Redefining Peak Health with Boomer Anderson

Boomer Anderson is not your typical health guru—he’s a former investment banker turned health optimization pioneer who got the wake-up call of a lifetime when he was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease at just 30 years old. Instead of accepting the standard “take a pill and come back in ten years” approach, Boomer went all-in on understanding what true health actually means. Today he’s the CEO of Troscriptions, building science-backed solutions for stress, sleep, focus, and immune function, and the driving force behind Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMe HOPe), a nonprofit that trains doctors worldwide to optimize for health rather than just manage disease. With a background that spans global finance, over 65 countries, and a relentless passion for challenging the process, Boomer brings the kind of real-world, research-backed insights that every entrepreneur and leader needs to hear. Takeaways: - Your Stress Bucket Is Probably Already Broken: Boomer introduces the concept of the stress bucket—a container for all the stress in your life from work, relationships, environment, and yes, even exercise. When that bucket overflows, what you think is helping you (like intense workouts) can actually accelerate damage. Leaders need to audit their total stress load before adding more to the pile. - Sleep Is the ROI Play You’re Ignoring: Getting just six hours of sleep has the same cognitive impact as drinking two to three beers. Pull an all-nighter and you’re operating like you’ve had ten to twelve. For entrepreneurs whose greatest asset is their brain, sacrificing sleep is literally leaving performance and money on the table. - Health Starts at the Cellular Level: Boomer breaks down his framework that true health is more than the absence of disease—it’s about getting your body’s basic cell optimized and balanced. When you bring biomarkers like hormones and nutrients back to their evolutionary optimal levels (ages 21 to 30), the symptoms that plague most executives—brain fog, low energy, poor sleep—begin to fall away. Sound Bytes: “The through line for everything that I do is challenging the process.” “Getting six hours of sleep a night versus eight is the cognitive impact of drinking two to three beers. An all-nighter is the equivalent of drinking ten to twelve.” “Your day doesn’t start with when you wake up in your morning routine. It actually starts with your evening routine.” Connect & Discover Boomer: Instagram: @boomersnh Website: troscriptions.com X: @boomersnh LinkedIn: @boomeranderson Nonprofit: homehope.org YouTube: Troscriptions ** 🔥 Ready to Lead Different & Win Bigger? 🔥 ** How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One by Mick Hunt isn’t just a book - it’s your blueprint to set up, stand out, and lead with confidence (even if no one ever showed you how).

[00:00] How did you get your website to look like that? Mine's so basic. Thanks. I just used Wix Harmony. What's that? It's Wix's AI website builder. You just tell it what you want, and it builds you a whole site. But you can also switch back and forth between chatting with AI and editing things yourself. Ah, so you're not stuck with whatever the AI gives you? Nope. I mean, the results are pretty nice, but you can jump in and mess with whatever. Oh, that's neat. Try it for free at Wix.com slash Harmony. [00:30] Take the next 12 seconds to unwind and enjoy relaxing music. [01:00] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another exciting episode of McUnplugged. And today we're joined by a transformative force in leadership and personal development. He is a true pioneer in blending peak performance with a holistic well-being approach. I am truly honored to join a guy whose parents live just 45, 50 minutes away. So please join me in welcoming the insightful, the groundbreaking, the incomparable, my guy, Mr. Boomer Anderson. [01:26] Bye. [01:28] You're listening to Mick Unplugged, hosted by the one and only Mick Hunt. This is where purpose meets power and stories spark transformation. Mick takes you beyond the motivation and into meaning, helping you discover your because and becoming unstoppable. I'm Rudy Rush, and trust me, you're in the right place. Let's get unplugged.

