One of the questions I get asked the most is what I actually do.
First of all, I’m not perfect.
Back in 2014, after a health scare, I cut e v e r y t h i n g out; but as you can see, that’s far from sustainable.
Most days, this is the routine that helps me feel my best.
- I start my day by getting outside for a few minutes of morning sunlight whenever I can and drink a big glass of water with lemon oil. It’s one of the simplest ways I know to support my circadian rhythm, energy, metabolism, and sleep.
- Turn the diffusers in the family room and my office on and take my supplements. The Aroma Connect Wake-up Light Diffuser in on my nightstand and programmed for AM & PM, and the AromaConnect LunaMist is in my kitchen, also programmed via the app.
- Take LEAN or Balance & Burn (I rotate those) before breakfast.
- Before breakfast, I have a simple drink that helps me get a variety of fibers and plant compounds to support healthy blood sugar and help keep me feeling satisfied. I’m working up to only having two meals per day, but I’m not there yet. #goals
- 10-15 minutes on my vibration board like this one: https://amzn.to/4fJWPbF to get my lymph going.
- Breakfast is almost always around 30–35 grams of protein with healthy fats and fiber. No coffee before breakfast to keep my blood sugar from spiking.
Some of my favorites are:
- Eggs with cottage cheese
- Greek yogurt with chia seeds and berries
- Avocado
- Olive oil
- Leftover meat
- Lots of vegetables whenever I can
- After breakfast I walk on my treadmill for 10-15 minutes on a small incline. If I don’t have the time, I do around 50 calf raises while sitting at my desk.

- A little later, I have another plant-based drink that gives me steady energy and focus without the roller coaster I used to experience.
- Drink 1-2 HYDRATED per day, take FIT for building lean muscle which is so important for our metabolism and longevity, ENERGIZED after lunch, CALM in the evening and RESTORED before bed.
One more thing…
Next up, I’ll show you what’s actually in those two fiber drinks, why I chose them, and how they fit into everything we’ve been learning about metabolic health.
I think you’ll be surprised that it’s not what most people expect.
