Chapter Four, why do you feel exhausted even after a
(00:04):
full night's sleep? I'm going totell you something that took me
way too long to figure out realstrength isn't built during your
workouts. It's built during therecovery. I used to get this
completely wrong. For years, I'dcrush myself in the gym, chasing
pain like a badge of honour,never realising that relentless
hustle was actually sabotagingmy results. I believe more pain
(00:26):
equalled more gain. Soundfamiliar? The truth is, without
strategic recovery, you're justspinning your wheels. And if
you're an entrepreneur, wastedenergy means wasted
opportunities and lost incomeyou can't afford that you didn't
choose the entrepreneurial pathto feel constantly drained or to
wake up each day dragging yourbody through life. The
(00:48):
difference between thriving andmerely surviving is how well you
recover from your workouts andlife itself. That's what this
chapter is all about. Recoveryisn't downtime, it's uptime
fuel. Let me share a quick storywith you. Back when I first
started training hard, my lifewas consumed by long workouts,
running multiple multiple 10 ksand then spending nights out
(01:12):
partying, predictably, I'd wakeup exhausted, thinking it was
just part of being ambitious. Itwasn't long before I started
experiencing joint pain, brainfog and a decline in both
physical strength and mentalsharpness, my workouts felt
pointless because my body neverfully recovered. It wasn't until
years later, deep intoentrepreneurial life, I finally
(01:33):
realised that my relentlessroutine wasn't just hurting my
body, it was costing me 1000s inlost productivity and focus.
Scientific research consistentlyconfirms this overtraining and
under recovery, Spike cortisol,decreased testosterone, increase
inflammation and lower immunity.
A study published in the Journalof Sports sciences clearly
(01:55):
demonstrates that inadequaterecovery leads directly to
performance, decline, injury andchronic fatigue. I lived that
reality, and trust me, you don'twant to to why recovery matters
for entrepreneurs. Asentrepreneurs, our greatest
asset isn't capital, technologyor even talent. It's our energy
(02:16):
and clarity you simply cannotafford brain fog, burnout or
chronic stress. If your body isconstantly under recovered, your
business will suffer. But here'sthe good news, recovery is your
secret entrepreneurialadvantage. Proper recovery is
scientifically proven to boostcognitive clarity and
(02:38):
creativity, accelerate musclegrowth and strength, improve
hormone profiles, especiallytestosterone, reduce stress and
inflammation, enhancing overallhealth. All these lead directly
to increased productivity andfinancial success. Remember, a
healthier, stronger you is awealthier you think of a lion,
(02:59):
simple but efficient. He willput short, intense effort into
hunting and providing feedhimself first, then family so he
can recover and perform at hisbest. He will then rest, not
moving much until he has toperform again. This is nature
and basic instinct of the huntergatherer obviously more complex
(03:20):
with us humans. However, theconcept of short bursts of
intense work, rest and recoveryare the same. Think about it,
without proper recovery, you'reoperating at a fraction of your
potential. That fractiontranslates directly to lost
income, missed opportunities andcostly mistakes driven by
fatigue and burnout. Skippingrecovery doesn't make you tough,
(03:44):
it's financially reckless.
Conversely, when you prioritiserecovery, you're not just
feeling better. You're buildinga body that's ready to tackle
challenges head on. Thisresilience allows you to handle
greater business pressure,sustain high performance during
demanding periods, andultimately increase your
(04:05):
capacity to generate wealth. Thecarnivore entrepreneurs
framework for maximum recovery,let me lay out the
straightforward recoveryframework I've refined over the
years, combining my personalexperiences and the latest
scientific breakthroughs.
Principle one, prioritise highquality sleep. Nothing matters
more for recovery than sleep.
(04:26):
It's your body's primary repairmechanism. According to research
published in sleep medicinereviews, inadequate sleep
severely impairs musclerecovery, hormone production,
cognitive function and mood. Icherish my sleep quality. Now,
every night I aim for at leastsix to eight hours and a sleep
score on my smart watch of 80 orabove. My evening routine,
(04:51):
prepare for the next day. Closeout supplements, prepped, warm,
calming, drink and journal,round off the day, brush teeth
and wash. Face with warm water,stretch magnesium supplement and
chill with a little easy watchTV, guilty pleasure, but it
really switches my mind off.
