Episode #66: Blake Houston – Committing to your Health and Wellness
In this episode I talk to Blake Houston – a holistic fitness and wellness personal trainer and an inspiring human being. Blake is a practitioner of a lot of the biohacks most of us just read about and so I wanted to pick his brain about these kind of stuff and mostly about his MINDSET!
In the episode we talked about mental toughness, the benefits of different kinds of workouts and nutritional intakes that aid a healthy lifestyle.
Yes we also talked about cold showers and he also gave the recipe of his bulletproof coffee.
So before we begin – just remember what they say – a healthy person has many dreams and wishes – especially us high achievers – but… when health is taken away – a person only has one wish – and that’s to be healthy.
So… I invite you to repeat the following with me “I commit to my Health!” OK let’s begin.