1:52-3:23

[01:52] Boomer, how you doing today, brother? [01:53] Mick, I'm doing so great, but that introduction was fantastic. I thank you for putting a smile on my face ear to ear. It's going to really bring out my chipmunk cheeks today. That's what I am here for, I promise you. [02:07] And ladies and gentlemen, I also have to let everyone know, [02:11] Boomer is going to be an expecting father, like literally any moment now. So if this episode is only 30, [02:18] three minutes, it is because I am making him get off [02:21] the episode and go tend to his wife who might be screaming in the background. But boomer, bro. [02:27] I hope that doesn't happen. But if it does and I sprint out, you'll know why. So, again, thank you so much for having me here. It's going to be a lovely conversation. [02:38] Bro, I'm the honored one. Boomer, you know, on this show, I always start by asking my guest about... [02:45] there because that thing that's deeper than your why is, [02:49] I call your because your true passion, your true purpose. And it changes from time to time, right? We all have different seasons. And so if I were to say, [02:57] Boomer right now. [02:59] You know, early 2026. What is your because, brother? [03:04] The through line for everything that I do is challenging the process. And if it's okay, I want to elaborate on that for a second. Absolutely. [03:12] So, [03:13] If you read into my background... [03:15] You'll see that I grew up [03:17] the son of both a yoga teacher and a person who worked in operations and finance.

3:24-4:56

[03:24] went into investment banking. [03:26] And then... [03:27] had one of these hockey stick type careers in investment banking. [03:32] I decided at the age of 30, looking around and seeing everybody doing my job was 60 years old, that I wanted to do something else. [03:39] left, and ironically, as soon as I resigned to serving out my resignation period, [03:45] And. [03:46] went in for a series of health tests. [03:49] And at that moment, which was sort of the pivotal moment in the transition into this health world, [03:54] I found out that I had cardiovascular disease at the age of 30. [03:58] Which is... [04:00] actually the leading preventable cause of death in the world. [04:03] And... [04:04] What? [04:05] The doctors at that time asked of me. [04:08] was to... [04:09] take a statin, which again, I have nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with the current healthcare system. I think it does some things well. [04:16] think health as its core [04:19] is something that, like, true health is not something that does well. But they asked me to take a statin and come back in 10 years, and that just didn't sit well with me, and it actually set me off. [04:29] on this exploration for [04:32] What is health? And so [04:34] That is really... [04:35] How. [04:36] the whole through line of challenging the process is kind of carried over from finance into health. [04:42] My first question after your recalls was going to be what was the catalyst of everything and [04:48] you know, because I do know your story. I'd love for you to go a little bit deeper, man. Take us to that moment of you sitting at the doctor and,

4:57-6:29

[04:57] And hearing that, [04:58] Um, [04:59] Because I personally have tried to put myself [05:04] in those shoes right because when you talk about hearing it [05:07] And then taking a moment to understand the weight of what you really were just told. [05:13] I don't think you gave that enough impact, man. So I'd love for you to take a moment and just go to that impact. [05:19] So the doctor, I was living in Singapore at the time and I've had [05:24] the [05:25] great fortune of living overseas for 14 years have been to [05:30] over 65 countries at this point. [05:32] and done business in many of them. [05:35] And I remember... [05:37] going into the doctor's office and nobody expected this to happen. [05:41] It was one of those things where... [05:43] I was doing CrossFit six times a week. [05:46] at that point. [05:47] my goal was to really look good naked, right? And so I had sub 10% body fat. [05:53] I wasn't really the archetype of what people think of when they think of cardiovascular disease. [05:59] And so, [06:00] You can imagine I'm sitting there at the doctor's office and the doctor's opening up these files. [06:05] Doctor clearly hasn't looked at it because I'm usually the patient that like a doctor can skip over because they know everything is fine. Right. And so he opens it up and he starts going through the test results. OK, OK, OK. And then that page comes up and. [06:21] I'll, I'll, I'll. [06:22] I'll bleep myself here, but his reaction, his name's Dr. Steven Tucker. He's still a good friend, and he runs a great clinic in Singapore.

