The 6 pillars of health make up the foundation of our healthy routine - water, nutrition, sleep, exercise, mental health, and community.

Over two years ago we released our original "The 6 Pillars of Health" episode... things have evolved so much since then. Today we're sharing our updated version of The 6 Pillars of Health (version 2.0).

Master these 6 pillars and you'll have a solid foundation for your healthy routine.

In this episode, we discuss:

Harvesting your own spring water
You should definitely invest in a shower filter
Coffee and tea can lead to dehydration
Over consuming water while you eat is bad for your digestion
A starting point for how much water you should drink in a day
Just eat real food - JERF
We're fans of high quality fat
Experimenting with new leafy greens
Processed foods vs. packaged foods
Fermented foods boost your gut health
4 supplements we should all consider
Wild foods and sea vegetables
Medicinal mushrooms and health promoting herbs
Sleep impacts everything
Improve your sleep by addressing your senses
The importance of going to bed and waking at the same time each day... even on weekends
Find an exercise you LOVE and do that
Move your body throughout the day
It's possible to overexercise, especially if you're burnt out
Get specific with your fitness goals
Meditation made easy

You become like the 5 people you surround yourself with