This for me, ensures deep sleep,powerful recovery and a sharp
(05:12):
mind for the next day. Otherpoints to remember no food at
least three hours before bed andno caffeine or alcohol at least
six hours before bed. Principletwo, strategic stress
management. Chronic stressdestroys recovery. It raises
cortisol, reduces testosteroneand limits your body's ability
(05:33):
to repair itself. A landmarkstudy from the American
Psychological Association showedthat chronic stress directly
impacts brain function, decisionmaking and muscle recovery. I
didn't notice how stress canbuild up until I really got
myself into a good dailyroutine. My body got used to
both bad and good routines. Badroutines are usually based on
(05:55):
comfort and convenience in themoment, and initially shifting
to better choices isuncomfortable. I didn't notice a
bad routine day to day. However,I did when things have broken,
waking up, not able to breathein 2006 my back in 2018 and our
business in 2022, now I'm reallysensitive to something bad
(06:17):
interrupting my good routines.
For example, when I occasionallyhave a couple drinks with
friends or stay up a bit laterthan normal, I can feel the
difference in my body the nextday, even if it's just a little
bit however, when in a badroutine, I didn't feel a
difference at all. It's like Iwas numb to it. My body building
(06:38):
up a tolerance to these poorchoices I was making. How do you
manage stress? Dailymeditations, journaling, deep
breathing, cold plunges, sauna,light exercises, ie walking in
nature, strategic time outsthroughout your day. These
practices lower stressimmediately and profoundly boost
recovery. Principle three,active recovery and daily
(07:02):
movement. I used to thinkrecovery meant total rest, lying
on the couch, watching TV, bigmistake. Active recovery, low
intensity movement like walkingor stretching, increases blood
flow, accelerates healing andreduces stiffness. Rest wouldn't
be something I'd consider in thepast. Get up early. Gym, work,
(07:22):
more work, sometimes, gym again,sleep, repeat. A rest day for me
was not doing a strengthworkout. As I matured and looked
at Highly successful people,both in fitness and business, I
realised that rest happens inmany forms, and the highly
successful utilise a lot ofdifferent forms of rest
(07:43):
strategically. Rest and recoverycan be sleep, obviously, and
meditation. Time totally offwork, socialising with friends,
family, being totally presentwith them. Muscle recovery, Zone
Two, cardio, like walking,anything below 135 heartbeats
per minute time on your ownpeace and reflection, hot and
(08:05):
cold therapy, principle four,leverage cold and heat exposure.
Modern science shows coldplunges and sauna dramatically
enhance recovery. Cold exposurereduces inflammation, boosts
immunity and elevates dopamine,the feel good neurotransmitter.
Sauna, on the other hand,increases blood flow, reduces
(08:26):
muscle soreness and enhancesmood. A study published in
frontiers in Psychology foundregular sauna improves
cardiovascular function andrecovery rates significantly. I
have been doing saunas foryears, since 2002 I've always
got massive benefits fromsaunas. I feel clean, refreshed
and relaxed after a sauna. Morerecently, I got into cold
(08:48):
showers since 2003 and made acommitment to not shower unless
it was cold, and I mean thecoldest possible setting on the
shower for my 40th birthday,August, 2024 the kids, got me an
ice bath. It took me a couplemonths to actually set it up,
because I knew once I did, I'dneed to start using it
regularly. I knew ice baths werea big step up from a cold
(09:11):
shower. Since I set it up, Icommitted to having four to five
ice baths a week as the veryfirst thing I do in the morning.
I know that there are healthbenefits to ice baths, and it
doesn't matter what time of theday you do an ice bath to get
however, getting into an icebath at 4:45am,
does something profound to yourmental capacity. Four big
(09:33):
things. It's taught me how toovercome the thoughts in my head
when I need to you're in abitch. How to win big. Right
from the start of the day I am awinner. How to face your biggest
challenges, just fucking do it.

