Thank you you for all your protocols! Morning sunlight has truly changed my life. Also thank you for taking that time to comment! Look forward to the HLP every week 🙏🏼
Most fitness UA-camrs: I did this boring 30 day challenge and nothing changed. Keltie: I did eight 3-year long challenges at the same time while also running every day, going to every fitness class in Vancouver and working to improve my mental health… BOSS! ❤
For everyone wondering; AG1 has been proven to not have high enough doses to actually aid in your microbiome. Unfortunatly you should not buy this, unless you really have an access amount of money, because it is also super expensive.
SUMMERY OF THE HABITS : - cold exposure (11 min/week) (2-4 sessions 1-5 min each) - run zone 2 (150-180 min/week) - watch sunset - sleep in a cold room - morning sunlight (30-60 min of being up) - double breaths - caffeine delay - giving up drinking - heat exposure, sauna - time blocking - stretching (30 sec each muscle group) PS : I love your videos !! They really inspire me to get out of my comfort zone
Honestly, his podcasts have changed my sleep. Especially watching the sunsets while on my walk. I walk nice and fast so two in one. Then I have a shower and no phone before bed. We have our radiator turned off in the bedroom. Still haven't braved the cold water yet. I live 20 mins from the sea and still haven't swam during winter. Sending lots of love form Ireland 🇮🇪
@@KeltieOConnor yes definitely! Not corny at all, sleep in so important 🙏 have you read/listened to "why we sleep" by Matt walker? Excellent book on sleep
Be careful with swimming in the sea in winter! There are 30-year-olds in my area who decided to do cold dips in the ocean in winter and died as a result. I've learned from locals who do it properly that you A) never go alone, and B) start early (around September) and regularly do it through the winter so you are used to the temperature changes. You can probably find a local group to go with so if something bad does happen (like a heart attack) someone will be there to cal 911, but honestly you might want to just stick with cold showers.
walking is the way to go. doesnt stress your heart for long periods. wont ruin your joints so you are crippled in older age. but don't shock your heart by jumping into cold water... its literally one of the worst things you can do. warm is good! why constrict your blood vessels?

I love how you implemented one change at a time for a full month - I know it's super simple but I think it's genius. Whenever I see information about sleep hygiene or healthy habits that I KNOW will be good for me, I feel overwhelmed b/c it's a long list and I want to start everything at once. But it makes so much sense to break it all into smaller chunks, pick one point, and start there. Anyway, loved the vid! Thanks!
Exactly this. So easy to consume concentrated advice and lists of tips but it needs to be lived and experienced over time, and incorporated incrementally to have any useful traction.
Sleep & mental health are definitely related. If I wake up feeling rested with a contentment or positive mindset and a good body feeling, I call it a good sleep. If I get no sleep one night, but consciously relax my body completely (this happens on Sunday nights sometimes) and I feel ok at wake up time, I just move through it with care and the best attitude possible. It happens. If I wake up feeling fatigued or fragile physically, or feeling prickly or critical of something or someone in my life, I consider whether my normal routine will be ok. If I'm really not feeling right or can't shake brain fog or am feeling low self worth, I consider taking a self-care morning or day. This may include going to the park for light exercise or just sitting on a bench in the sun or meditate. Afterward, I'm in a better place to judge what to do next. Light makes me feel more awake. So I have my phone on low blue light setting 100% of the time. After dark, I leave all lights off except when necessary. I rarely listen to the news. I check my weather app because an awareness of nature is beneficial. I exercise at least 3 times a week in the morning for over an hour since my job is sedentary. Each morning I get outside for 20 minutes and breathe deeply. I just walk around the block once at a minimum. Here are assists during restless nights: Sleep with a fan, wear less clothing. Do 5-15 minutes of long slow deep breathing or a few physiological sighs. Turn on a sleep story or body scan on my phone. After waking up with brain fog or body fatigue, do a cold bath. The degree of coldness has to do with how I feel: sliding scale from lukewarm or 35 degrees F (ice). Awareness is the key to deciding what's next. Neuroticism - avoid it when possible. I "zoom out" to see the bigger picture to offset anxiety and bring more calm. Panoramic views (even looking at photos of panoramic views of nature) help me. Avoid close focus like phone, computer, or reading. Viewing the night sky, the sky at any time, being in nature especially with less people around. Quiet time. Running or jogging alone, even on a cloudy or rainy day). Having a cool fruit drink like watermelon or pineapple that makes my mouth feel happy and gives me a boost of energy. I take fish oil and vitamin D daily for my supplements. Athletic greens mornings. Coffee before 9 am. I eat healthy 90-95% of the time: whole foods. I fast 12 hours a day. But I drink water all the time, especially early in the day. Stretching and strengthening exercises are helpful. I'm 71 years old. I was a serious distance runner till about 45 years of age. Since then, I enjoy the middle way
This is an amazing comment and so helpful. Screenshotting it. I am 44 and have been going through a lot of sleep difficulties since January. My mother went through menopause at 47, so if I'm anything like her, perimenopause is happening. I am also working on cleaning up certain habits (phone, alcohol).
