Before You Go

Thank you for listening to this conversation with Jessica.

A quick plug. If you’re in search of vibrant health, one area that often gets overlooked is getting quality shut-eye.

It would be great if we could all turn off technology after sundown, but in real life it doesn’t always work out that way.

So here are a couple of quick things that you could try.

Number one, thankfully, after many years of this, there are a lot of apps or even built-in modes for PC’s, Macs, Androids, Apple phones, and the rest of it, that pull out the worst type of blue light after dark.

And so sometimes it’s called night mode or dark mode, there are different apps that can do this automatically, like f.lux for desktop and other platforms.

Look into enabling that mode deep in the setting somewhere on your different devices, your phone, your tablet. Your desktop and portable computers can all do this at this point.

So that can really help improve your sleep, reduce eye strain, and much, much more. So look for those options, make sure that they’re enabled.

And then in addition to that or instead of that as well, you can also look into blue-blocking glasses and make sure that they’re blocking the right wavelengths of light

Because there are a lot of cheapo knock-off versions out there now, but we’re really happy to say that we teamed up with a group of specialists to create our very own blue-blocking glasses called WildRx.

If you’re new to blue blockers, please check out the daytime variety yellow lenses. In 9 out of 10 cases, most people will want to start there with the yellow lenses.

But if you are more advanced and you want the campfire effect, the red lenses for after dark are really excellent. I use these a lot of times in the morning when I wake up before the sun is up.

I like to be on my synthesizer and keyboard, which is attached to a computer, playing all the instruments.

Looking into the monitor when it’s that dark, it really does cause me a lot of eye strain. So I like using these for intense moments like that.

But most of you want to start probably with the yellow lenses.

So if you’d like 10% off and to be one of the very first people to try WildRx, use the promo code YOUROCK for 10% off your entire order.

Please go check it out at WildRx.com, and don’t forget to use the code YOUROCK to save 10% off.

I really hope you like them. And don’t forget to write me, let me know how you like the yellow lenses or the red lenses, because they are quite different and quite unique. I hope you dig them.

And by the way, are you frustrated with the lack of healthy sports drink options out there?

When it comes to electrolytes, the popular drinks on the market actually have low amounts of electrolytes and miss the mark on the optimal ratio that your body actually needs. Plus, they’re almost always packed with junk like corn syrup, artificial colors, and other suspect ingredients, often containing over 35 grams of sugar in a single serving.

You shouldn’t have to slurp down a sugar bomb to replenish a few electrolytes.

So if you’re looking for a recharge after that monster workout or a kick-start first thing in the morning, I’m happy to say that my buddy Robb Wolf and the good folks over at LMNT have perfected the electrolyte drink.

With the ideal ratio of electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, citric acid, and more, along with a bit of natural flavor and stevia leaf extract, you’re getting all the goodness to restore your body without any sugar, fillers, or dodgy ingredients.

LMNT electrolytes come in individual grab and go packets that mix easily in water, so you can get a pick-me-up wherever you are.

And for a limited time, Rob is giving away LMNT Electrolyte Sample Packs for FREE to Fat-Burning Man listeners, so you can try it for yourself.

To claim your sample pack for free, which includes 8 different flavors of the full-size individual serving packets, you just have to pay a small fee for shipping. Otherwise it’s on the house.

Yes, Claim My FREE LMNT Sample Pack at DrinkLMNT.com/wild

You only need to pay for shipping, and the 8-pack is otherwise 100% free.

You’ll get a total of 8 different varieties to try, including orange, raspberry, citrus, watermelon, lemon habanero, mango chili, chocolate, as well as the unflavored option.

So once again, just go to DrinkLMNT.com/wild to collect your free electrolytes. I look forward to hearing how you like it.
