![I Tried Andrew Huberman's Morning Routine - [30 Days + Blood Tests]](/img/n.gif)
1. Put good things in your brain
2. Get light
3. After 1 -2 hrs Go for a walk or workout or lift weights
4. Have breakfast with protein
5. Dont kill testosterone with cologne and plugins
Many thanks for the great summary!
Thank you for this - seeing it helps to remember.
Hi Dr Mindy I having doing that morning routine,half hour before gym i drink my coffee with mct oil and wow what energy I have 45 minute work out I'm 67, my water bottle has Celtic salt in there,thank you for all tgd great advice,I fast as well ❤
I love to start my day with some time in the Bible
@kristinahill3708 - hallelujah 🙏
Yessss! Better than any workout, coffee, or breakfast. Fuel for the soul!
Me too! ❤
I love how there are so many people waking and starting their day with the word of God. ❤
Wake up, brew tea, read Bible, pray with husband.
💙
That's A Blessing 😊 God is so Good.
Wake up, make coffee, pray and read Bible. 👍
Beautiful ❤️😊
I really don’t know how people can do all of that in the morning?!
I get up, wash up, thanks to fasting don’t have to worry about preparing breakfast , drive 40 to 50 minutes to work (7:30 and 8:30 alternating start time) get home at either 5:30 or 6:30pm
When I get home just have time to change and straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner
Only get to sit down by 8:30 or 9pm exhausted!!
Not easy being a woman!
A few words, meal prep and crockpot
@@tericorominas2364And pressure cooker!! It's my go-to now
I often wonder the same! I've been trying to improve my health b/c I WFH. It's not that glorious, trust me, no communte time, but you WORK b/c they are always watching. Before WFH, I commuted to work 2 hours each way, sometimes more. Anyway, I've been on leave b/c of work related injuries and now I have time to do all of this, and sometimes I do not, but in average, who can do this and take care of others i.e kids, partner, home , etc. Seems like you need to be awake at 5am and going to bed at 11pmb in order to do all of this!
I was thinking the same thing 🤔
It seems our western life’s are built on such unhealthy habits. For me I commute 1.5hr work 12.5hrs. 🙄. It’s like a whole over haul needs to be done. And it does need to be done, or pay the consequences.
I thinking, for me how about I pop in my headphones and listen to this while doing morning routine instead of staying in bed for extra 15 mins, 😂. Utilize that cortisol!
Makes sense why it’s good to read the Bible in the morning first thing you wake up!
🙏💙
Love doing my Bible study first thing!❤
First thing that came to me
‘Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.’ Lamentations 3:23 🥳
I tried for a month to work out in the morning and I just can't. I get a good workout daily around 4pm and that works great for me. 🎉
I can't, either. I do better in the afternoon.
Same...i could only get my ass moving frok 7pm onwards 🤦🏻♀️
@@stephyap222 🤣
@cristywyndham-shaw5111 I can force myself to do Zumba dancing in the morning. (There's an app for that). After that I feel better and weight training also seems to have more benefits in the afternoon around 5 PM.
@ROSESnROT music will help me to generate energy in the morning
I wake up, take my morning med, go to the bathroom (brush teeth, wash face, etc), make my bed, read for about 10-20min, workout (30min weights + 45min treadmill), check my emails, then have my coffee and light breakfast. Then, I start my work day.
I used to have a hard time working out in the mornings. Now, I prefer mornings to get it out of the way.
🙌
Great idea. Inspiring. Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
Same here. I love working out in the morning after my morning prayer. I hit the gym from time to time between 5:30 and 6 am. Better in the morning rather than in the evening after work exhausted, ready to go to sleep.
Great info!
Proverbs 4:23-26
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and steadfast in all your ways.
I am past 75 yrs. , astonished by how quickly my muscles respond to exercising in the morning testosterone window. I do the 5 Tibetan Rites (yoga) and other Tai Ch'i related exercise. If I can break the habit of coffee first thing, I know the excess fat will fall away. Intermittent fasting is a superb practice. Thanks for all your great work, Dr. Mindy!