@@mariezenaida I also journal each morning 3 pages... 1) intention setting for the day centered on compassion for self and others, including people i know, people in general who are less fortunate like those without clean water, good food, work. This helps avoid judgment of self and others. Also my food, activity intentions. 2) Gratitude practice...a natural way to be compassionate for all. I find myself being gratitude for even adverse conditions as it helps me understand things that are difficult. I write it down by hand, saying why I'm grateful. 3) end of day journaling...what did I do that day toward my intentions set earlier? Just the good things...even if it was simply to feed my cat or make my bed. Always positive reinforcement. It's the positive note for sleeping 😌
I'm so glad you mentioned sobriety! I was worried that you would just skip over that one like so many other influencers do. They will try all these "scientifically proven productivity hacks" but they won't get sober. Alcohol is the worst thing you can do to your body. If you are just occasionally drinking whatever, but regular drinker skipping this advice is just silly. Huberman has tons of podcasts about alcohol and is very clear on the science. Alcohol is poison for your body.
I stopped drinking alcohol, and I convinced myself that a glass of red wine occasionally would be ok in time until AH podcast on alcohol stopped me in my tracks!
What exactly is so bad? I typically drink moderately. 2 or 3 beers or one or two mixes drinks about 5 or so days a week. I dont even really get tipsy, just helps me relax at night. I have coworkers who drink to get drunk multiple days a week. That seems bad. But my drinking doesn't seem bad.
I have been a bit lost in the last year or so with my health goals and over all day to day life. This video has reminded me about all the small practices that I used to keep up with that made my life a dream to live. I am excited to start practicing these things and see how my life changes. Thank you for sharing your life.
I’ve slowly implemented Huberman tips and they have been life changing. I’m late diagnosed ADHD and his advice and protocols are really great for us neuro spicy types . Loved every part of this video and it gave me that little push to keep going
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc OK - cold showers and ice baths are big dopamine boosters! Early morning walks and exposure to light, supplements of Omega 3 and L-Tyrosine. ALso controlling dopamine - this is tricky to explain so I recommend watching his dopamine episode. But focussing on enjoying the process of tasks rather than finishing it.
@@thaiholiday Oh wow! So happy that you’ve found some things that work for you. These all sound really helpful. I will look into it - thankyou so much 😍
I’m learning a lot about hormones. Men have a 24 hour hormone cycle. We have 28-32 day cycles. So we have to do things differently! Hot and cold, zone 2 cardio etc. are stressors. Which help our bodies to adapt and can strengthen us, but women can’t do the same things all month. When progesterone is building, for instance, we have to be careful NOT to stress our bodies, because it can lead to aging and fat storage. I am a huge fan of our lord and savior too😂 But he’s a guy, and his body works differently. Our bodies need a bit more rest and some more carbs etc. when we’re building certain hormones at certain times. I’m a gerontologist, so this is my thing. there’s a good book called Fast Like a Girl that explains the way our cycle works
@@MagdaM771 the book the op mentioned, Fast Like A Girl covers menopause. The author, Dr. Mindy Pelz has a book dedicated to what to do during menopause as well. I recommend googling her name and books, and purchasing if you can. They're extremely helpful!
I was so eager to start the sleep routine because I have been wrecking my sleep for the last few months, and today my period started. So I was rolling in bed, in pain, crying about scenes in my head, and I know it is the hormones. I watched the last rays of sunshine I did a tranquil activity before putting away my phone I did my skincare routine Read for a bit And went to bed And meditated And tried And here I am, still awake Think I may be getting sleepy, thank God But if I wake up in an hour just because my period and my intestines decided to... I'll cry again.
I think everyone is in their wellness era rn because COVID opened people’s eyes to stuff that’s most important. Taking care of yourself and improving yourself and being the best version you can be so you can help others!! And because people tend to be all or nothing. When really, little baby changes are what make the difference
Haha I love Andrew! Very cool to see someone that has actually followed his routines. If you ever decide to quit alcohol, I just want to say it’s awesome to not drink anymore. I was never a big drinker, when I did it was usually at social events. I reduced my drinking overtime starting at age 35 and then I quit around the age of 38, but it took me a good three years before I really was not feeling the need to drink socially. I love going out and partying and not being hung over the next day.
