Episode notes
Hydrate First, Fuel Smart
- Start your day with hydration and mineral-rich water before coffee to reset physiology.
- Add fats and occasional protein to coffee for time-release energy and fasted training performance.
Consistency Is Performance Insurance
- Routines are mandatory for long-term performance because consistency keeps your system 'running'.
- Deviating from them quickly shows measurable consequences in strength and recovery.
Rotate Fats And Add Protein When Needed
- Use a mix of stable fats: ghee, MCT, coconut, and red palm oil to vary metabolic fuel.
- Add protein selectively or raw eggs when you need extended fuel or recovery.
