Most people start their day reacting to the world. The elite? They engineer their biochemistry, identity, and structural systems before the world gets a chance to interrupt them. In this episode, we break down the science, structure, and system of morning priming — a method used by Olympic teams, $100M founders, and elite operators to dominate under pressure.
This isn’t breathwork for vibe.
This is nervous system optimization for survival, decision speed, and power.
⸻
You’ll learn:
🔥 Why your nervous system wakes up in chaos — and how to redirect it
🧠 How priming spikes dopamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine before your first meeting
👣 How structural activation (foot-to-core sequencing, joint CARs) hardwires confidence before your first move
💬 Why identity repetition isn’t fluff — it rewires your Reticular Activating System to filter your day for dominance
🚫 What happens if you skip priming — and how that shows up in your deals, your decisions, and your reactions
⸻
We break down the same principles used by:
✔️ UFC champions visualizing during cortisol peaks
✔️ Arsenal’s neuro-priming system before match day
✔️ Tony Robbins’ RPM focus trigger
✔️ Olympic sprinters activating fascia and identity pre-race
⸻
🎧 Listen if:
– You’re tired of hoping you’ll show up strong
– You’re done letting your emotions control your execution
– You’re ready to train your nervous system to perform on command