HER „HUBERMAN ROUTINE“ IN A WRAP: 01: COLD EXPOSURE: 11/MIN/WEEK PRO’S: perfect, refreshing set for the day & also reduced anxiety CON’S: its mentally harsh! 02: ZONE 2 CARDIO (60-70 % OF MAX HR) 150-180 MIN/WEEK PRO’S: cardio, as well as lung compacity and ability to run faster and longer improved. you feel incredibly good. also your resting-heart rate improves.

CON’S: there is none, again! 05: SLEEP IN A COLD ROOM PRO’S: more REM sleep, more deep sleep, so you wake up feeling more rested. CON’S: the AC is pricey. 06: MORNING SUNLIGHT (DO NOT WEAR SUNGLASSES) PRO’S: helps you sleep better at night, helps get over jetlag, and you feel more energized and improved in mood. CON’S: nope. 07: DOUBLE INHALE - EXTENDED EXHALE PRO’S: reduced stress, anxiety & panic attacks. brings you in the present moment. CON’S: sometimes you look silly. :)))) 08: FULL BODY SCAN & CAFFEINE DELAY (TO 90-100 MIN AFTER WAKING) PRO’S: more sustained energy, less crashes & anxiety. CON’S: hart to get used to it. 09: GIVE UP / REDUCE DRINKING PRO’S: you feel sooo good & rejuvenated. CON’S: you should still go out & be social. 10: SAUNA / HEAT EXPOSURE (5-20 MIN PER SESSION, 3 x WEEK) PRO’S: improvement in HRV (time between heart beats), deep sleep, anxiety.

PS: thank you for sharing!
The commitment! You really went "I have XX goal for my channel and my fitness" and you are holding up! I love that you bring science and research into your challenges.
Keltie somehow u popped up on my screen when I was researching Andrew... nice to meet u. I too discovered him close to 3 yrs ago... I was super sick back in 2020, physically and mentally, and his protocols saved my life! I put my bipolar, GAD, OCD, and ADHD into near complete remission within 2 mos. of taking high Omega 3s, going carnivore (now keto), adding a bunch of supplements, cleaning up my microbiome, and so on. I really invested as much time as I could into healing myself and in 2023 I'm a new woman! Thx for sharing this!
Been in love with Andrew Huberman for ages! He says it I believe it. I tell my daughter stuff, the eyes roll, not him again… 😂the morning light, caffeine delay and the two breaths in one out! Brilliant easy anyone can do it! Going to do the sunset walk thing next. Thank you Keltie for all of this!
I LOVE Andrew Huberman! So informative and applicable! My boyfriend and I have also implemented a lot of these into our routines and it high key is life changing!
Here's a list of the habits she tried: - Cold exposure - Zone 2 cardio - AG1 - Watch the sunset - Delay caffeine intake - Sleep in a cold room - Morning sunlight - Double inhale, exhale - Reduce alcohol - Heat exposure - 90-120 min work blocks - 30 second stretches
I'm addicted to Huberman's podcast!! I've listen all the episodes and some of them for twice! And all the tips work and improve your life! PS: I've done cold showers for years ( before Huberman podcast ) and now are essential in my morning routine!
we don't have a cold plunge so we just fill our bathtub up in the morning (add ice or snow) and soak 3-4 minutes!!! been doing it for a few months since i upgraded from the cold shower which we had been doing for a year. makes you feel fantastic! :)
Moved to Portugal in 2019, moved into a van last year, best sleep of my life! I'm exposed to more sunlight, daily workout of 1000 reps for my legs, and in the pool everyday until the water gets below 15 Celsius. ( awesome to swim during the winter months) Great video, great advice.
I also follow Andrew and did the cold showers... you did awesome job on summarizing because his videos are SO in depth and long.
Рік тому+1
All things aside, sleeping in a cold room is fantastic! I don't know if it is completely science backed method but I discovered this myself and it is amazing how it affects my sleep cycle, overall mood throughout the day and etc.
Girl, you sound so happy in this video, totally inspiring! The HLP protocols have helped me so much. I stack the morning light exposure with zone 2 exercise. Easy to do when you live in San Diego. I tell people that even if these are the only protocols you follow, you will see a huge difference in your mood and sleep! Thank you for sharing Keltie!! Cheers.
KELTIE!!!!!! I looooooved this episode + even got my husband (who can’t sit down and watch anything) to give it his undivided attention. You’re the BEST
I never comment on YT, but I’m compelled to say this is my favourite video Keltie ❤ I’ve been watching you for years and I have to say I wish you were in Calgary. I’d love a friend like you! Thank you for sharing your health and fitness journeys - I love them. Super grateful for you! I have been doing the same over the years and absolutely love Huberman ! This was perfect to watch 🎉 Cheers hun! Awesome job!!
