Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it! I'm super excited to share my latest health obsession with you guys. It's called Metabolic Daily by Pendulum. Metabolic Daily is a powerful multi-strain probiotic that really improves your metabolism, reduces your sugar cravings, breaks down carbs more efficiently, and sustains your energy. I've been taking metabolic daily for a few months and it's unbelievable the results I've seen. Not only do I never struggle with my cravings, but I'm seeing a huge improvement in my body composition from breaking down carbs more effectively. I love Penelon because they are really disrupting the probiotic market

with clinically studied strains that aren't available anywhere else. They were founded by PhD scientists and are backed by the Mayo Clinic and Halle Berry, who recently became their chief communications officer because of the results that she's seen. They're the only company with, I think I'm pronouncing this correctly, it's called Acromansia, a next-generation strain that's called the keystone strain for gut health. You can get it as a single strain or in metabolic daily.

Oh, do you have a, whatever.

You don't have any other foils. Like, it doesn't count as much. No, I was gonna say with one of my favorites, period. But also my favorite foil, no, and my foil. Just so happens to be that my foil is also one of my favorite people. I love you, I love you. That's what I mean.

Guys, I told Jen earlier I want to get like a wind up action figure doll with just like all of her favorite sayings in there because first of all Jen's a big ego booster, but she's also like really good at like these hilarious sayings. She's got these little like really funny sayings. I don't even know, hell in a hand basket. You remember Hell in a hand basket? Just so good. I don't know.

That's like not just my saying. I feel like it's been around. That just kind of shows how old I am. But you know all of them, you know, I've heard all the things to use them, but you use them like you got them in your repertoire. You know, you pull them out. Gosh, I feel like I talk like an old person. Like I talk with them like 77 years old or 107. It's really kind of sad. Vintage. I am kind of vintage, but I think I was also vintage when I was like 14. Yeah, you're slay- yeah, for sure. Because you're not actually that old, but you use slang as if you are like in your 70s. But it's good slang. It's fun slang. Thank you. Like it's good saying. Oh, thanks. All right, you guys here another

episode, by the way, if you guys can, it would be so amazing if you guys could comment and leave reviews because it helps the algorithm. I'm trying hard in one of my New Year's resolutions, I should say, is to try and be more present with YouTube as a business New Year's resolution. Really focus on my YouTube because that's what they say. That's what they say. That's what all the young people are telling me to do. And so with that being said, maybe you guys can help me because part of my whole platform is asking for what you want, right? And now I'm asking you guys to help me by leaving reviews, comments,

and get that algorithm like churning a little bit more. So please do that. That's a little, that's a side comment. But today we're going to talk about something that I think is so interesting and it is, there is a paradigm shift. There's a paradigm shift here. The biggest paradigm shift. I'm going to tell you about it. It's not mindset. We all hear so much about mindset, mindset, mindset, but here's the paradigm shift. The most important thing is not your mindset.

It is your health. Health is actually first because yeah, it is. And I'm going to explain to you why. Because health, if you don't have health, you have nothing, but it goes physical, mental, and then business. Because once you start changing your body, your mental just is on a different page. You're literally like, it's a, it's a, you become physically stronger, you automatically become mentally stronger, mentally more tough, much more resilient.

It really does start with the physical because you see, you feel it's like an actionable thing that you're feeling yourself doing. It changes your mindset. It changes your mentality. It really is a, it's a difference. Like I think people are, so the word of 2023 and 2022 is mine, 2021 has always been this hashtag of mindset. But a lot of times people don't even know

how to change that mindset. So they stuck and instead of being stuck I'm going to give you a very actionable thing to create real mental resilience and that is changing and working on your physicality. That is focusing on your health, focusing on the habits that you do to be healthier daily. And that will create a tougher, better mental resiliency. And then third is your business, because you will approach your business very differently. If you basically reverse engineer it by focusing on your health, which is your physical, that will turn into your mental, that will eventually change and translate how you work and deal with business. I love that. The body is your literal tool. Like all of these things that your mind only

comes from your body. If your body can't work, then what can you even do? Right. It's so empowering to physically feel better. The most empowering. And I think like I know that I talk about this like in different ways and I focus on different pieces. But at the same time, fundamentally at the foundation, the core of what I always talk about is the physicality, the fitness of it, because I do believe it is the foundation where everything comes from. And if you don't feel healthy, you really don't perform as good as you would in every area of your life. When you feel physically strong, you show up differently. Your relationships are different. Your conversations are different.

Your self-esteem is different. Everything that you do, how you show up in the world, your mannerisms change. And so giving someone something that's actionable, that's measurable, and that you can actually do. Anybody and everybody could work out a little bit more and focus on their health a little bit more. And we are in 2024. We're right in there where everyone has these New Year's resolutions or trying to change things. The top five resolutions, number one is always fitness, you know, number two is finance. We went through all of these in another episode. But I will say that if you actually

follow through and create daily habits to really make health your number one goal. I'm going to basically, you're going to make health be your number one resolution to help. Like let's just say I want to improve my health and I'm going to do it by exercising X amount of days for X amount of time. I'm going to make three meals at home weekly that I cook myself. And that way you can really see what you're eating. I'm going to increase my water intake. Like be very precise and deliberate

and create these things to create your daily habits that will improve your health, that will improve your mind, that will improve your business. They all work hand in hand. Yeah, yes. I think that also, by the way, longevity of the weightlifting that affects your mind. I've been telling my dad this nonstop, like he needs to start lifting purely because that actually does create that longevity in your mind to be able to stay sharp for longer. So even if you don't think of it like now, okay, your mind is sharp, whatever, even if

you don't work out, it actually will be 10x the sharpness. And also just in terms of like, in the future, do you want to maintain this, then you have to also maintain the body to be able to do that. Well, I think I think weight training, strength training is so crucial for so many different things. I think it's very important as you age for sure for your lean muscle mass. That's a whole different conversation. But I will say, again, if you are in terms of how that really reflects on this conversation that if you start strength training and feel stronger, and you end up feeling stronger physically, it will make you feel stronger mentally. And that's why weight training and not to mention for bone health and all that other stuff which is a whole other

