Eating 2-3 hours before bed (ideally before 7 pm): Going to sleep on an empty stomach is such a game-changer to boost mood, energy, and vitality for the next morning and to reinforce processes like memory consolidation and mitochondrial repair.  4. 10,000 Steps a Day: We're all busy creatures and we all tend to stay indoors or head to the gym for an exercise. But if you're in a stressful time and your body is undergoing stress, you want to remove HIIT/ interval training from your workouts and start simply walking outdoors- 10,000 steps as a daily goal can help with numerous health benefits like lowering blood pressure, increasing serotonin production, increasing vitamin D intake and so much more.  5. Waking up 15-min. earlier: If you're an extremely busy individual who feels like your'e drowning in work, with the kids, or with anything you're dealing with, waking up 15 minutes earlier for self-care, "me-time", meditation, prayer, or whatever can help start your day better, this will be such a great way to boost health, happiness, energy, and productivity.  *Not medical advice.  If you loved this episode, it would mean the world to me if you shared this episode on social media, with friends, family, and co-workers so we can help each other become healthier and the best versions of ourselves.