Great vlog. For me the biggest thing is probably the sunlight stuff. This was unexpected and very effective. I got the sleep schedule right, need less coffee to get going. The other stuff I either already did or improved on - they are important, especially exercise and physical activity. I have commented this under dozen videos already, but the level of knowledge gained and the quality of quests at his bodcast is unmatched.
Thanks, Keltie! I love it that you promote science based fitness & health advice! Very inspirational. I am like you, making healthy lifestyle choice, independant of what my friends do. I love your channel, and also Huberman's channel, and is good to see how you made a nice selection of his health tips. So many influencers tell misinformation about fitness and health. Glad for you that you had the breast explant. I have never done a breast augmentation, although I was and still am insecure about my AAA breast size, but as a teenager in the late 90s, I knew a women who got very, very sick from the breast implant ilness. That was a good warning for me, and the reason why I never did it.
I am absolutely on a health and wellness journey this year! My anxiety had been so bad and I feel like I had tried everything. I started seeing a holistic doctor a couple months ago and I think I finally found something that works.
I really enjoyed watching you take on the various monthly challenges. His podcast is great, and your results are inspiring, this is a great video - nicely done Keltie!
Sun light - sunrise in the morning, 10 min walk = moving foward and excercising at pace while having had water with salt and delay coffee 1.5 hours has changed my life. I have been doing it for 6 months now and never had so much energy or mental stability under stress. The cold showers I struggle with and only do just 11 mins a week to adjust to the "change routine" along with the viewing the 3 stages of distance (also for "change" strengthening). I dont feel right without getting up and going out in the sunlight for a 10 minute walk within an hour of waking up everyday.
This is SO impressive! Particularly the coffee delay. Coffee is the primary pull to get me to even sit up in the morning. Do you do your morning walks even in dark winter months?
I've had 2 alcoholic drinks so far in 2023. And honestly, I don't hate it. I wasn't using alcohol to necessarily numb life, but I realized that by making it a little more special, it's special again. A glass of wine with a nice dinner for my husband's birthday? Yes. A drink on family day playing board games with my cousins? Great. It's to enhance the experience now, not just be the experience.
Figure Once I grew I never could understand the allure of booze. For me it literally makes me feel depressed because it's a depressant, I don't want to feel depressed but hyperactive alive.
Omg to enhance the experience not be the experience I love that so much, I’m 20 and I go through so many phases of not drinking for weeks and then drinking again. I do enjoy a drink, but I want to make it less often so it is more special.
I did not know about this until now! But out of instinct I have been doing most of these things everyday since I was a child because it made me feel better! So cool that its actually a challenge.
I started to do what you did and add in one thing at a time! Water filter on its way and taking athletic greens for the second time today! Been taking cold showers ever since i watched your video, thanks for the encouragement!
This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched. I already have you as my rolemodel, but I also started listening to Huberman's Lab maybe like a year ago, and this is like the perfect combination! Thank you for doing this and showing it to us, very interesting and informative! Great seeing you again!
Keltie! Killing it! You have inspired me like you always do! I also am so grateful to have discovered Andrew Huberman's podcast. Actual actionable information backed by science is amazing!
I’m so excited for you! I love the Huberman Lab podcast and have also implemented many of his protocols to improve my quality of life. Thank you for putting his name out there so more lives can be transformed.
Don't get sucked into a rabbit hole just because you have evangelized Huberman - he is a professor and knows what he says currently can easily change through more studies which are being done all the time. Do what works for you but don't make the mistake of thinking it is the only thing out there.
We bought the Eight Sleep over a year ago and love it. I like that I can have the temperature on my side of the bed deferent then my husbands side. I set mine warmer when I get into bed, then it will recognize when I’m asleep and will drop the temperature down to get into REM better. Tried cold showers but not my thing. In the Canadian winter, just stand outside in T-shirt and watch the sun rise. I also prefer infrared sauna versus steam, but everyone’s different.
“I hate it. I hate that I’m this person, but I love itt!” 🤣 love that, also you should be proud, a lot of people never get as far as you’ve pushed yourself.
I love all the sudden cuts to Andrew 😂 this was really enjoyable. I have been doing many of these things, but not quite to this level !! Props for being so dedicated.
Dude. This is what's up. As someone who is also obsessed with Andrew Huberman, this brief synopsis of what he shares is beyond helpful. Thank you thank you thank you
I have so much resepct for you!! But the thing I love most is that you don‘t forget to live. In most of these Kind of Videos the people just have their routine in mind, are productive 24/7 and stop every Little Vice (Not sure this is the right Word). But you still Go out partying or drinking sometimes, you still Go out for Dinner and eat that „unhealthy“ italian Food. And I also love that you adapted or tried one Habit a month. It is so demotivating to watch someone changing their life over Night completly. You really motivated me to give this Routine-Lifestyle another chance. I work as a nurse, so I can‘t adapt every Habit because of my worktime. But I‘ll try my best!