I get up at 6 a.m. (my 2 cats are calling me), feed the cats, and drink water. I go to my apartments balcony to water the plants and see the morning light. Around 7 a.m. I do my home workout for 20 minutes (sometimes more sometimes less). It includes, in different days, stretching, muscle strength, weight lifting (just 5 to 8 kg), and other body movements. I shower and dress, and then I take my breakfast around 8 a.m. Then I'm ready to my comute to the train station (10 minutes). I'm 54 and do national archery competitions (I'm not a professional). 🎯
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
🔥
Sounds lovely! 💙
5 to 8 kg weight lifting at age 54? You are amazing sis! Well done 🎉
Wake up, stretch/workout, pray & read bible, journal, light breakfast
🙌💙
I’m up at 430. First I let the dog out, start the coffee and take my meds. I do about a 15 min stretch and train workout (nothing too intense, just gets the blood flowing) then head upstairs to get me and the 4 kiddos ready for the day. After working an 8 hour day I pick up the kids, head home, fix everyone’s dinner and try to squeeze in some weights before showering. I have noticed a huge difference in my weight loss post baby four compaired to the others and I contribute it to 3 things-
Fasting like a girl 😊
Working out in the morning
And completely cut out alcohol
I’m healthier at 41 post baby four than I was in my 20s before kids. Thanks Dr Mindy, much love and appreciation
I try to make some herbal tea after about 30 min and sit outside with my Bible. Eat 2-4 hours usually after getting up. Do major chores in morning. Workout in afternoon
My first is TIME w Jesus
I have been getting up early (5 or 5:30am) for the past couple years in order to have more time for morning devotions, reading, and to workout. But I felt like there was something wrong that it would take me an hour to “get moving.” I enjoy my quiet time, but have felt like I was being inefficient. Thank you for explaining the process of what is happening when we wake up, including the approximate timing of the phases. You have given permission to embrace our body’s natural rhythms! ❤
I wake at 5 at the latest, pray, read the Quran, do yoga or strength training, drink coffee in my patio while watching the sun rise and if I have time before getting ready for work I read - love the mornings 😊
Alhamdulillah
Ma shaa Allah. May Allah accept it from you and grant you tawfiq ❤️
Most of us get up when it's still dark and watch the sun come up from our jobs. Can you come up with a plan for the people that don't go into work at 9am? I get up at 3 am, start getting ready for work at 4:15 and pull in to my job at 5:30 am.
Mindy can you make a video about overnight/swing shift workers in regards to their health. We know it is horrible for our health and id love to be able to combat some of these side effects.
Omg yes!! That would be awesome!! 😁
great idea, my naturally skinny daughter has gained so much weight since working overnight :(
@@luckyone4881My brother has lost all his extra weight working graveyard. He makes it a point to walk as often as he can.
I have found melatonin patches help a lot with sleep after nights, better than tablets as slow release through your "night". Also there are lots of online resources on healthy eating with shift work. Many use it as an excuse or feel as if it's only possible to eat crap..I have been there. But chocolate can be swapped for nuts, boiled eggs, cut up carrots and celery w homous or guac etc. Stay hydrated and you'll need less caffeine. Meal prep if you're on a 4:3 type rota so you have delicious healthy meals when you're on shifts or after.
Fasting and shifts is definitely something I'd like to know more about from Mindy!
My daughters are night shift nurses. Please, a video on how to work the night shift and stay healthy. Also, their sleep habits can't be contributing to a healthy lifestyle. Short of working day shift, what's the best action plan for healthy sleep?
Wake up, Breathwork, yoga, sun exposure, walk or cycle to work, dandelion coffee, healthy breakfast that doesn't spike glucose at 10-11...
In 2022 I started implementing your concepts of health and wellness and lost 60 pounds that year. January of 2023 my employer decided to shift our work schedule Monday thru Thursday 5:30 am to 4 pm. Everyone thinks they would enjoy a compressed work week but it has rained hell on my perimenopause body. I haven't lost any more weight. I am still alternate my fast, whole foods diet, moderate exercise. My body just doesn't want to adjust to going to bed a 8 and wake at 3. Tips or advice would be greatly to get the right hours of sleep would be appreciated for those of us who work crazy hours. I love your channel and look forward to your videos. Thank you for all you do.
Find a new job?
My husband and I wake at 4 am
Talk about how we are, our dreams the meanings of them if any and what we are grateful for. Then we get up and jump and breathe with arms up and down , we SUPERCHARGE. Then we pray and meditate. I exercise for 30 mins - 1 hour at gym come home shower and write and get to work.
