At Upgrade Labs, our mission is to help you reach your health and vitality goals in minimum time.  Here are five essential tips from our founder Dave Asprey to kickstart your health and wellness journey every morning from the comfort of your home:

1. Sunlight Exposure: Focus on your breath and gratitude while enjoying 15 minutes of natural sunlight. This helps to set your circadian rhythm.
2. No Cellphone or Social Media: Give yourself at least 60 minutes in the morning without your cellphone, or social media. You can use this time to practice gratitude, take a quick walk barefoot in the grass, and hug your friends, kids, or pets.
3. Danger Coffee: Wait at least 60 minutes after waking up to enjoy your caffeine. Kickstart your metabolism and focus with Dave’s signature blend of coffee with added minerals which is designed to fuel your body and mind. Why wait 60 minutes, you might ask? You want to give your adrenals time to regulate and raise your cortisol levels naturally before stimulating them with caffeine.
4. Incorporate Daily Movement: Even simple, practical exercises are easy to integrate into your daily routine, promoting mobility and reducing pain. This can include a brisk morning walk (hopefully barefoot in the grass), dancing in the kitchen, or stretching as you get out of bed.
5. Cold Shower Finish: End your shower with cold water on your head and chest. It helps to balance hormones, wake you up, activate the Vagus nerve and help with mood.

Have an amazing day!