Here’s something wholesome. Listening to your Zen Zone playlist was an ideal background listen to a lunchtime walk and litter pick. Didn’t get rage-y at people dropping cans and single use plastics. Did feel happy at being able to walk tomorrow and NOT see those pieces of careless disregard again.
I love Andrew. I was very incredulous at first because I was sucked into guru hustle culture snake oil world for a bit. Not to name names, but one of them rhymes with Baloney Nobbins. It made me real gun shy about getting into anyone claiming "science". But this is actual science, and it isn't trendy, or a pyramid scheme. It's real.
I've been watching Dr. Huberman and I really want to implement his protocols in my life and I like the idea of focusing on one of the time. Great job! Thanks so much!🎉
I absolutely loved this video! This is the exact content I crave - self improvement along with science and research base strategies. I’m 36 and was diagnosed with ADHD this year after suffering a lot in the past five years from multiple concussions. So all of 2023 has been a lot of research that led me to discover, ADHD. And I was diagnosed in the summer by my healthcare professional. I will definitely be saving this video to my self/financial improvement playlist, so I can revisit it from time to time to gain new golden nuggets or try to implement one new strategy in a different era. You made a cute comment at one point that I actually wrote down and I’m gonna stick it in my planner. I’m bad about staying inside all day if I don’t have something specific planned, i.e. yardwork with close to an acre, school, errands, grocery shopping, etc. “That should be the take away for everyone. Just go look at the sun in the morning and you’ll be like, “Ohhhhh, I’m a plant.“ It’s so simple to just step outside, but I do take it for granted. The past several weeks I’ve been transitioning off of old medicine after starting a new medicine. So far it’s been probably a couple weeks since my last killer migraine. And I have to get out of coping mechanisms like hiding in the house to preserve myself from pain, if I’m ever going to get better, truly recovered, and have any level of fitness like I used to. So thank you again very much for this video and for all of your content. I think the rabbit hole was watching Susie J. Todd from Australia, and then stumbling down the algorithm and searches of other people testing out influencer workouts and diets. I enjoy that content as well. So cheers to a happy and healthy 2024!
LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS... I too am a huge Dr Huberman fan. I started his podcasts a few years ago from the beginning and implemented EVERYTHING. Sleep changed, and my mindset changed. It's the little things that make a huge difference. I then started following the people he interviewed whom I felt had an impact on me. I really enjoyed watching you take them all on with the Pros and cons. Good for you.🤗 PS. Does AG1 really taste good? My pockets said no to that one lol.
I loved th taste of AG1 but got rashes every day shortly after drinking it. Persevered for 7 months & the rashes kept happening virtually every day so finally acknowledged it was time to stop.
@@deborahrombouts9958 Oh no, sorry to hear that. There must've been something in there you were allergic to maybe. 7 Months is a long time to persevere. I may give it a try, though it's not cheap!!!
Thank god someone actually removed alcohol and not just "skipped over that part" wopsie. Great video!! All hail our "lord and saviour Andrew Huberman".
I agree this is a really important part of Juberman's suggestions...buuuut, I don't wanna! Alcohol is such a ritual and quality of life element, to me it's worth keeping in so that my years are fuller and happier :)
i def wanna try ag1 but i would in the future specify possible reasons not to use them. for example, one adaptogen in them has been recommended to be avoided during pregnancy due to risk in miscarriage. also some ingredients may interact with medication in a negative way. i don’t think the product itself is bad but these disclaimers are important. i know the website has it under the FAQ section but that can easily be missed
New viewer, really liking Keltie's vids...but though I'm a native english speaker I find myself constantly rewinding to listen more cuz she speaks so fast!!!
The cool thing about cold showers is that it's never quite like you're starting from scratch again even if it's been months since your last one. I've been (lazily) trying to regularly implement them since I was about 16 (now 22). I've gone through phases with it, usually had a couple of consistent months every summer and every now and then cold showers throughout the rest of the year. Point is, even though it was never consistent for very long, overall my tolerance to cold exposure keeps getting better each year. Now I can't shiver from cold showers alone, I have to have an ice bath to get the same reaction I used to have.
Re: cold shower. To make it sustainable, try just jumping in as soon as the shower is turned on and stand under until it warms up. Then you get the benefits, you don’t get fully cold tolerant, and you have the reward of the warm water after. I do this and do another quick cold rinse at the end and it’s been a game changer. Done is better than perfect!
Would love a follow-up on the bone density results. I'm 32 and had osteoporosis/osteopenia since my 20s due to an eating disorder. My mom also recently got diagnosed with osteoporosis. I've heard that the DEXA scans aren't necessarily accurate though because they don't look at the architecture of the bone, which is better for bone strength rather than just looking at bone density. TBS (trabecular bone score) is a better marker in that regard.