have health conditions or onmedication, consult your doctor
(10:59):
before taking any supplements.
This guide is not medicaladvice. Also do your own
research and always choose highquality supplements. Many
products are underdosed, loadedwith fillers or use cheap
ingredients. A low qualitysupplement isn't just a waste of
money, it could be doing moreharm than good. This is a

(15:29):
This is the super supplementstack I live by. I use it to
take control of my health,energy and performance as a
carnivore. Entrepreneur, LiveStrong. Think sharp, lead with
purpose. Next level, hydrogenwater. This one's not essential,
but if you want to operate at ahigher level, it's worth
(15:49):
exploring. I first came acrosshydrogen, rich water after
following Gary brecker's work.
He's a human biologist who workswith elite performers and high
level entrepreneurs. Whensomeone like that highlights a
simple tool to upgrade energy,focus and recovery, you pay
attention. So what's the deal?
Hydrogen water is regular waterinfused with molecular hydrogen
(16:11):
h2 a gas that acts as a powerfulantioxidant. Unlike most
antioxidants, hydrogen moleculesare small enough to cross the
blood brain barrier and work atthe cellular level, reducing
oxidative stress where itmatters most. The science is
there studies, including one inScientific Reports 2020, show
(16:34):
hydrogen water can help reduceinflammation, improve recovery,
boost ATP production, yourbody's energy currency and
protect against your cellsageing. You don't need it to
succeed, but it's a powerfuledge. I personally use it in the
morning and after training tosupport recovery, clarity and
performance throughout the day.
Just one note, don't go cheap onthis if you're going to try it,
(16:57):
invest in a high qualityhydrogen bottle from a brand
with strong reviews and verifiedresults. The cheaper ones
usually don't deliver enoughhydrogen to make a difference.
Think of this as a pro tool forentrepreneurs who've nailed the
basics and want that extra 1%addressing your concerns direct.
You might think I'm too busy forall this recovery stuff, or is
(17:20):
it really worth the extraeffort? Let me answer clearly
yes, recovery is not an optionalluxury. It's an essential. If
you truly want to dominate inbusiness and in life, you are
supposed to operate at yourhighest capacity. You can only
live this way and on your terms.
If you are a well oiled machine,your productivity, your health,
(17:43):
your financial success, they allhinge on your body's ability to
recover. Ignore recovery at yourperil, your carnivore,
entrepreneur. RecoveryChallenge. Here's a simple seven
day plan to implement thisframework immediately, daily.
Prioritise sleep six to eighthours, meditate in 15 minutes
(18:04):
and ensure adequate hydrationwith electrolytes and salts.
Daily movement, walk or gentlestretch 20 to 30 minutes each
day, cold and heat exposure,cold shower for at least one
minute, four times in morning ifyou can, and sauna twice if
possible. Nutritional focus,animal based, protein every
(18:24):
meal, and take the minimumamount of supplements listed
above, back your results. Noteyour energy levels, mental
clarity, physical recovery andmood improvements within just
one week. Results that go beyondthe physical. Entrepreneurs who
prioritise recovery don't justfeel better. Physically,
they thrive mentally andfinancially. Your body's health
(18:45):
directly fuels your mindclarity, productivity and
ultimately, wealth creation,which is the result that all
entrepreneurs are looking for.
The level of wealth neededdiffers from person to person.
However, my definition of anentrepreneur is this, an
individual who takes control oftheir financial life on their
(19:05):
terms. Your business is waitingfor you to show up stronger,
clearer and more energised. Stopleaving success on the table.
Embrace the power of optimisedrecovery. Welcome to the secret
advantage that separatesthriving entrepreneurs from
everyone else. Welcome torecovery the carnivore
(19:25):
entrepreneur. Way, if thisepisode resonated with you,
share it with someone who needsto hear it. You are a carnivore
entrepreneur. Live life how itwas supposed to be lived on your
terms with strength, energy andpurpose. I'll see you on the
next episode. You.