It’s fun. Good Yay
🙌
Wake up around 0600, play with husband and dogs, feed dogs, walk, make tea, journal in backyard before working remotely. As a nurse I've never got in the habit of wearing fragrance because patients with asthma or allergies can have detrimental consequences. I usually don't eat until 1000 or 1100 unless it's a fasting day. Twice a week I take a weight class at the gym at 0530, then walk, make tea, have protein smoothie, and journal in backyard.
Alhamdulillah for Islam.
We wake up before the sun to pray and say a morning dua - (verbal prayer) thanking God for waking up from a minor death
We do a quick wudu: (ablution)
(Wash hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head wipe, ears, feet)
Stand and pray, 2 units of standing, bending , prostrating, sitting (repeat)
Start your day
Alhamdulillah ❤️
Now that I’ve been following you, I do delay my coffee for about an hour, I don’t put my glasses on, so I won’t read my e-emails and I go and sit on my porch on my little reading nook where the sun rises and I listen to some of the people I follow spiritually. Since my glasses are also transitions I don’t want to block the light - peaceful moments and then I talk to my kids before I even look at an email we check in. I’ve got three grown-up daughters that are all at different stages of their lives and Still miss being mummed in the morning so we try and start our day with positivity and check-in and laughter then after about an hour or so I will put on my glasses check my email. I have been really lax about the morning muscle building exercise, so today’s a tip about using testosterone with the cortisol spike is GOLD! Thank you as always!
I'm glad to hear that, but it's your hard work and persistence that made it happen. Keep it up! 💙
I do at least ten minutes of yoga first thing, and drink water with apple cider vinegar. I turn on the lights 😂I don’t drink coffee til I get to work. I’m glad you said something about scents. I won’t use my HAPPY by Clinique in the morning. If i could get a better nights sleep I’d get up even earlier. I love the morning peace
I just love how you explain things in a simple way. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you’re putting out there for us to educate ourselves.
Much love ✨♥️
I love all this information, can you please do a video, for people who work early in the morning. I sometimes go to work before the sun comes out.
You explain things in ways that are easy to understand, I am able to retain the information faster. I love how you simplify complex concepts making it easier to learn about the confusing aspects of our bodies. So happy to discover you and look forward to learning more about my body and how it works as well as others around me.
I try and start my day with prayer/scripture study and walking (and water).
👍💙
Great info! The first 15-20 minutes of my day are taking care of my 3 cats. Feeding and cleaning litter boxes. But I do get light, I go out and fill the bird feeder, and refresh the outdoor water. I’m taking my morning 40 minute walk earlier now, trying to beat the Southern California heat. 😥 I was watching a couple gardening TH-cam videos with coffee before my walk, but I think I’ll try switching up the sequence. I’ll care for the animals, then walk, then have my coffee and favorite “shows”.
I’m just getting back into fasting after taking about a year and a half break. I was doing intermittent fasting, some 24 & 36 hour fasts, and completed 3-4 day water fasts back in 2022 but did none last year. Earlier this month I did a 3 day fast and felt so great! I really need to lose this extra 45 pounds. I’m resubscribed to your channel for motivation, knowledge and support. Thank you!! ❤
Well it works for people who don't have to look after children and run for your daily work
Get up before the kids. I did that for many years. It starts the night before with clothes laid out and going to bed early. You may not be able to do all of it, but you can start with organization. My routines were so crucial to me while raising three kids as a single mom with a full time job. I didn’t do everything right but those two things helped tremendously. Hope it helps!
When I had young ones, 4:00 a.m. was my sacred time, my favorite hour of my day. That hour was untouchable, because my kiddos remained fast asleep. I meditated, read, worked out, whatever I moved to do.
And then my magic hour was over, got ready for work, got the kids ready for school.
Now that my kids are adults, I have no motivation to get out of bed. 😅
I homeschool kids and work, and find the time. It’s possible.
I am going to wait an hour before I drink coffee, and only positive things in my brain, I haven’t been doing this. I turn on local news and brew coffee before anything else. Thanks Dr Mindy! 🫶🏻
We are cheering you on 🙏 Keep us posted on your progress! 💙Dr. Mindy's Team
I pretty much do the first 4, but the exercising in the morning is hard with having to get to work. But I am going to try to fit it in. Love your help Dr. Mindy!
My mornings are all dedicated to kids 🥲 I either wake up from my alarm or from one of them jumping on me, at 7am. Then yes, I will be on my feet for over an hour, but no work outs, just breakfast making, lunch making, then after dropping the kids at school, I finally get to do a 15-20 minutes walk, then have my coffee with double cream at about 10-11.