I’m a sucker for sunrises and sunsets , it’s a divine moment of the day for me! I love cold air and sea and showers and I sleep with windows wide open. I do regularly breath work and kundalini yoga. I just have to start running which is on my list for soo long 🙈. This is a great motivation Keltie! And I will order that AG1, pricey but we don’t save money on our health right! Love your videos 💫
I swear I must have been getting these pop up on my recommendations through this channel. Never really noticed you talk about him but I have been binging his content in this last week - so freaky you then do this video (at least for me haha) Love the videos and ways you implemented his routine/advice
Great Summary of Dr. Huberman's advice with actual experience. Work on call on weekends which completely upsets the sleep cycle thus similar to traveling and jet Lag. This summary was benificial since fatigue based on the upset sleep cycle is very difficult to overcome.
The cold showers have to be one of the best mental hardener there is. I don't care how tough you think you are, waking up in the winter and taking a cold shower first thing in the morning absolutely sucks, it'll turn just about anyone into a quivering baby. You grit your teeth, every millisecond is pain, your hands and head go numb, you question why you exist, but I love it. Good for you Keltie for doing it, very few people are tough enough to do it for a year. I don't care if there are any actual physical health benefits or not, the mental strengthening is worth it for me. Life in North America is so easy, we have to find ways to make it hard, otherwise we will risk never realizing our potential because we were too weak to ever reach it.
I work from home and stare at a screen for 8 hours, I think actively seeking the sun out in the mornings would be a major improvement for me, plus the streching.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Mr. Huberman is a smart man. You are awesome for implementing each of these changes into your lifestyle. My boyfriend and i are obsessed with our wellness era!! It’s healthy szn, babyyyy 🎉
I LOVE this!! You make me want to do this, lol, or similar stuff!!! My depression and anxiety hold me back, but I REALLY want to do it! Taking it month by month might be helpful!!! I love when you said adding these things in made you feel more productive instead of feeling like it was taking time away by doing those things!!! That’s the mindset I need! Also…your poor Fiddle Leaf!!! I can help if you would like tips 🌿💚 I love my Fiddles!
This is one of the most positive and comprehensive videos I've seen, and I love it! Also, I think we're like.. the same person, haha - Keep crushin' it.
I am 38 years old and I am defintely not in a good shape due to an auto immune condition but the worst is my energy. When I see you energetic and full of life make me crave it so hard! In the past, I used to wake up and bounce in my sportswear to have a run....
I'm 28 and I also feel the same due to an autoimmune disease. My energy is so low all the time. So don't feel bad it's the normal for us. But I know it's really hard. I was also running before this, but know everyday tasks feel too much sometimes. So you're not alone ☺️
Keep searching for answers! I'm 38 with autoimmune diseases. I have chronic fatigue, chronic pain, chronic illness. But I've figured out if I stay very active, as in, on my feet 8-10 hours a day, doing 10,000 steps, the whole thing, I feel better. I'm always looking for tips and tricks for energy and feeling better. Constantly trying new things pays off. It's a battle every minute of every day but I just don't let the fatigue and pain win. I don't let myself lay down. It's not an option. My body has gotten used to functioning with the pain and fatigue so I'm not at all limited by my conditions and it's made my pain and discomfort tolerance increase significantly. I physically feel like crap but my mood is always good and I'm always active. I walk circles around the younger healthy people and it gives me such a boost to know I'm still living my best life despite my issues.
same here with thyroid issues, what really impacts me is work + long commute. This makes my whole body be in pain, regardless of other activities like sports or yoga. It's like a psychosomatic pain. Unfortunately the world functions on us trading our health for constant productivity.
@@lindsaypez1048 that’s awesome! One has to keep trying things to see what helps. My son suffers from health issues. I asked him how he manages knowing how much pain he’s in. He said, mom, I can lay in bed and feel like shit or I can go out and have a life. Either way, I feel like shit but at least I can choose to have a life. Love and blessings to you. ❤
a vancouverite I can look up too. I just discovered AH channel this year, and im so excited to start my journey implementing the things ive been learning
Re: bone density-I was osteoporotic but am now much improved and out of the dangerous range; I implemented a simple exercise after reading a study about it (I'm a medical professional). You jump once every 30 seconds for 5 minutes, twice a day. That was boring so I added alternating ankle lifts (standing with one foot on the edge of a wooden chair and lifting one foot up and down) and slow squats in the 30 second intervals. I use a wooden chair in my bedroom to jump off of, but if you''re actually osteoporotic check with your doctor first, and start with just jumping up in the air off the ground; reduce the impact any time you get increased back pain after the exercise. BTW this practice also greatly *decreased* my back pain when done regularly. I do one set at the beginning of my exercise routine and another at the end, an hour or so later.
