the morning.
• 0:35
  And then I thought, you know what, I'm just going to make the
• 0:36
  whole week about this kind of stuff that helps people stay on
• 0:40
  track to have higher energy and to be able to, you know,
• 0:44
  maintain it. So today we're going to talk
• 0:48
  about nutrition. Yesterday I touched on it for
• 0:50
  the morning, but I really want to talk about.
• 0:53
  Nutrition overall, because I think that it's probably one of
• 0:57
  the things that I personally learned early on when I started
• 1:01
  to work for Tony Robbins and he is very much a nutrition based
• 1:05
  person talking all about what you should and should not eat.
• 1:08
  I learned it very early on and let me tell you, I had to be a
• 1:12
  convert. I used to eat.
• 1:14
  Captain Crunch and Root Loops and all kinds of stuff for
• 1:18
  breakfast. I was a sugar addict.
• 1:21
  There is no question about it. I still like sugar a lot.
• 1:25
  I still like chocolate a lot and chocolate is a go to for me.
• 1:29
  Whenever I feel like I am off, I would want a piece of chocolate.
• 1:34
  It's just kind of something that my body is programmed to do.
• 1:37
  Now the difference between then and now is that I make better
• 1:41
  choices. You know, I don't buy things
• 1:43
  that have artificial ingredients in them.
• 1:45
  I am pretty much if it's I'm purchasing it and I'm not in a
• 1:49
  restaurant, it's going to be organic or I'm not going to buy
• 1:51
  it. I know that sounds crazy, but I
• 1:54
  just do not want the chemicals in my body.
• 1:57
  And I also know that the sugar, having high take intake of sugar
• 2:01
  just will cause you to have mental fog.
• 2:03
  And I don't have time to have mental fog in the job that I do.
• 2:07
  So if you are experiencing mental fog, nutrition is a great
• 2:11
  way to get out of it. And I have a regular listener
• 2:14
  who happens to be a client of mine as well and loves Mountain
• 2:19
  Dew. And I will say, as I know he's
• 2:24
  listening, I hope to God you don't have a Mountain Dew with
• 2:27
  you right now because that would be the wrong choice.
• 2:30
  And that's not fueling you up because it's just filled with
• 2:33
  artificial ingredients and it's not helpful.
• 2:37
  So first and foremost it's looking at your day and setting
• 2:40
  yourself up to win. So, so many of us make choices
• 2:43
  that are on the on the turn like we're just quick and we're like,
• 2:46
  all right, I'm out, just let me jump in here.
• 2:48
  I'll run in here and I'll grab something quick.
• 2:51
  And that quick choice, those words, let me grab something
• 2:54
  quick. If you hear yourself saying let
• 2:55
  me grab something quick, you're probably screwed because the
• 2:58
  moment you go to grab something quick it's not going to be the
• 3:01
  healthiest of choices. It's going to be an unhealthy
• 3:04
  choice and. It is a profoundly difficult
• 3:08
  thing to do in our society because anything quick tends to
• 3:12
  be it's like you, you run in and it's just processed, packaged,
• 3:18
  shelf, stable and toxic for your body.
• 3:21
  So those are the kind of things to think about if it's
• 3:24
  processed, if it's shelf safe, if it's packaged up and it's
• 3:29
  sealed up like that. There is a very good chance,
• 3:32
  unless it says the word organic on it, that it has shelf stable
• 3:37
  ingredients in it that are not healthy for your body.
• 3:39
  Your body just doesn't know what to do with them.
• 3:42
  And if you are struggling with trying to figure out exactly
• 3:46
  like what I should keep and what I should get rid of, I tend to
• 3:50
  have this rule in my head that says, well, listen, if nature
• 3:53
  made it, if the universe made it, if God made it, then I can
• 3:56
  have it. And it's not going to kill me if
• 3:58
  I pay attention to it. Fruits, vegetables, you know,
• 4:02
  meats, grains, things like that. Yes, yes, fine.
• 4:07
  But don't go down this road. And again, everyone has their
• 4:10
  own dietary specific needs. This is not about.
• 4:13
  What to choose to eat so much as it is about Think about what
• 4:17
  you're choosing to eat. Make conscious food choices
• 4:20
  because your body needs you. Your body can't serve you if you
• 4:25
  don't serve your body, and you must make choices to fuel it up
• 4:29
  with better things. So my go to is always protein
• 4:33
  shakes. I'll make them.
• 4:34
  I have them in jars and in the refrigerator, so when I need
• 4:38
  them I run in and grab them. Now I have a lot of clients that
• 4:41
  are very mobile on the road. People all the time.
• 4:44
  And I will say, get yourself a cooler, have little ice packs,
• 4:47
  make your shake, put them in the jars, put them in the cooler.
• 4:50
  Pack them. They're in your car.
• 4:52
  All you do is shake them and drink them And not.
• 4:55
  And I'm not talking about buying the prepared ones like the
• 4:57
  insurers or any of those, because those are filled with
• 4:59
  chemicals too. And if you can't pronounce the
• 5:02
  ingredients, it should not be going in your body because it's
• 5:05
  not going to fuel you and it's not going to keep you healthy.
• 5:08
  And their goal is not to keep you healthy.
• 5:10
  Their goal is to sell their product at the cheapest.
• 5:13
  They possibly can. So you've got to look for the
• 5:16
  quality of items. And does that take some extra
• 5:19
  time? Yes.
• 5:20
  Is it worth it? Well, for me, I don't want to
• 5:23
  have brain fog. And I know that if I don't pay
• 5:25
  attention to this, I will have brain fog.
• 5:27
  And that's the worst thing. I cannot go in that place if I
• 5:31
  can't talk and I can't source out what people are telling me,
• 5:34
  I'm not good. And that's unacceptable.
• 5:37
  So if you think about your job and you think about the fact
• 5:39
  that you get brain fog sometimes.
• 5:41
  Nutrition is the 1st place to go look besides sleep.
• 5:45
  But nutrition boom. Is usually it OK my friends, go
• 5:49
  check out that diet. Make good choices today and I
• 5:51
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