Chapter Four, why do you feel exhausted even after a
(00:04):
full night's sleep? I'm going totell you something that took me
way too long to figure out realstrength isn't built during your
workouts. It's built during therecovery. I used to get this
completely wrong. For years, I'dcrush myself in the gym, chasing
pain like a badge of honour,never realising that relentless
hustle was actually sabotagingmy results. I believe more pain
(00:26):
equalled more gain. Soundfamiliar? The truth is, without
strategic recovery, you're justspinning your wheels. And if
you're an entrepreneur, wastedenergy means wasted
opportunities and lost incomeyou can't afford that you didn't
choose the entrepreneurial pathto feel constantly drained or to
wake up each day dragging yourbody through life. The
(00:48):
difference between thriving andmerely surviving is how well you
recover from your workouts andlife itself. That's what this
chapter is all about. Recoveryisn't downtime, it's uptime
fuel. Let me share a quick storywith you. Back when I first
started training hard, my lifewas consumed by long workouts,
running multiple multiple 10 ksand then spending nights out
(01:12):
partying, predictably, I'd wakeup exhausted, thinking it was
just part of being ambitious. Itwasn't long before I started
experiencing joint pain, brainfog and a decline in both
physical strength and mentalsharpness, my workouts felt
pointless because my body neverfully recovered. It wasn't until
years later, deep intoentrepreneurial life, I finally
(01:33):
realised that my relentlessroutine wasn't just hurting my
body, it was costing me 1000s inlost productivity and focus.
Scientific research consistentlyconfirms this overtraining and
under recovery, Spike cortisol,decreased testosterone, increase
inflammation and lower immunity.
A study published in the Journalof Sports sciences clearly
(01:55):
demonstrates that inadequaterecovery leads directly to
performance, decline, injury andchronic fatigue. I lived that
reality, and trust me, you don'twant to to why recovery matters
for entrepreneurs. Asentrepreneurs, our greatest
asset isn't capital, technologyor even talent. It's our energy
(02:16):
and clarity you simply cannotafford brain fog, burnout or
chronic stress. If your body isconstantly under recovered, your
business will suffer. But here'sthe good news, recovery is your
secret entrepreneurialadvantage. Proper recovery is
scientifically proven to boostcognitive clarity and
(02:38):
creativity, accelerate musclegrowth and strength, improve
hormone profiles, especiallytestosterone, reduce stress and
inflammation, enhancing overallhealth. All these lead directly
to increased productivity andfinancial success. Remember, a
healthier, stronger you is awealthier you think of a lion,
(02:59):
simple but efficient. He willput short, intense effort into
hunting and providing feedhimself first, then family so he
can recover and perform at hisbest. He will then rest, not
moving much until he has toperform again. This is nature
and basic instinct of the huntergatherer obviously more complex
(03:20):
with us humans. However, theconcept of short bursts of
intense work, rest and recoveryare the same. Think about it,
without proper recovery, you'reoperating at a fraction of your
potential. That fractiontranslates directly to lost
income, missed opportunities andcostly mistakes driven by
fatigue and burnout. Skippingrecovery doesn't make you tough,
(03:44):
it's financially reckless.
Conversely, when you prioritiserecovery, you're not just
feeling better. You're buildinga body that's ready to tackle
challenges head on. Thisresilience allows you to handle
greater business pressure,sustain high performance during
demanding periods, andultimately increase your
(04:05):
capacity to generate wealth. Thecarnivore entrepreneurs
framework for maximum recovery,let me lay out the
straightforward recoveryframework I've refined over the
years, combining my personalexperiences and the latest
scientific breakthroughs.
Principle one, prioritise highquality sleep. Nothing matters
more for recovery than sleep.