6:30-8:02

[06:30] Opens it up flipping through. Okay. Okay. Okay. Looks at me. He's like, [06:34] grabs his hair. [06:36] And looks at it and goes, holy, you know, expletive. [06:40] you have calcium. And so for those people who [06:44] aren't aware of this test. It's a coronary CT scan for calcium. [06:49] or cardiac CT scan for calcium. Basically what it is, is a picture, it's a picture of your heart, [06:54] And you're looking for the presence of calcium in your heart, which means that [06:58] uh, [06:59] you have... [07:00] basically pierced the artery. [07:03] and caused an inflammatory reaction. [07:06] that has hardened over time, [07:08] and has narrowed your artery. [07:10] Right? And so the technical term for this is atherosclerosis. And so. [07:17] When he grabs his hair like this, and at that time I had hair, Mick. So it was like, I did one of these things where I was like, oh no. You followed what he's doing, right? Yeah. And so I don't know if people have ever experienced this feeling. I hopefully, if you've experienced this feeling, it's been in a good way, like going skydiving. But when the floor drops out and like everything kind of goes black in your peripheral vision, [07:41] And you're like, whoa. [07:44] Oh my God, what just happened here? [07:47] And... [07:48] My initial reaction was like, how is this possible? [07:53] Right. [07:54] Because I was doing everything that society told me to do, right? I was... [07:58] Exercising. [07:59] I'll get into why that might have been a problem.

8:02-9:39

[08:02] I was... [08:03] following whatever the diet of the day was. [08:06] N. [08:07] If you follow Men's Health magazine, [08:10] Which? [08:11] Don't get me wrong, like it keeps people interested in health and I'm grateful that they publish it. [08:15] But. [08:15] If you follow the diet and exercise, that's health right there. [08:20] But how did this happen? [08:22] Floor drops out. [08:24] peripheral blinders go on and for the next [08:28] Almost six months, I want to say. [08:31] I just went into anything and everything that I could find, starting with cholesterol and then kind of winding my way around health. It actually led me to actually start a podcast because I started a podcast. [08:46] at that time is called Decoding Superhuman. And in all fairness, Mick, I started that podcast because I didn't want to pay for consults, but I wanted to ask people all these questions, these experts around the world who are doing this [08:57] cutting edge research to try and figure out what went wrong. Because to me, [09:01] Nothing made sense. [09:03] And that was really that moment for me. It was just like, [09:07] Floor drops out. [09:09] Tunnel vision. [09:10] for at least the next six months. [09:13] And ultimately, it kind of led me to where I am today. [09:16] I love it. [09:17] And so you hit on something. I'm just going to keep going deeper with my guy. It's almost like we're teeing all of this up. So. [09:25] Ah, I can't wait to hear this boomer. You're telling me I don't have to exercise anymore, bro. You said exercise was part of the problem. So. [09:31] I need this to be tuned in because you brought up men's health and my best friend, celebrity chef Robert Irvine is graced to cover men's health.

9:40-11:10

[09:40] He's told me I got to start exercising more. Boomer. [09:43] Go ahead and tell me I don't need to exercise anymore, brother. [09:45] No, I can't tell you that. That's, unfortunately, like that would be the single worst health advice that anybody could give you is to like not exercise anymore. Because exercise itself has so many benefits, especially for mental health. It's one of those things that for... [10:02] for depression and for particularly like I sit in the entrepreneurial world. A lot of my friends are entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur level mental health is a very big discussion that needs to see the light of day more. And [10:17] That would be the worst recommendation in the world is to say don't exercise. [10:23] I was exercising too much. [10:24] So let's, let's, let's, uh, everybody who's listening to this, you can picture a bucket, right? And the bucket is. [10:31] You can pick your size of bucket and the size of the bucket is ultimately determined by your resilience, right? But it's the stress bucket and you put in some stress, right? [10:41] Stress can come from a job. Hopefully it doesn't come from a relationship, but it can. It can come from the types of foods you eat, the environment that you live in, that boss you have, etc. [10:51] And your job is to manage that bucket so that it doesn't overflow. [10:56] Exercise is also a stressor. [10:58] And so it creates an inflammatory reaction in the body, generally speaking, a good one. [11:03] But if your bucket is [11:05] is already full. [11:07] And at this time, Mick, I was having panic attacks and...

