Summary

The habits that actually optimize your health are not the hard ones. They are the small, low-effort ones you can do without rearranging your whole life. We get sold protocols and programs and things that can feel too complicated or demand time you do not have, so the simple hacks get passed over because it feels too obvious to matter. But the simplest and obvious healthy habits are obvious because they work. When you stack a few of them together, they compound into something that changes your life in the long run. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I walk through the easy, low-effort habits I do every day that have optimized my life tenfold, even on the busiest days, from how I start my morning to how I trick myself into staying hydrated. Let's dive in! What's Discussed: (1:56) Why start every morning with 32 ounces of lemon water and how that can set up your whole day. (3:33) Why three short walks beat one long walk for your body. (5:19) Why working out first thing makes me sharper and more productive all day. (5:48) The impact of hot and cold therapy and how to do it without a sauna or cold plunge. (7:06) Why weight training is non-negotiable, especially after 40. (8:04) Why having healthy food on hand saves you from your own worst decisions. (8:42) The healthy habit nobody calls a habit: laughing every day. (9:51) The elastic band trick that forces you to actually drink enough water. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.
0:06.6	Hello, everybody. Welcome to another solo episode of Habits and Hustle. Next up, I want to talk about
0:13.6	healthy habits. I think that there are some habits that we can adopt that really don't take that much effort at all
0:23.2	and doesn't really require really that much that can really optimize your life like tenfold.
0:30.5	And I want to go over them super quickly because they're easy and they're important.
0:35.4	So let's do it. Okay.
0:36.8	Amazing.
0:37.5	Okay, this is super simple, super, super quick.
0:40.6	The first thing that I do every morning is I drink basically a 32 ounce glass of room temperature water and I squeeze a lemon in it.
0:51.3	Number one, I feel like it totally detoxes my body and it starts my day
0:56.6	off right because I'm hydrating. I'm not someone who loves water. I actually hate water. So I have to
1:03.4	be a little bit more premeditated of drinking it during the day so I actually drink enough. And so
1:09.0	that way I'm then getting in a huge amount, like two or
1:12.6	three glasses at a time, right in the morning. So I'm starting off my day right with that lemon.
1:18.8	And that's how I take my supplements. So I take all of my supplements with that big glass of
1:23.2	water that is, like I said, 32 ounces, I think. I'm going to show you this. I'm going to show you the size. Oh, nice. This is it. This is the size of the glass. And so this is probably, like I said, was this, was this 32 ounces? No. Oh, it could be. I don't know. Yeah, because eight ounces is probably like where your lower thumb is right now. Yeah, I would say it. Definitely more than 16. Okay. Maybe 20. It's about 20. Whatever. It's a big, it's a big, it's a big, it's a big glass. It's a big glass of water, okay? And I take my supplements. I take omega-3s. I've been taking that forever. I take true nitrogen, which is the NAD precursor. You take it and it basically helps your body produce NAD.
2:02.7	I've been taking Trinogen for, again, like six years also. I take an antioxidant called NAC.
2:08.7	That's really good. And what else do I take? And then I kind of, I sometimes take a probiotic.
2:14.3	Do you do magnesium? Sometimes at night, but that's not one of my go-toes. I don't like to take so many
2:20.6	supplements. I just take, you know, I have, I take a certain amount with the water and then I make
2:26.3	sure that I walk multiple times a day versus just taking one long walk. I think it's really important
2:32.4	for you to move your body multiple times a day versus,
