| 0:00.0 | If you're like most people listening to this, you've got travel coming up, and chances are it's happening during the most brutal stretch of the year for your immune system. Thanksgiving through New Year's is when everyone's flying somewhere. You're going to be on planes. You're going to be around sick people. Your body is going to be under stress, which means you're dealing with hacked airports, recycled air on long flights, and time zones that wreck your circadian rhythm. Most people |
| 0:21.8 | treat travel like something that just happens to them. They show up, they suffer through it, |
| 0:25.7 | and then they hope they don't get wrecked. But you're not most people. So today I'm going to walk |
| 0:29.9 | you through some of my favorite things that I use to protect myself when I travel. These are moves |
| 0:34.8 | I make before, during, and after every flight to land feeling my best. And if you implement even half of what I'm about to share, you're going to feel the difference immediately. Travel doesn't have to wreck you. You don't have to choose between seeing family and feeling good. You just need a plan. You're going to start to land clearer. You're going to have more energy. And you're going to show up for your family. And most importantly, you're going to protect your |
| 0:57.3 | immune system during the time of year when most people are getting hit the hardest. |
| 1:01.3 | These are the non-negotiables that keep me feeling sharp and strong no matter how long the flight. You're about to get on a plane. |
| 1:20.1 | Maybe it's next week, maybe it's next month. |
| 1:22.2 | But if you're like most people listening to this, you've got travel coming up, |
| 1:25.6 | and chances are it's happening during the most |
| 1:28.0 | brutal stretch of the year for your immune system. Thanksgiving through New Year's is when |
| 1:32.4 | everyone's flying somewhere, which means you're dealing with packed airports, recycled air |
| 1:37.3 | on long flights, sleep schedules that get completely thrown off, and time zones that wreck your |
| 1:42.2 | circadian rhythm. Add to that, everyone around you |
| 1:44.8 | coughing and sneezing while touching at the same armrests and bathroom doors and security bins |
| 1:49.9 | you're about to touch. So here's what most people do. They hope for the best. They pack some hand |
| 1:55.1 | sanitizers, maybe pop a vitamin C, and they pray that they don't get sick. And then they do. So they spend half their trip |
| 2:01.8 | feeling like garbage, not exactly the version of yourself you want to show up as. But it doesn't |
| 2:06.9 | have to be that way. Travel doesn't have to wreck you. You don't have to choose between seeing |
| 2:11.8 | family and feeling good. You just need a plan, a set of non-negotiables that protect your body, |
| 2:18.8 | your energy, and your immune system, no matter how long the flight, how many layovers, or how chaotic the holiday season gets. |
| 2:24.1 | So today I'm going to walk you through some of my favorite things that I use to protect myself |