11:11-12:45

[11:11] uh, [11:12] issues that really showed that my stress bucket was more than full it was actually broken [11:18] And? [11:19] If your stress bucket is overflowing, then things like exercise, [11:24] become. [11:25] a different discussion. So ultimately one of my good friends, Marcus Philly, um, [11:30] He... [11:31] talks to people about [11:33] you know, actually the recovery equals the stimulus. [11:36] And so, [11:37] One of the things that I wasn't doing well then, [11:39] Diet exercise was fine. [11:41] wasn't sleeping well. [11:42] I was out drinking five nights a week. [11:44] I was traveling all around the world. [11:46] Switching time zones is certainly a stressor to the system. [11:49] Yeah. [11:50] And so when I add on to that CrossFit high intensity interval training, [11:55] Six times a week. [11:57] You can see how very quickly [12:00] My adrenals, my poor adrenals. [12:02] We're like throwing the white flag way before. [12:06] this cardiovascular disease came up. [12:10] Yeah. [12:11] Crazy, brother. [12:13] Crazy. [12:14] But everything is okay now, right? [12:16] Everything's fine. Yeah, so the interesting thing about cardiovascular disease is that I now have... [12:23] a marker that I can point to. [12:25] and [12:26] With cardiovascular disease, if you get calcium, it generally progresses at 15 to 20% per year. [12:31] If you do nothing. [12:33] And that's a good progression. [12:35] I'm... [12:36] stable at the levels where I was on that day. [12:41] And so what that means is that I've sort of halted it.

12:45-14:24

[12:45] cardiovascular disease is very, very hard to reverse. [12:48] And so I'm [12:49] working with some of the cutting edge scientists, researchers in the world to do that. [12:53] But I've halted it. [12:55] And I've now kind of [12:57] rebuilt my life. [12:59] around the idea that the recovery equals the stimulus. [13:05] That's great, brother. [13:07] Well, I don't know. [13:07] Again, learning a lot from you. [13:10] And now I want to talk about [13:13] Boomer Anderson, the leader, the change maker, all the great and amazing cool things that you're doing out here in the world. [13:22] So Boomer, like you're known for dissecting. And this is why I love you so much. [13:27] Dissecting complex ideas into actionable insights, right? [13:31] I think... [13:32] Today, a lot of people look to be a thought leader and it stays in thought. But you are a person who can take thought leadership. [13:40] take ideas and then give them out to people as actionable insights. [13:45] Could you take a moment? [13:47] and just share a few things. [13:49] about the work that you do, the work that you're doing, and why it's important for everybody that's watching or listening. [13:56] Real talk. I'm always on the move. Always jumping on some airport Wi-Fi or hotel network without thinking twice. Then it hit me. How exposed my passwords and banking information really were. And that is when I started using NordVPN. It locks down my data wherever I am, even on public Wi-Fi. It's the fastest VPN out there. No buffering when I'm streaming. And one account covers up to 10 devices.

So it goes back to that question that we talked about earlier. That sort of cruise that I've been on since of what is health? [15:00] And... [15:02] That... [15:04] podcast that I mentioned that I started. [15:06] it led me to meet a couple of doctors. [15:09] Dr. Ted Ococoso, Dr. Scott Schurr, [15:12] And around that time, [15:14] They were putting together some things and [15:16] It looked all really interesting and ultimately became our nonprofit. [15:21] So our nonprofit is Health Optimization Medicine in Practice. [15:24] There are... [15:25] We teach doctors and healthcare practitioners [15:28] how to optimize for health rather than treat disease. [15:30] One thing I said earlier was that healthcare... [15:34] itself right now is pretty good. [15:36] But it's really good at disease management. [15:40] If you are a type of person, [15:43] who's sitting there listening to this and saying, I have brain fog. My energy levels aren't great. I can't sleep very well. [15:49] You need another [15:51] role. You need another [15:53] coach, if you will. And so what we do is we train those people. And so this has been both from my learnings, but also Dr. Ted has been practicing health optimization medicine for 20 years with some of the leading political figures, both in the United States and the Philippines, as well as some political figures in Europe.

