In this episode of Chasing Greatness radio Chase shares his top 4 biohacks that work Universally for almost everybody.

4 Biohacks that Work for Everybody

1) Meditate and/or do Breathwork in the morning before checking your Phone: There are 3 reasons why this is so Valuable.

• Our brains our most refreshed after sleep. Using this time to connect with God/Universe will bring you a sense of peace before entering into the fray of the work day.
• Based on our circadian rhythm our cortisol is highest in the morning. Because of this we want to be selective about raising our cortisol even more. Checking our phone raises cortisol.
• We want to train our minds to be able to deal with anything and everything that the day will bring. Meditation is the #1 way to do this.

2) Sprint Fast / Lift Heavy Weights: The most effective way to train is based on your specific goals but for the majority of people who want to get as shredded and as lean as possible there is no better way than sprinting fast and lifting heavy weights.

3) Work in Ultradian Rhythms: While the exact work-to-rest ratio depends on the demands of the job and individual preferences, the overall theme is clear: alternating between blocks of 50 to 90 minutes of intense work and recovery breaks of 7 to 20 minutes enables people to sustain the physical, cognitive, and emotional energy required for elite performance.

4) Take a warm shower before bed: A great day starts the night before. This means that you really want to prioritize and optimize your sleep. A simple and powerful way to do this is to take a warm shower before bed. Taking a warm shower before bed is going to lower your body temperature. A lower body temperature is a key measurable factor in getting a quality night of rest.