(04:26):
It's your body's primary repairmechanism. According to research
published in sleep medicinereviews, inadequate sleep
severely impairs musclerecovery, hormone production,
cognitive function and mood. Icherish my sleep quality. Now,
every night I aim for at leastsix to eight hours and a sleep
score on my smart watch of 80 orabove. My evening routine,
(04:51):
prepare for the next day. Closeout supplements, prepped, warm,
calming, drink and journal,round off the day, brush teeth
and wash. Face with warm water,stretch magnesium supplement and
chill with a little easy watchTV, guilty pleasure, but it
really switches my mind off.
This for me, ensures deep sleep,powerful recovery and a sharp
(05:12):
mind for the next day. Otherpoints to remember no food at
least three hours before bed andno caffeine or alcohol at least
six hours before bed. Principletwo, strategic stress
management. Chronic stressdestroys recovery. It raises
cortisol, reduces testosteroneand limits your body's ability
(05:33):
to repair itself. A landmarkstudy from the American
Psychological Association showedthat chronic stress directly
impacts brain function, decisionmaking and muscle recovery. I
didn't notice how stress canbuild up until I really got
myself into a good dailyroutine. My body got used to
both bad and good routines. Badroutines are usually based on
(05:55):
comfort and convenience in themoment, and initially shifting
to better choices isuncomfortable. I didn't notice a
bad routine day to day. However,I did when things have broken,
waking up, not able to breathein 2006 my back in 2018 and our
business in 2022, now I'm reallysensitive to something bad
(06:17):
interrupting my good routines.
For example, when I occasionallyhave a couple drinks with
friends or stay up a bit laterthan normal, I can feel the
difference in my body the nextday, even if it's just a little
bit however, when in a badroutine, I didn't feel a
difference at all. It's like Iwas numb to it. My body building
(06:38):
up a tolerance to these poorchoices I was making. How do you
manage stress? Dailymeditations, journaling, deep
breathing, cold plunges, sauna,light exercises, ie walking in
nature, strategic time outsthroughout your day. These
practices lower stressimmediately and profoundly boost
recovery. Principle three,active recovery and daily
(07:02):
movement. I used to thinkrecovery meant total rest, lying
on the couch, watching TV, bigmistake. Active recovery, low
intensity movement like walkingor stretching, increases blood
flow, accelerates healing andreduces stiffness. Rest wouldn't
be something I'd consider in thepast. Get up early. Gym, work,
(07:22):
more work, sometimes, gym again,sleep, repeat. A rest day for me
was not doing a strengthworkout. As I matured and looked
at Highly successful people,both in fitness and business, I
realised that rest happens inmany forms, and the highly
successful utilise a lot ofdifferent forms of rest
(07:43):
strategically. Rest and recoverycan be sleep, obviously, and
meditation. Time totally offwork, socialising with friends,
family, being totally presentwith them. Muscle recovery, Zone
Two, cardio, like walking,anything below 135 heartbeats
per minute time on your ownpeace and reflection, hot and
(08:05):
cold therapy, principle four,leverage cold and heat exposure.
Modern science shows coldplunges and sauna dramatically
enhance recovery. Cold exposurereduces inflammation, boosts
immunity and elevates dopamine,the feel good neurotransmitter.
Sauna, on the other hand,increases blood flow, reduces
(08:26):
muscle soreness and enhancesmood. A study published in
frontiers in Psychology foundregular sauna improves
cardiovascular function andrecovery rates significantly. I
have been doing saunas foryears, since 2002 I've always
got massive benefits fromsaunas. I feel clean, refreshed
and relaxed after a sauna. Morerecently, I got into cold
(08:48):
showers since 2003 and made acommitment to not shower unless
it was cold, and I mean thecoldest possible setting on the
shower for my 40th birthday,August, 2024 the kids, got me an
ice bath. It took me a couplemonths to actually set it up,
because I knew once I did, I'dneed to start using it
regularly. I knew ice baths werea big step up from a cold
(09:11):
shower. Since I set it up, Icommitted to having four to five
ice baths a week as the veryfirst thing I do in the morning.