16:12-17:42

[16:12] as well as, you know, business owners, tycoons, those types of people. [16:16] And so that framework is, [16:19] answers the question, what is health? And so when people now ask me what is health, I say it's a simple algebraic equation. [16:27] A plus B equals C. [16:29] If I were to pull the sort of 8 billion people in this world, wherever we are right now, [16:36] Most people would answer, [16:38] which A in this equation is absence of disease. [16:43] That's great. [16:45] B, [16:46] is balance of anabolic and catabolic processes in the body. [16:50] You both grow and break down, but we want to make sure that those bodies processes are in balance. [16:56] and then C, [16:58] We say it's through the life cycle of the organism, but what that means is really... [17:02] for the age you are right now. [17:04] And then how do we get you, Mick, into optimal health or anybody listening to this? We take the age you are now. [17:11] Then we bring you back to what was the evolutionary optimized [17:16] human. [17:17] ages 21 to 30. [17:19] And so we look at, [17:20] things like biomarkers and so hormone replacement therapy is a huge thing right now. [17:26] But we take your hormones and we look at the entire hormone pathway rather than something like testosterone. [17:32] And we take those levels and we try and bring you back to those optimal levels between the [17:37] the ages of 21 to 30. [17:38] We do the same thing for other processes in the body and nutrients.

17:43-19:14

[17:43] your vitamin B, C, D, all of that. [17:46] And so what that does is it allows for, [17:50] your cell and we're just made up of trillions of cells. [17:54] to be optimized and balanced. And so then, [17:58] What actually happens is if you get the basic cell right, [18:01] Everything else that we call symptoms. [18:05] tend to fall away. And so that's really where health starts is by getting that basic cell right. [18:11] But, you know, in order to do that, [18:14] And to work with a Home Hope practitioner, Health Optimization Medicine and Practice's Home Hope, [18:19] A. [18:20] we usually say it takes about six to nine months to reach that level in the most diligent of patients. [18:27] But Mick, if I tell you it takes six to nine months... [18:29] to reach those optimal levels. [18:32] And then you say like, hey, Boomer, I'm stressed today. What do I do? [18:36] Or, I can't sleep today, what can I do? We needed a solution for that too. And so that's how we started Transcriptions. [18:43] And so what Trescriptions does, aside from being the number one donor to our nonprofit, you know, nonprofits need a support, right? [18:50] Transcriptions actually builds products that solve common issues that come through healthcare practitioners door. [18:57] stress, sleep, focus, who doesn't need help with focus these days? Immune system function. [19:03] And so, [19:04] What we're doing at Trescriptions is providing you that point in time solution so that you can work with your practitioner over those six to nine months to make the behavior changes.

19:15-20:46

[19:15] and some of those nutrient changes. [19:17] that are needed so that you can live that more healthy, more health-optimized life. [19:22] So that's really the sum of what I do. [19:24] I also see clients on the side because over this journey, I've had a lot of friends who [19:29] I call them the three F's, right? Friends, family, and freaks that have asked me like, "Hey, you've done this to yourself. [19:37] "Can you help me, too?" [19:38] And, you know, I love taking a really complex topic like biochemistry or even my previous life finance and saying. [19:47] All right, you want to talk about the DVO-1 of a swap, which is just an esoteric term that finance [19:53] traders like to use. Well, here, let me break that down for you into something that's a little bit more [19:58] digestible. [19:59] And so that's really become my life's work. [20:03] amazing brother and so proud of the work [20:07] That you're doing, but more importantly, the impact that you're making. [20:11] I don't want to gloss over that. I love giving people... [20:14] their kudos and their flowers when they're deserved and when they're earned. And you definitely have earned that, man, because... [20:20] You're a trailblazer in this. There's a lot of people that talk about [20:25] you know, what I'll call business wealth and business health. [20:29] but you're someone that's making sure that it's there. [20:33] And so I've wanted to ask you this question and I was going to send it to you on social media. [20:37] But I knew that we were going to have a conversation soon. [20:42] And it's for me, but it's also for entrepreneurs and CEOs like me.

