You must first establish a strong foundation of health. The cornerstones of optimal health must be established and maintained to optimize physical and emotional wellbeing, build a strong immune system, and maintain a healthy body composition.
What are the foundation stones of health?
(This list is not exhaustive)

– You must prioritize your circadian biology (biological clock system) and get sufficient sleep
– You must move your body and engage in consistent exercise (preferably strength training).
– You must balance your overall stress environment so that you maintain a balanced nervous system