I'm with you, same story
We have 6 kids. We’ve learned to get up an hour before the kids to develop our routine
I’m about to become an empty-nester. I never thought I would say it, but I miss those times. It flies by so fast! Your children are very fortunate to have such a loving parent ❤
Try waking up just 30 min earlier and do something for yourself from this list. Even if it's lying in bed doing a meditation. Your kids will thank you for it too!
I am getting back to conscious choice in that liminal space and I appreciate your reminder. Didn’t know the word for it but know it’s potent. I do the lemon water thing and light and trying to get off of social media into a book instead. I have my strong tea and hour later and the biggie as it seems to be for a lot of people, is programming exercise time. Loved this video and love all of your videos. Happy that my sister is now a follower as well. XO Elizabeth in Arizona.
Hi Dr Mindy I have been doing that,it's great and it really works,I drink my coffee with mct oil half hour before gym wow what great energy I have a 45 minie
After reading fast like a girl recently, along with changing my diet to suit my cycle, I started eating my breakfast two hours after I get up instead of straight away and I find I’m much less hungry for some reason throughout the day. I feel so much more alive in the morning, finding I don’t have a slump after eating any more. After watching this I’m going to start walking g my dog after breakfast too! Absolutely love your content Mindy, you’re a lifesaver!! 🩷
Thank you, Dr. Mindy for your exceptional work! Your books and videos are superb! I love that all of your essential work and expertise is based on science. It is platinum. Thank you for your sunny spirit and your passion! Thank you for your generosity! Greetings from Boston and Deutschland!!
I got your book, got it for my friend and I love you and your channel!! Thanks for all the free info!
Hello 🌈and thanks for your informations on how the body works: l agree and have noticed from own experience - a lot of them by myself, intuitiv and it works for me very well:
- on the morning - first thing - l do some breathwork, often in bed, but open window. Then l go „outside“ - and do either a cardio walk with music or sit on the balcony and listen to some pos. affirmations.
Afterwords l do my sport - at least 30 min - whatever feels good to me, always supported with music. My „infusion for the day! I feel just fine going into the day like that. If l am hungry then, l take a protein shake or some Greek Joghurt with nuts and banana and blueberries and cinnamon. Love that.
Only coffee: l confess - l am „addicted“. I simply love coffee and first thing after waking up l get water and then my coffee 1 and 1/2. and 2 hours later another or espresso.
Does matcha really make such a difference? If so - l would try it at least.
Looking forward to an advice on that. 🌈🌷🦋thanks in advance.
Working in the medical field it’s hard to wait on that cup of coffee. Usually going to work when it’s dark or the sun is just peaking-which I love. I do my best when I work out before work-usually a HIIT Workout with or without weights. Weekends, it’s usually more relaxed. I feed the chickens at daybreak, Bible study and then a workout.
What is awesome is God has this schedule for me that when I do it I am my best. This morning routine totally fits into what she is talking about and as I spend time with Him thanking Him loving Him reading the Bible and speaking the truth over myself and those I will encounter that day it’s like YES His mercy IS new every morning . This is how He created us. He for us and us for Him. I take my morning walk to and from the bus to work fellowshiping with Him speaking in the spirit and praying for others my mind and body just feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be
One of my favorites of yours yet, thank you !!
I get the testosterone surge at night. That's when I love to weight train. Literally i work out for an hour before bed, it makes me sleepy.
I fast 18 hours (someone told me about that 😊) so I don't eat in the morning except herbal tea or coffee.
I honestly believe in the mindful thoughts in the morning! My worst days are started with negative thoughts or things that are worrying me. It sets the tone for the day...
I start my day with puppies and kitties.. Literally lol. My cat comes to say good morning (and feed me) and my dog rolls over for a morning snuggle. Starting calmly like that full of love I firmly believe has helped me stay calm dealing with my daily stresses.
I did not know about the phthalates !! This was totally knew to me. I hate air fresheners and perfumes because they give me killer headaches but all those airborne chemicals affecting us in other physical ways makes complete sense !!
I have to go rearrange my bedroom, think I need me a thinking chair!
You are totally insanely cool Dr. Pelz , thank you !!!