20:47-22:17

[20:47] You know, we all have blind spots in the things that we do because we want to run hard and we've got. [20:53] problems to solve or revenue to go generate. [20:57] And we always have the intent to, [21:00] to have that slowdown moment. [21:02] But if you're like me, it rarely happens, right? Because the moment there's space on my calendar, it gets eaten up by something. And then I'm continuous in this loop. [21:12] What are some blind spots? [21:14] that me as a CEO, as an entrepreneur have, [21:18] And what's one thing that I can do to make sure that I'm paying attention to [21:24] my personal well-being, which then affects [21:26] my business health as well. [21:30] Such a good question. And... [21:33] I'm really glad you asked this. And I'm actually going to demonstrate this through... [21:38] ROI because... [21:40] you know, [21:41] Business leaders. [21:43] entrepreneurs. [21:45] can all sort of hone in on that topic, right? Yeah. [21:49] So, [21:51] within the business community. [21:52] when we're talking entrepreneurs executives. [21:55] Anybody is aspiring. [21:56] ambitious individual. [21:59] There are two common issues. [22:01] that are usually the biggest blind spots. [22:03] Got number one. [22:05] is sleep. [22:06] And number two, [22:08] is stress. [22:10] Number two usually fees number one. [22:12] And so... [22:14] Stress is ubiquitous.

22:18-24:10

[22:18] now [22:19] if I could get everybody to reframe stress as a good thing, [22:23] And an instant like this. [22:26] We would solve all the problems. [22:28] But, [22:29] A lot of us don't see stress as a good thing. And it's very hard. If I tell you to reframe something, it's very hard to make that instant change. Most people can't do that. [22:38] So there needs to be one, an acknowledgement of stress, but also [22:42] uh, [22:44] some practical steps to dealing with it. And so you asked me to give you one, I'm going to give you two because I have to answer a sleep question. [22:50] Number one is actually... [22:54] Ending the day and I talk about any other day in particular because it's going to tie into our sleep recommendation. [23:01] Ending the day with a gratitude practice. This is actually a mental reframe, right? Because, [23:07] You as a business owner and entrepreneur. [23:09] Thank you. [23:10] You are... [23:12] professional problem solver. [23:15] and every day you're getting hit with new events new things that cause cortisol spikes in your body [23:22] Yes, cortisol gets demoned as the stress hormone. [23:25] has a lot of very practical aspects to you. [23:28] But. [23:30] you need to kind of reframe that mindset especially going in the evening [23:35] So last hour before you go to bed, writing down five things that you're grateful for. [23:40] This is actually something that Dan Sullivan teaches, right? [23:42] You know what I realized? The hardest part about building a website isn't making it look good. It's getting what's in my head onto the page. But I've been playing with the new Wix Harmony editor, and I'm impressed. You can literally just tell it what you want, or if you're picky like me, jump in and move things around yourself. The nice part is you can hop between AI and hands-on editing so you end up with a site that actually looks the way you pictured it. Try it out for

