One way to stack the deck in favour of the highest quality sleep experience is to craft the perfect restoration routine.

A routine is a series of actions done repeatedly.

Not all routines are helpful, or move you towards a predetermined goal, they’re simply routines due to repetition.

You’ll see routines, even rituals, a more intentional form of routine, among many high achievers across a variety of professions.

What makes routines so impactful is the ability to automate them and require little to no willpower.

This makes consistency easier and as such, the opportunity for a maximum return even more likely.

On today's episode of Life By Design I shared my Perfect Restoration Routine in hope it would spark you to do the same!

What I Covered:

• A 4 step process to creating a routine. This can be applied to anything, not just sleep!
• How to best prepare your body to maximize sleep quality and set the stage for productivity.
• What are the nutrient needs involved to enhance restorative sleep?
• The two additions I made to my sleep hygiene in the past 6 months that have been making a surprising and positive impact.

Salt is bad for you!

Right?

Or is it?

Now I'm confused.

That's OK...

Most of us have been convinced that salt consumption is something that must be restricted at all costs.

Too much salt increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, damages the kidneys and will lead to early death.

That's scary!

But what is the truth?

Have we been told a lie?

It depends...as always.

On today's episode of Life By Design we talk about salt.

What I Covered:

• Using research done on "sick people" is not entirely applicable to healthy people.
• Why do most heart and stroke associations restrict sodium intake to such extreme levels?
• What is the purpose of sodium in our body?
• How much salt is the right amount of salt?
• Who should restrict their salt intake?
• What's the best type of salt to consume?