No, but like for your brain. For your brain. For your brain a hundred percent connects. So it's like even if it might make you feel good it literally will change your brain like your brain chemistry will improve with and your memory or everything will improve significantly with actually training with weight training. It's like there's studies on it it. Yeah, there's a lot. But I think at this point, what I'm trying to tell everybody is when they focus on their their health, and the physicality part of it, that will play a big instrumental role in your overall mentality and your mindset. So without

just kind of just blankly saying mindset, mindset, I'm taking it back a little bit further into focus on your health and your mindset will follow. And then your business will follow. And we'll do a whole other podcast on all the benefits of strength training because as you all know, I'm a big advocate for it and of all the benefits. But at this point, find something that you like to do and then do it a

measurable amount of times a week and start incorporating it, integrating it into your life. And that is the paradigm shift that I really wanted to kind of talk about. I want to take a quick break from this episode to thank our sponsor OneSkin. If you're tired of spending countless dollars on skincare that doesn't end up delivering the anti-aging results you want, I'm totally with you. And this is because too many companies market their skincare as anti-aging without any evidence or studies to prove it.

But this is why I like OneSkin, because all their products are formulated with O-S-O-1. It's the first ingredient scientifically proven to reverse skin's biological age at the molecular level. In fact, in a 12-week clinical study performed by a third party, OneSkin's O-S-O-1 face was clinically validated to strengthen the skin barrier and improve skin health biomarkers, leading to diminished visible lines of aging.

It does so by switching off sentient cells associated with aging. I've seen dramatic improvement in my skin, and the signs of aging have practically diminished. Well, not completely, but you know what I mean, by using OneSkin. It honestly, the results have actually been pretty remarkable.

So if you want to buy skincare that actually works and provides you with the anti-aging benefits you're looking for, you should try OneSkin for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed. Try it for yourself now by heading over to oneskin.co and use code HUSTLE15 for 15% off your entire order. Do you ever save decisions for a post-workout like mind space mindset? Like any big decisions in life?

Sometimes I'll do that and I find it really fun yeah well I always this is actually what happens is that I get my best ideas when I am working out yeah so if I do have a big life decision make like you're saying I figure it out while I'm working out yeah because I have time to myself it's a you know what it is also? It's a lot of me time, right? Like, like I don't love, I'm not a big person who loves to work out with other people. I know having an accountability partner is a really big thing for some people.

I don't need that motivation myself to get my ass to work out because I've been doing it for so long. And it's, it's become so ingrained in who I am that now if I don't do it, and this will happen to you too, if you're just starting it eventually, it becomes so second nature and part of who I am when I don't do it. I feel off and I feel weird.

So I don't need that piece. So I use it as really like kind of like therapy in a way where I literally can like think through some of the, the troubles I have in my life or like the decisions I have to make and some of my greatest, like personal decisions and business decisions and all the other things happen because I have that time to myself where I can actually like go through in a

real way, like what I need to do and what would be the best outcome. So if not for any other thing, again, the amount of like benefits you get beyond just the physicality that happened by just doing it for the physical reasons is just so off the charts, you know, in terms of there's too many to even talk about. But that's why I really want people to focus on. I want the focus to be as on your health, as the crux of what is important, and so many other things will fall into place

when you have that in check. True. You know what, people should try. So this is my favorite thing, is saving a hard text message for like after a workout to answer. Cause you know, I'll get something maybe like at nighttime or whatever that I just, oh, I'm angry or whatever. I'm going to respond. I don't know. It won't be good.

And then I'll just save it for the next morning after my workout and I'll revisit the text and the response is just tremendously better. Well, also because like, yeah. And also because it like is a mood enhancer and it changes how you, like I was saying earlier, it's how you show up in the world, how you respond to people, how you react. All of those things start to shift and change once you start putting other, like changing your priorities and creating a structure that's a little bit maybe different than what you originally did, right?

If I put physicality on the top of my pyramid, then my mental, then my business, right? And you start doing it that way, you will 100X your life in all the ways, right? But you have to start somewhere. And you can't get to a strong mindset or discipline and all those things and productivity and happiness and all these like buzzwords by not doing the thing, the first step. And the first step is taking ownership and control of your health and your life.

And what better time to start than now, right? Yeah. So start, because if not, you'll be missing out. And we talked about it. Yeah, you don't wanna miss out on this good stuff. Yeah, you don't wanna miss out on this. You don't wanna miss it. I don't know what order we're putting this up,

so I just wanna make sure that you guys start. Focus on your health, focus on your physical, because with that, your mental will come, the mental mind shift the mentality And then the business will shift and change for the better I promise and let me know in my comments down below or the comments not my comments the comments what you think Do you agree? Do you disagree? Do you already do this? Have you started to do this? Are you gonna try? Let me know and get

back to me and then we can we can evaluate. Anything else you want to add? I think that's it. Go get it guys. Go start. Go get it.