24:12-25:43

[24:12] Hey, he's back. Who, hon? Sammy, the puppy I had when I was a kid. He's right there by the couch. Could this be related to his Parkinson's? What's Sammy doing? Wagging his tail. He wants to play. [24:31] Stay calm. I... I... I don't see him. You really don't? [24:37] No. [24:39] But I know you do. [24:41] This is the second time this has happened. Or is it the third? He came back to see me. That's the part that really breaks me. [24:58] That can mean seeing things that aren't real and believing things that aren't true. Symptoms can worsen over time, but are treatable. Learn more at mortoparkinsons.com and take the screener to see if it's time to start a conversation with your doctor. [25:13] that actually happen throughout the day. Five good events. And you may say to yourself like, hey, I can't think of five good events. Sure you can. [25:21] right? You're still breathing. That's one. Number two, there's probably, look around your house, there's probably an object there that you worked your tail off for, [25:33] and was a reward you know you have this beautiful background mick like [25:37] That is something that you worked your tail off for, that room that you're sitting in, right? You're grateful for that room.

25:43-27:13

[25:43] We can go through another three pretty easily. The place that you live in, the fact that you might have good relationships, the meeting that you had that day, something that you checked off your to-do list that day. [25:54] And there you have five. [25:56] Because why do I start with stress? Because [25:58] You start with stress an hour before time and all of a sudden I'm in a positive mindset going into sleep. [26:03] Now [26:05] Here's the ROI component of this. [26:07] They did a study a couple of years ago. [26:10] about, [26:11] The... [26:13] Benefits of sleep. [26:14] and cognitive performance. [26:16] You know, an entrepreneur is essentially a cognitive ninja. [26:19] or a cognitive athlete, right? [26:22] And they looked at the cost of sleep deprivation versus somebody drinking beer. [26:28] And so, [26:29] They looked at the brainwaves of these two people. [26:31] And... [26:32] It wasn't two people, it was actually done across a number of people. But they looked at the effects of sleep deprivation versus drinking beer. [26:39] Getting... [26:40] Six hours of sleep at night versus eight. [26:44] is the cognitive impact of drinking 2 to 3 12-ounce beers. [26:49] Imagine what that does to you. [26:51] For certain people, it actually unleashes a little bit of creativity. [26:54] but if i take that all the way down to an all-nighter [26:58] I didn't get to sleep last night, just as an example. [27:02] That's the equivalent of drinking 10 to 12 12-ounce beers. [27:07] Now, [27:09] There might have been a time in college where I... [27:12] could have done that.

27:13-28:48

[27:13] but I certainly wasn't functional. [27:16] And I certainly wouldn't want to run a business in that manner. [27:20] So why do we... [27:21] as entrepreneurs sacrifice our sleep so easily. [27:24] So if you can see the two recommendations that I'm making, it's actually this positive mindset going into sleep. And then the recommendation on the back of the science. So you now see the ROI from a cognitive standpoint of getting sleep. If I want to have my best brain. [27:38] I need to dedicate those eight hours. So the actual recommendation around sleep is let's flip your schedule. [27:45] around. [27:47] in the sense that your day, [27:49] doesn't start [27:50] with when you wake up in your morning routine. It actually starts with your evening routine. [27:55] actually called the sleep anchoring technique. And so, [27:59] putting into your schedule, [28:00] This is my hour wind down time. It starts with this gratitude. I perhaps... [28:06] mix in some chamomile tea, maybe I take some Tro-Z with this. [28:10] Maybe I'm reading a book that is... [28:13] not super, um, [28:16] cognitive load like you're not studying quantum physics at night you're reading something that's more fiction [28:22] And you're using that to anchor your day. [28:24] And then your day really starts with sleep. You get those eight hours and then you as the entrepreneur, [28:29] go out and just absolutely rock the world because your brain is at its best performing state. [28:34] Boomer, man. [28:35] I feel like we've only been talking for a couple of minutes and I know we got to we got to wrap up. [28:40] And we should probably win... [28:43] the newborn is arrived and settled, we should probably do part two.

28:48-30:24

[28:48] Because I have several more questions and you're giving us a masterclass. [28:53] Uh, [28:54] in our personal health and our business health as well too and it is definitely needed bro like [28:59] I want to thank you for the time that you've given us.