@@believeingood : true, but unless your physician recommended that versus jumping on the ground, you wouldn't be reproducing the study parameters and might not get the same results
Really enjoyed this. Yes I love Andrew Huberman. He is so knowledgeable and I love how be backs up with mostly solid research. The reason I listened to you here is because I saw you were trying out some of his protocols and I was really keen to hear how you got on. It was very interesting and you made it very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you.
Interesting! I find most of these hacks cost either time, or money, or both, except one: getting sober. Stopped drinking my daily 2 glasses of wine over a year ago. It’s by far the most effective thing I ever did for my fitness and health, in combo with nutrient dense food, body weight exercise, along with plenty of recovery. All these things promote good sleep, which helps with energy. And yeah we also need some sunlight. Everything else is decimal dust in my opinion.
You know I've been avoiding videos about Huberman's stuff bc of the snake oil salesman affect, but this really opened my eyes to what he has to say and how he can be helpful on my own wellness kick I hope to get going this year. Also, I appreciate the realness when it comes to your approach of trying something, letting us know you arent 100% doing every little thing mentioned every day, it makes it feel approachable, because humans and our needs are flexible.
Wow 🤩 my parents were so ahead of the times. Cold showers 🧼 were mandatory when I was growing up. Full disclosure: I did grow up in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 🇧🇷 which I know makes it a lot easier, but still… shout out to all progressive and innovative moms and dads. Say hi 👋🏻 your mom - I know she and my mom would definitely be BFFs if they ever meet. Beijos e abraços da sua amiga brasileira e portuguesa 🇧🇷🇵🇹🩰✊🏻
What a great comprehensive video! And I didn’t even know about the huberman podcast until Keltie mentioned it on a video. It sparked my interest as well and I’ve enjoyed listening in conjunction with watching keltie incorporate things!
I would be careful with "ANY" information you get, i've spotted andrew huberman on some BS in the passed, coach greg and others have called him out on a number of things too so always just do your due diligence before hoping into things.... btw 2 month update, things are getting back on track with the training, its just taking longer as I was out for nearly 4yrs (muscle plactification, one step away for actual decay) first month was rough, second month things became more adaptable, thinking for the next 3 months i'm just gonna focus on muscle endurance..... btw been liking the new style of the new content lately, keep up the great work.... have a great week
Very true! No matter who is talking always have to do your own due diligence 👏🏻 that’s amazing, excited for month 3 for you! So happy you’re enjoying the new content lately :)
Thank you for this. Excellent distillation. Now I can target my searches on his podcasts. Listening to him is like drinking from a firehose. I too find myself quoting Dr. Huberman, so much so that my wife rolls her eyes when I start off with: "I heard this on a podcast ..."
Id love Keltie to do the fitness challenges that Dr Andy Galpin talks about in HubermanLab podcast episodes. He does a series of 6 with Huberman, and i think they go through them in the first episode of 6. i think theres 7 that test strength, endurance, cariovascular health, agility etc. would be amazing to watch perhaps a before and after a year etc.
just found this channel. In terms of running in zone 2. Elite distance runners will generally run about 80% of their runs easy and 20% hard. This means we could do only 2 or 3 hard runs each week, totally maybe 2 hours of hard work maximum, while still running 8-10 hours a week with the rest of it being closer to a conversational pace. This really is where gains are seen and is a nice way to also have a conversation with fellow training mates
Keltie, Thank you for sharing your experience with the HLP protocols. Best wishes and thank you for your interest in science! -Andrew
Andrew ur the goat
You're the don. Thank you for your work!
Thank you you for all your protocols! Morning sunlight has truly changed my life. Also thank you for taking that time to comment! Look forward to the HLP every week 🙏🏼
Omg!!! He responded to your video!! I'm excited for you!!! 😃😃
@KeltieOConnor you know he probably even watched hour whole vid, lol, just like you were so nervous about. Bet he loved it tho 😊 amazing 👏
Most fitness UA-camrs: I did this boring 30 day challenge and nothing changed.
Keltie: I did eight 3-year long challenges at the same time while also running every day, going to every fitness class in Vancouver and working to improve my mental health…
BOSS! ❤
If people saw my flow charts of all the videos I have going on at once their minds would implode 😅😅
@@KeltieOConnor I LOVE me a flow chart 😄
For real- All hail Keltie!
I’ve always thought how to decipher results from any of your challenges when you’re doing 12 at once?
@@kmd10533 It's not possible.
For everyone wondering; AG1 has been proven to not have high enough doses to actually aid in your microbiome. Unfortunatly you should not buy this, unless you really have an access amount of money, because it is also super expensive.
