00:00 - I think it's important to understand

00:01 we typically load our body with carbohydrates

00:04 and sugar in the morning, whether it's sweetened coffees,

00:07 teas, muffins, bagels, cereal, pancakes,

00:10 whatever I could go on and on,

00:12 you know what I'm talking about.

00:14 We really need to be eating fat and protein,

00:16 particularly protein.

00:17 So protein is really important to eat on a fasted state

00:19 'cause that activates our stem cells,

00:20 it creates muscle synthesis,

00:22 builds our muscle mass,

00:24 which is critical to healthy longevity and function.

00:27 So I basically, I use regeneratively raised goat whey.

00:30 I use about 40 grams of goat whey.

00:32 I put in creatine, about five to 10 grams of creatine.

00:36 I put in probiotics.

00:37 I put in something called urolithin A,

00:39 that's something known as MitoPure,

00:40 which is a compound from pomegranate

00:42 that helps activate mitochondrial regeneration.

00:45 So our energy centers, the mitochondria

00:47 are the little factories in our cells that make energy

00:49 and they decline as we age.

00:51 So I use MitoPure, which helps to clean up our mitochondria,

00:54 build new mitochondria, reduce inflammation,

00:56 has all these wonderful benefits.

00:58 I put in, I say probiotics as well,

01:02 and I put in my gut food product,

01:05 which is essentially a pre-probiotic and polyphenol blend.

01:08 And I kind of mix it all up.

01:10 I take my shake and then I usually take

01:13 my morning supplements and I include a whole cocktail

01:16 of things I include in my book, "Young Forever,"

01:18 including a multi-official vitamin D.

01:20 Also take B vitamins 'cause I have some genetics

01:22 related to methylation, which is important for longevity.

01:26 So I've checked my genetics, I know how to optimize my biology.
