The Morning Routine for Peak Performance - Arthur Brooks

The discussion centers on creating an evidence-based morning routine to maximize well-being and productivity. The guest details a personal protocol that begins before dawn with physical activity, recommending a device-free walk outside to awaken the right brain hemisphere and foster a sense of meaning. This is followed by religious practice for transcendence and alignment of soul and body. The routine incorporates creatine monohydrate and electrolytes before introducing caffeine for focus rather than waking up. A protein-rich breakfast of whey protein, Greek yogurt, berries, and nuts aims to provide sustained dopamine release, mimicking the effects of ADHD medication for enhanced concentration and creative output.