I generally have my coffee roughly an hour after I get up and don't eat for 3 hours after I wake up. Longer if I'm fasting
This video is so very important! You did a fabulous job on explaining some of the intricacies of the brain waves, too! About 15 years ago I was offered the opportunity to participate in a research symposium at Stanford regarding some research I did with brain waves and healing. Do you think that gamma waves play a role with hormones? Thank you for this video.
U
This is so clear and helpful. Thanks
Up at 6 and out with dogs, just 15 mins plus 30 squats
Summer months go to river with a friend. Cold water plunge Winter a swim and sauna
Need to focus on getting rid of phone early on and reading instead
I've been getting up an hour before my kids are up to go for a walk. I tried to run but realised it’s too early for me. When I’m back from my walk I’d have a cup of coffee which is almost ah hour after waking up.
Sounds great except many of us wake up at 5 something, get ready for work, go sit in rush hour traffic for an hour, and then stay in a cubicle all day. I'm lucky to have a standing desk. I'll squat while I put on makeup and skip coffee til right before a meeting.
I'm going to have a difficult time waiting an hour after I wake to have my coffee, but I will try.
👍
Thank you thank you!!❤ I am learning so much interesting. I listen many Times and take notes. This knolwedge is just what I have been looking for. No ”programs”, just know how my body works. And give it what it needs. ❤️
Cheering you on! 🎉🙌
💙 Dr Mindy's Team
All the points you mentioned all work together, you miss one you sabotage it all. Start with light.
Can you please do a video on vegetarians fasting and the foods and proteins we should be eating?
I love your perspective on liminal space 🥰.
To complete all these morning tasks and still get to work on time, I'd gave to get up at 430 am. Its dark 3/4 of the year at 430 at my latitude.. Also, we're supposed to prioritize sleep. There is no possible way for me to be asleep by 730 or 8 and still be a part of family and community life., especially in the summer months when it is still light out till past 9 pm. I like the information, and I'll use what I can, but most Americans don't have as much free time as this morning routine requires.
Doing all five, but some of them "by accident." Now I know. Thank you.
🙌
The information you give is just amazing and also confirming. Because I have been trying to implement these things intuitively. Now it's solid evidence that these rhythms in our hormones exist and we can come into agreement with how they benefit US!
Self awareness is a strong power! Keep it up 💙
Thank you for this golden advice! I listen to you and JJ Virgin & together my lifetime regiment has streamlined to perfect health! It all makes so much sense and works!!
60 IS the new 40 !
🙌💙
Thank you so much for this. I do all but the working out in the morning
🙏
You are amazing! Thank you so much! Changing lives including mine!
🙌
My routine:
When I get up I meditate and exercise
Have breakfast
At night, I stop watching TV or scrolling phone about 1-2 hours before bed
Taking a cold bath to calm down my nervous system (which makes me feel sleepy)
Then mild yoga , stretching and meditate
All those things, like you mentioned, helped my hormonal , stress, infection and sleeping issues.
Thank you for being my inspiration ❤
You all inspire all of this 💙
This is what I did this morning! I listened to music and sat down to complete reading from your treasured book, Fast Like a Girl! 💜
Since I’m currently in the gulf area, not middle east the heat and haste mean there’s not much sun I can expose myself to, but I still open the curtains 🫠
🙌
Really good. Going to try harder to adhere to this. About to start a health journey after going downhill a lot since the pandemic and its consequences. This is so interesting. Im realising and discovering a lot of things at 60 x
🙌
I completely understand the idea behind going with our natural rhythms and I do most of this. What do we do in the winter when sunlight is an issue? I am up at 5:30 daily and I can't get sun before I start my day. Plus, I don't have a lot of time before I leave for work so I can only do about 10 minutes of meditation in order to fit in my yoga and daily flow to help my lymph drainage. Can we get our sunlight later and still get the benefits?
One of my favorite's from you. My hormones are not great. I am a carnivore with an occasional veggie. Did BHT for a year. Had a stroke so can't do them anymore. I do walk within the 1st 2 hours of waking. I don't drink caffeine. I do drink decaf which I'm sure still has some.
