Do This FIRST THING In The Morning To Boost Energy & NEVER BE TRIED Again! | Mark Hyman

Between 20 and 30 percent of all doctor visits are initiated due to lack of energy, or chronic fatigue. It is a common problem that plagues so many of us. Often we don’t realize that the last thing we want to do—exercise—could be an easy solution to increasing our energy levels. When we create stress in the body from exercise or other stressors, also called hormesis, we can actually build back stronger as the body heals and repairs.

In this episode of my new Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about all the things we can do to improve our energy levels. We also talk about how caffeine and sugar in your diet impact energy, as well as answer questions from our community about the value of napping, if MCT oil increases energy, and why fruit juice is not a great choice.

Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.

I used to have CFS as well. I believe the psychological component is huge. I've coached people on this and worked with some leading recognized doctors. People often feel fundamentally "inadequate" and the solution to life they feel is "just do a little more and work a little harder and do this little secret thing." When the deeper issue is one of people perhaps doing the wrong job or in a bad relationship or bad life situation, but not sure how to process that. A great life coach or therapist can help (don't stick with anyone who you're seeing for more than a few months, because they're not helping). Just my experience. But hopefully it helps! This works physiologically and medically as well as it shifts the autonomic nervous system in the body from "fight/flight/faint emergency mode" to "health and healing mode, " which changes even what foods we want to eat, how we sleep, and how we heal.

Great tips if you’re rich!! During his “difficult years” his sob story to make him “relatable”, he says he worked three days a week plus had time during the day to get massages, hot saunas, etc. so he’s able to “work” his 9-4pm” job.

I really enjoyed this, thanks guys. 👍

Ive had covid twice and I haven’t been the same since.
I quit smoking cigarettes 9 days ago. I only smoked 5 to 10 cigarettes a week but still it was a bad gross habit.
Im hoping my breathing gets better soon.
I used to love to work out and slow jog. I
I have always loved to jog and be outside in nature but now it’s very difficult for me because I feel like I never get enough oxygen.I get winded so fast now.
And since the 2nd covid I had last January I always have vertigo. Before Covid I was fine.
Im 47 and feel 77

Ive never been more depressed in My life!!!!
I pray one day soon… I wake up and feel normal again. Im in shock that I never feel good anymore!!! It’s like a bad dream, I want to wake up from.
And my husband thinks I’m faking half the time, it’s awful.
I can’t even work and I need to. I need to contribute and stop putting all the stress of paying the mortgage and bills on my husband! I feel like a weak pathetic wining loser.
Anyways, thanks for this insightful podcast. 👍👍👍

🥱😴😴🤤😪
Yeah, yeah sure, splash your face with cold water first thing in the morning from the bathroom sink. Get into a cold plunge bath, not a chance. The cold/warm water sink face splash is an old wise advice lesson, the cold plunge bath is perhaps only for the most brave. 😊

Brilliant tips as always.  A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.

[jewelgarden]

Best information!! Such a good video!! Thank you thank you!!

Hey lovers ❤️
Thanks for all the work Dr. Hyman we're fighting with you.

[duncanmacmillan]

It's really good that Dhru makes the point about hot and cold showers. Dr Hyman's only flaw seems to be that he is so used to having money and seeing patients with money that he forgets how big of a limiting factor it is for some people. If you're living with chronic fatigue on $1200 a month in a first world country and you're socially isolated, i.e. you aren't going to get any practical help from friends or family and you're too tired or depressed to cook 3/4 of the time, I would love to know what the recommendations are.

Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe and for helping us take care of our health. Wishing everyone who is watching this video always healthy, peaceful, and happy❤

The only time I tried a sauna followed by an icy water bath at my gym, I got out of the bath, walked to the shower, and passed out. I awoke to the EMTs. I told them I was fine, then passed out again. I had never passed out in my entire life. The EMTs told me not to do it again and explained why. I've forgotten the explanation but wonder if you should be recommending this without reservation. I was probably in my late 30s, early 40s at the time.

What I do yhat literally makes you feel like your glowing(& is safe) is taking a warm to ylhot shower, then after i do that as long as i like, gradually lower it to as cold as possible, then do that for 2-5 mins while getting everywhere on your body wet(armpits, neck, hands, back of your legs, feet, crotch etc.) Then switch back to warm or hot gradually for 2-5 mins, then rotate back and forth like 2-3 more times and preferably end on a cold cycle. Trust me you will feel like a million bucks for hours. Its safe and you will feel like youre glowing

I have black out blinds in my bedroom no tv. Been keto almost 3 yrs. I drink my coffee within the 1st 2 hours after breaking my fast. I do hot showers and in the summer i do hot then cold. I eat between end of fast and @12 noon. Then eat again by 4 or 5 . My fast is 16-8. I do need more energy. 62. Not on any meds.

[dirtydiana]

This is really helpful and I have been applying it to my life ever since I've been watching your videos and I've already seen a great change and also my blood work came back excellent except they found ketones in my urine which concerned me but maybe it's because I'm burning fat and not glucose anyway I'm not a doctor I have no idea but I will say thank you again because I am following your plant-based diet and I've already been feeling a lot better so thank you so much bye now

[arlenemcnary]

thank you for this info, , Life is rough, eating healthy is even rougher, and expensive too, , but i got to try.. thanks still, , ..

Since most of the world is obese... losing 50 to a 100 lbs would be a great way to not be so tired. Carrying around a few 50lb bags of potatoes (or your favorite vegetable) 24/7 could definately make life harder.

[ellinorglorioso]

Being a dancer in my life I learned that for me taking vitamin B in the evening will keep you awake..so that's when I decided to take it in the morning with food.. Dr.Leo Galland you did a show on for healing cronic fatigue which was great education. Thank you for investigating our better health and healing .

[mrwestssuccess]

For coffee to avoid the crash completely just wait 30-90 minutes after eaking up to drink it

Hi Dr. Hyman
Hope all is well.
Thank you, thank you, for helping me save my life. So much info. I started with the easier things first, then the less easier. My arthritis hurts less, I now have more mobility with my scoliosis. There are some things that will always be a challenge. To have the knowledge now and know that I can do more. Keeping active and eating healthy is my go too. I tell everyone about you.
Stay safe and groovy.