I know that there are healthbenefits to ice baths, and it
doesn't matter what time of theday you do an ice bath to get
however, getting into an icebath at 4:45am,
does something profound to yourmental capacity. Four big
(09:33):
things. It's taught me how toovercome the thoughts in my head
when I need to you're in abitch. How to win big. Right
from the start of the day I am awinner. How to face your biggest
challenges, just fucking do it.
How motivation is short lived,and the importance of
consistency and the disciplineI'm never motivated to get in

principle five, nutritionalsupport, protein and. Essential

(15:29):
This is the super supplementstack I live by. I use it to
take control of my health,energy and performance as a
carnivore. Entrepreneur, LiveStrong. Think sharp, lead with
purpose. Next level, hydrogenwater. This one's not essential,
but if you want to operate at ahigher level, it's worth
(15:49):
exploring. I first came acrosshydrogen, rich water after
following Gary brecker's work.
He's a human biologist who workswith elite performers and high
level entrepreneurs. Whensomeone like that highlights a
simple tool to upgrade energy,focus and recovery, you pay
attention. So what's the deal?
Hydrogen water is regular waterinfused with molecular hydrogen
(16:11):
h2 a gas that acts as a powerfulantioxidant. Unlike most
antioxidants, hydrogen moleculesare small enough to cross the
blood brain barrier and work atthe cellular level, reducing
oxidative stress where itmatters most. The science is
there studies, including one inScientific Reports 2020, show
(16:34):
hydrogen water can help reduceinflammation, improve recovery,
boost ATP production, yourbody's energy currency and
protect against your cellsageing. You don't need it to
succeed, but it's a powerfuledge. I personally use it in the
morning and after training tosupport recovery, clarity and
performance throughout the day.
Just one note, don't go cheap onthis if you're going to try it,
(16:57):
invest in a high qualityhydrogen bottle from a brand
with strong reviews and verifiedresults. The cheaper ones
usually don't deliver enoughhydrogen to make a difference.
Think of this as a pro tool forentrepreneurs who've nailed the
basics and want that extra 1%addressing your concerns direct.
You might think I'm too busy forall this recovery stuff, or is
(17:20):
it really worth the extraeffort? Let me answer clearly
yes, recovery is not an optionalluxury. It's an essential. If
you truly want to dominate inbusiness and in life, you are
supposed to operate at yourhighest capacity. You can only
live this way and on your terms.
If you are a well oiled machine,your productivity, your health,
(17:43):
your financial success, they allhinge on your body's ability to
recover. Ignore recovery at yourperil, your carnivore,
entrepreneur. RecoveryChallenge. Here's a simple seven
day plan to implement thisframework immediately, daily.
Prioritise sleep six to eighthours, meditate in 15 minutes
(18:04):
and ensure adequate hydrationwith electrolytes and salts.
Daily movement, walk or gentlestretch 20 to 30 minutes each
day, cold and heat exposure,cold shower for at least one
minute, four times in morning ifyou can, and sauna twice if
possible. Nutritional focus,animal based, protein every
(18:24):
meal, and take the minimumamount of supplements listed
above, back your results. Noteyour energy levels, mental
clarity, physical recovery andmood improvements within just
one week. Results that go beyondthe physical. Entrepreneurs who
prioritise recovery don't justfeel better. Physically,
they thrive mentally andfinancially. Your body's health
(18:45):
directly fuels your mindclarity, productivity and
ultimately, wealth creation,which is the result that all
entrepreneurs are looking for.
The level of wealth neededdiffers from person to person.
However, my definition of anentrepreneur is this, an
individual who takes control oftheir financial life on their
(19:05):
terms. Your business is waitingfor you to show up stronger,
clearer and more energised. Stopleaving success on the table.
Embrace the power of optimisedrecovery. Welcome to the secret
advantage that separatesthriving entrepreneurs from
everyone else. Welcome torecovery the carnivore

entrepreneur. Way, if thisepisode resonated with you,
share it with someone who needsto hear it. You are a carnivore
entrepreneur. Live life how itwas supposed to be lived on your
terms with strength, energy andpurpose. I'll see you on the
