Hey friend, For the past couple of months, I've been practicing a 10-minute habit that has had a profound effect on my life. Basically, after I wake up, I sit down on a couch and look at my thoughts, otherwise known as meditation. I know, I know. So many people talk about this, but I have to tell you, there's something to it. I'm calmer and more focused and feel a slight pause between a situation and my reaction to it. This compounds amazingly throughout the day. The ability to manage my emotions while I drive hard towards big goals in life is a massive net positive. Have you tried meditation? I'd love to hear about your experiences with it. That said... Here is your 4 Minute Friday:1. The surprising drink that helps you supercharge performanceScientists found that drinking special water might help your muscles work better. This water is called hydrogen-rich water (HRW). In a breakthrough study, people drank hydrogen-rich water for eight days and did challenging exercises on the last day. The results showed:
HRW could benefit athletes and people who like to work out, helping them exercise longer and harder. The research is early but promising. I don't know about you, but I'm willing to try it, especially if it helps me make more gains in the gym. 2. This easy exercise that helps you live 7 years longerIf you've been reading this newsletter or following me long enough, you know that walking is highly underrated. Well, researchers wanted to know if walking helps people stay young. They studied over 5,000 adults in the U.S. and measured tiny parts of cells called telomeres, which get shorter as we age. They found that people who walked 150 minutes or more each week had longer telomeres than those who didn't walk much. This means regular walkers might be up to 7 years younger in their bodies than non-walkers. Walking seems to slow down aging! This reminds me of my best friend's grandparents. They lived to be 99 and 100 and walked daily, regardless of the weather. Either way, put your walking shoes on, get outside, and let's live longer! ❤️ My Favourite Thing this WeekFrom Monday to Friday, I sit at my desk, put on my headphones, and listen to Brain.fm for a few hours of deep work. The reason is simple: It helps me focus better and improve my memory. Binaural beats have existed for a long time, but I still don't see many people taking advantage of their benefits. Binaural beats enhance focus by entraining brainwaves to specific frequencies. This promotes increased attention, cognitive flexibility, and sustained concentration. One study tested 32 participants who listened to beta (20 Hz), theta (5 Hz), or white noise (control). They found that binaural beats improved word recall, recognition scores, and memory performance by 36% to 46% compared to theta beats or white noise. I'm a massive fan of binaural beats, specifically Brain.fm. Their amazing soundtracks make it seem like you're not listening to binaural beats. And since I know the founder of Brain.fm, they're giving our high-performance community a month off for signing up.

Client of the week - Leonard Hui Senior Vice PresidentLenny is a senior VP who wanted to lose the belly, increase energy, and get into shape so he could be a better businessman and father. He struggled with getting on a routine and knowing what to do, especially when he travels for work. In 12 weeks, we lost 19 pounds, gained muscle, massively increased his energy, and started seeing his abs for the first time since high school. Our process was to lift weights using progressive overload, schedule his workouts into his calendar, and eat 3 nutrient-dense protein meals a day while limiting alcohol intake. We gave him a solid plan, and this alone helped him cut many of the decisions he made, especially while traveling. Overall, we created a structure around eating, working out, and sleeping that fit with his busy lifestyle.
