Q & A
What is the 'triple alarm technique' mentioned in the script?
-The 'triple alarm technique' is a method used to wake up gently and refreshed. It involves setting the first alarm to vibrate at 5 a.m., the second alarm with light music on a crescendo 15 minutes later, and a third alarm with light music at 5:30 a.m. if needed.
Why does the speaker avoid caffeine in the morning?
-The speaker avoids caffeine to prevent the caffeine crash and to stay away from the negative effects of caffeine, such as increased blood pressure and cortisol levels, which can be detrimental to starting the day.
What is the significance of the electrolyte drink in the morning routine?
-The electrolyte drink is important as it helps to hydrate the body after a night of sleep, boosts metabolism, and provides energy for the day without the need for caffeine.
Why does the speaker choose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as his morning exercise?
-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is chosen because it provides five essential elements for a morning workout: cardiovascular training, muscle resistance training, martial arts training, flexibility, and mental fortitude.
What is the purpose of doing something for someone else in the morning routine?
-The purpose is to give a sense of purpose and to make someone else's life better, which in turn makes the speaker's life better and starts the day on a positive note.
What are the benefits of alternating between sauna and cold plunge in the morning routine?
-Alternating between sauna and cold plunge increases and decreases blood flow rapidly, which is known as the pumping effect. This improves overall circulation in the body and the brain, helping to reduce inflammation and improve focus throughout the day.
Can you explain the meditation routine described in the script?

What is the role of the silicone scrubber in the grooming routine?
-The silicone scrubber is used to target problem areas prone to acne, such as the chest, shoulders, and back. It helps to remove bacteria and dirt, promoting a cleaner and healthier skin.
Why is the shower water temperature set between 98 and 104° F or 37 and 40° C?
-This temperature range is scientifically proven to be the best for removing dirt without overdrying the skin, making it ideal for a morning shower.
What is the significance of the facial skincare routine using the PMD Clean Pro?
-The PMD Clean Pro with its vibrating bristles and anticlockwise motion helps to cleanse deep into the pores, remove dirt, and activate the lymphatic system, leading to a cleaner and healthier complexion.
