KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Changing the words that we use changes our mindset, changes our state of mind, and changes the way we think about everything.
• If we look at every single day as a stack of something to support our nutrition, hydration, activity, sleep, stress, mindset, and connection, we will experience optimal health.
• A healthful habit starts as discipline. Take the steps that will make the biggest difference for you.
• Habit stacking is the idea that we add something new to something that already exists, something that’s already a habit that happens already.

QUOTES:

• [6:39] “I like to say ‘biohacks are often stepping over $100 bills to pick up pennies’, cause the hundred dollar bills are these fundamentals that if we don’t have those in place, we’re not really going to make progress.” - Jenn Trepeck
• [10:09] “Optimal function means that every system is functioning well and supports the function of all the other systems in the body. From that point, your biohack could be amazing. But if we’re hoping the biohack is going to allow us to eat french fries and cookie dough all the time, we sort of have a misplaced understanding of how this works.” - Jenn Trepeck
• [18:19] “One of my mentors said the other day, a healthy metabolism is earned. Muscle is an expensive tissue because you work for it.” - Jenn Trepeck
• "It's not about the same thing every day, it's about a 360 degree approach to health, 365 days a year." - Jenn Trepeck
• [45:10] “Biostacking is about taking the steps that will make the biggest difference for each of us. I think the habits are the shortcut. So I invite you to biostack over biohack. Stack the foundation, stack the bricks.” - Jenn Trepeck