I was surprised you didn't mention serotonin in this video especially with tip #2, the sunlight benefits that increase serotonin so it helps produce more melatonin naturally at night. ❤
I love the way that you teach❤
Ohh yes i do all of these, but i will add some affirmations on waking, plus i need to add breath work or qigong into the morningroutine. I often sleep half the night outside, as im lucky to have a covered terrace, so always wake with the sun, such a good start to the day. I can never complete an evening weights session at night, now i know why, and it gives me hope to build muscle which is quite honestly a battle!! Thank you mindy, i will share your wisdom with friends. ❤
🙏
I wake, stretch, look at weather report, get dogs out to potty (get my sun Scooping poop), if up early might do a little vine snipping or weeding, feed 10 furbabies then have my coffee and back to bed for an hour. I ground myself outside when i get up again, then eat a meal. I have adrenal exauhstion.. been trying for years to fix. My cortisol rises like it is supposed to, but 2 hours later, hits rock bottom and stays there all day. Working on autophogy now. I do yoga and/or light weights in the early evening after feedings then my 2nd meal. Take 60mg melatonin to get a good night's sleep.
I have been doing most except working out in the a.m. and I usually look at my phone within the first 15 minutes of being awake. I have my coffee usually within the first 15 minutes of waking also. I do like to go out on my front porch and enjoy nature for a little bit while having my coffee. This is big enjoyment for me.
🙌
The first thing a Muslim says upon arising from sleep is, “Praise and thanks to The One who brought me to life after I was dead and to Him is the resurrection.”
I do all of this but i also drink 1 spoon of apple cider vinager with water to balance hormone
👍🙂
I LOVE this! I've been getting myself in the habit of having a gentle morning for the first hour, waiting for that first cup of coffee and I love it. Here's something I'm currently struggling with though that I want to beat. I'm 59 and I have Fibromyalgia. In my 40s I was a fitness nut and I'm one of those people who really enjoys the gym environment. But since menopause and the FM which I've had for about 10 years, it is REALLY hard to get myself moving in the morning. I WANT to, but walking is often painful for me (after, not as much during) and the same with working out. Because of the pain, I have this huge mental wall that is keeping me from exercising. I don't know how to get past this. Where we live, there is a pool. Is swimming enough of an activity? If so, for how long? I so want to be strong again!
Thx… your videos are always amazing … my mornings are usually slow … 1st thing I do I scrub my tongue, drink a glass of warm water with lemon, meditate, contemplate or read a book, then do yoga, or workout, breath practice… then go to work on the garden … kind of following my hormones flow …👏🏽✌🏽🙏🏽
that all sounds lovely! 💙
Awesome video. Thank you. I have been struggling with depression and my usual tools are not quite working. My first thing is decaf with soya. It's dark outside when I get up, so these points will help.
All of them! At least 80% of the time. And it's made a big (good) difference.
👍
I started walking the dog each morning this week. Then abs. I used to workout fasted but am try to exercise in my eat window so I can fuel to repair after my workout with a goal of retaining and building lean muscle.
Thank you for the insight about our hormones ❤ that was the reason why I started to watch your YT videos. I never ment to fast as I was convinced that's bad for women...
I ended up buying "Fast like a Girl" and doing a 72h water fast. I have well prepared for this fast for almost 3 months whereas I could switch into fat burning mode as from the start and had already some healthy food habits - by the way there is much less toxic food in the shelfs in Europe. Without realizing I am regularly fasting for 13-15has a normal lifestyle 😅
Thank you so much for all your precious videos 🙏🏼❤❤❤
🙏
Hi Mindy! I get up early about 5:15 am and have an alternating work out schedule of either walking 3 miles or going to the gym to lift weights or do cardio. I do drink coffee right away, so I think I'll try to wait an hour and see how that works out. I don't go to the gym right away, so I could definitely spend some time putting something positive in my brain vs. checking emails or social media (which I know would be health-ful) **. I love knowing how our bodies work hormonally (spelling?) and I appreciate you explaining this so much, thank you! I agree with you that the morning is a special time for us to do things that are helpful to us, and to protect our sleep by getting 7-9 hours every night too. Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to knowing more, and trying some of these tips!!! I learn so much from you!! Take care :-))
It would be great to relax in the morning for an hour, pop outside and feel nature, then have your coffee, exercise and then walk...,not happening if you are working early full time..do really appreciate the information but impossible to get around this unless I get up at 5am before work and would probabaly be late ..Really appreciate your huge gift to the world..your information and care have changed lives!
I work 8 to 5. I get up at 4 ...drink coffee peacefully for an hour and ride my bike...come back, get ready for work. We'll, 8 is not really early.
