My bonus son thinks Nick and I are unhinged. And honestly, when he walks past and sees me in mouth tape, or breathing hydrogen through a little tube at my desk, I can see where he’s coming from.

But here’s why I do all of it. Everything you’re calling in has to land in a body that can actually hold it. When your body is stuck in survival mode, it’s just trying to get you through the day, and there isn’t much room left over for anything else. So I look after mine, and I keep working on expanding my capacity to hold more.

In my 20s I needed 2 coffees, sugar and a nap to get through the day. At 40 I wake up before the alarm. This is everything I do, with every link and code in one place so you don’t have to go hunting.

Sauna with red light & hydrogen ice bath

Once a week I do the sauna (mine has red light built in, so I get my red light therapy at the same time), then the cold plunge, then an ice facial. I’d love to do this more often, and I will, but right now I’m healing postpartum depletion, so it’s baby steps and that’s okay.

If you don’t have a plunge, the ice facial is the easiest place to start. Freeze a bowl of filtered water overnight, top it up with water in the morning, and dunk your face. It wakes you up like nothing else.

Personalised protocol

I do 5 tests, and then my supplements are made for exactly what my body needs. I don’t guess anymore. I look at the data with a holistic doctor, and it’s taken so much of the second-guessing out of looking after myself.

Clean food and water

Organic food, filtered water, and a Hydrogen Health filtration system on the whole house. It’s the least exciting thing on this list, and it matters more than any gadget here. You can have every device in the world, but what you put in your body every single day is the foundation.

Non-toxic everything

No hormone disruptors over here. I’ve swapped my makeup, skincare and haircare for clean versions that actually work, because I’m not willing to trade my hormones for a good mascara.

Hydrogen breathing machine

This is the one that gets the most looks in our house. I breathe hydrogen through a little nasal tube while I work, and about half an hour in, my whole body settles.

Circadian lighting

We have circadian lighting through the whole house done by Tall Tech, and I wear blue light glasses at night to protect my melatonin. I look ridiculous, but my melatonin doesn’t care. The less bright blue light at night, the easier it is for your body to know it’s time to wind down.

Sleep

A cold, dark room, an eye mask, earplugs and mouth tape. None of it is glamorous, but together it tells my body it’s safe to switch off and drop into that deep, restful state.

Mindset

This is the hack that makes every other one work. Prayer, meditation and breathwork, morning and night. You can do every single thing on this list, but if your mind is running the show from fear, your body will feel it.

Every morning I do my Higher Self Meditation, where I step into the version of me who already has everything I’m calling in. I recorded it so you can use it too.

As always, I truly hope this helps.