@Robin-mj6jv what time do ypu go to bed. I have the same schedule, but can't seem to get to bed earlier than 10 asleep around 11 and up at 530. I am trying to work my way to 430.
@melifrugalandfitmom126 ohhhh, I'm usually in bed no later than 8:30. Your body will get with whatever rhythm you do consistently. I had to weigh the benefit of the morning time versus the evening. When no one is up but me and the earth is quiet; I can truly work on getting myself together in many ways.
@@Robin-mj6jv yes! I soo need to do this my body crashes at 830, it wants me to sleep but I am usually still doing all the things. I need to work on this
Thank you
All of these are new. But explains why I'm not hungry in the morning.

@@DrMindyPelz I'm 40% thru FLG .. long long before I can complete the chapters I started fasting without considering my cycles n ruined my body with similar symptoms you mention like hair falling weight gaining etc I also ruined my metabolism I think .. bcz, even after considering the cycle nowadays, i can't fast for a whole day without spoiling my sleep n fatigue post fast. M a Lacto vegetarian with chronic GI issues after some food poisoning episodes many years ago.
Could you pls make a video for ppl like me
In the US a lot of people leave for work while it is still dark.
I am new to this channel but I am loving it! I am learning so much! I got to it by watching an episode of The Diary of a CEO (great stuff as well!!). Watching at this video I have finally understand why the time that I used to go to the gym at 5AM did so much good to me. I was full of energy, lost a lot of weight and was feeling so great. I am in the process of getting to my best self at my 58, and I am putting my ‘toolbox’ together. Thank you for sharing so much great info!!
I get up at half 4 ish. Have a coffee brush my teeth. And either do bike ride or hiit workout. I no doubt always feel better and just great way to start the day
Thanks Dr Mindy for great video!❤🎉 I the night shift. My day starts @7pm to 7am. How do I incorporate these steps with the different hormone surges?
Dr Mindy you are the best!
I do everything you said in this video and I feel great, I'm 49 years old I bike 4 times a week for an hour and do yoga 4 times a week, I have been fasting for a couple of years now I usually fast for 19 to 20 hours but I'm gaining weight lately so I'm thinking to shorten My fasting to 16 hours hopefully that will lower the stress
The new one for me was weights in the morning. With back issues, I generally do stretching and core strengthening exercises in the evening an hour before bed. I've been wondering where I could work in some weight training, and this seems perfect. Thank you!
🙌
Amazing information ! Been following your suggestions for the last 18 months with fabulous results. Thanks so much!
🙌🎉🎉
I typically wake up around 6a, take a spin class, and try to set an intention/plan for the day before I welcome in the rest of the world (or do stuff for the family).
Dr. Mindy!!!! You are the best!! Thank you soooo much!! 🤍🩵🤍
🙏💙
Thank you for this wonderful information and break down.
🙌💙
I do feel good when I do all 5 of these steps, I’m going to recommit to these rituals 🌅

My mornings are different in summer and in winter.
I always start with drinking water, and I take my phone, but only to write to my sweetheart "good morning Habibi". We are apart more often for now.
In summer I try to go out right away, for about 15-20 min. In winter I do soft workout at home, cause it's still dark outside.
I eat little later, but not too much (sometimes I fast all day-in that case I take pinch of salt), I don't drink coffee at all.
👍🙂
Hey Doc, I’m a huge fan of you and the wonderful work you are doing. I’m getting a brow lift next month to help with droopy eyelids that have been causing me some trouble as I’m getting older. I follow your advice to a T and I’m worried that the antibiotics my surgeon will prescribe are going to wreck my gut microbiome and mess with my hormones. Do you have any natural alternative recommendations that I can discuss with my surgeon?
I agree with all of these but would add drink a pint of water before anything else.
First thing I take my dogs out and I get plenty of sun in then. Have coffee half hour later. Now I will extend my coffee later on and stay outside longer. Thanks
How nice! 🐾

Not doing any ….. but that’s going to change tomorrow morning 😁
💪🙌
Remove social media from your phone. If you so desperately want it, go to your laptop or so.
Also at 8pm i have an alarm to put on my red screen and at 9pm an alarm to put my phone away.
🙌
I think that’s a great idea to remove social media from your phone! If I want to check out social media I can do it from my computer. I spend way too much time scrolling
This is a fantastic, informative video. Thank you so much. I now know how to help myself and my body in the mornings