SUMMERY OF THE HABITS :
- cold exposure (11 min/week) (2-4 sessions 1-5 min each)
- run zone 2 (150-180 min/week)
- watch sunset
- sleep in a cold room
- morning sunlight (30-60 min of being up)
- double breaths
- caffeine delay
- giving up drinking
- heat exposure, sauna
- time blocking
- stretching (30 sec each muscle group)
PS : I love your videos !! They really inspire me to get out of my comfort zone
Ty for saving me the time & effort!
Thanks
THANKSSS SO MUCH
@@The_Daily_Carnivore aw give the video a watch still , it's a gooden
Thanks!
Honestly, his podcasts have changed my sleep. Especially watching the sunsets while on my walk. I walk nice and fast so two in one. Then I have a shower and no phone before bed. We have our radiator turned off in the bedroom. Still haven't braved the cold water yet. I live 20 mins from the sea and still haven't swam during winter. Sending lots of love form Ireland 🇮🇪
I absolutely LOVE hearing this! Literally AH is changing the world getting so many of us to sleep as cheesy as that sounds lol
@@KeltieOConnor yes definitely! Not corny at all, sleep in so important 🙏 have you read/listened to "why we sleep" by Matt walker? Excellent book on sleep
Be careful with swimming in the sea in winter! There are 30-year-olds in my area who decided to do cold dips in the ocean in winter and died as a result. I've learned from locals who do it properly that you A) never go alone, and B) start early (around September) and regularly do it through the winter so you are used to the temperature changes. You can probably find a local group to go with so if something bad does happen (like a heart attack) someone will be there to cal 911, but honestly you might want to just stick with cold showers.
Andrew totally saved my life!
walking is the way to go. doesnt stress your heart for long periods. wont ruin your joints so you are crippled in older age. but don't shock your heart by jumping into cold water... its literally one of the worst things you can do. warm is good! why constrict your blood vessels?
He’s fascinating! New to his podcast and addicted is an understatement
BRO I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH I WATCH THEM ALL THE TIMEEE
Such an understatement, I watch him when I wake, walk under the sun, exercise, eat, take the bus, I only don't went I work.
obviously not the brightest candle on the cake
Oh yeah, I almost forgot he has a club made out of LAVA
My sister did you join the harem?
SCAMMER ALERT!! There is no prize associated with this video. There is someone pretending to be me going through the comment section claiming there’s a prize. Notice how this comment has a check mark & is verified = the real keltie. That IDOIT in the comments is a hacker trying the steal your money. Sadly they blocked me so I’m not able to delete their comments or see their page. If you see this can you go into other comments they’ve commented on and report them. Hopefully if enough of us report them their account will get deleted 🤞🏻
They joined 2 weeks ago with zero followers, videos etc
I tried to report user, but it states the channel doesn't exist 🤷♀️
Omgosh those jerks! I can’t believed it lol
I got excited for a moment. Okay I think I deleted those hoes!
I reported it right away when he/she replied to my comment , and now i can’t find the profile anymore . So maybe it worked :)
I love how you implemented one change at a time for a full month - I know it's super simple but I think it's genius. Whenever I see information about sleep hygiene or healthy habits that I KNOW will be good for me, I feel overwhelmed b/c it's a long list and I want to start everything at once. But it makes so much sense to break it all into smaller chunks, pick one point, and start there. Anyway, loved the vid! Thanks!
Exactly this. So easy to consume concentrated advice and lists of tips but it needs to be lived and experienced over time, and incorporated incrementally to have any useful traction.
I was about to comment the same - super genious strategy! 👏
Sleep & mental health are definitely related.
If I wake up feeling rested with a contentment or positive mindset and a good body feeling, I call it a good sleep.
If I get no sleep one night, but consciously relax my body completely (this happens on Sunday nights sometimes) and I feel ok at wake up time, I just move through it with care and the best attitude possible. It happens.
If I wake up feeling fatigued or fragile physically, or feeling prickly or critical of something or someone in my life, I consider whether my normal routine will be ok.
If I'm really not feeling right or can't shake brain fog or am feeling low self worth, I consider taking a self-care morning or day.
This may include going to the park for light exercise or just sitting on a bench in the sun or meditate.
Afterward, I'm in a better place to judge what to do next.
Light makes me feel more awake. So I have my phone on low blue light setting 100% of the time. After dark, I leave all lights off except when necessary.
I rarely listen to the news.
I check my weather app because an awareness of nature is beneficial.
I exercise at least 3 times a week in the morning for over an hour since my job is sedentary.
Each morning I get outside for 20 minutes and breathe deeply. I just walk around the block once at a minimum.
Here are assists during restless nights:
Sleep with a fan, wear less clothing.
Do 5-15 minutes of long slow deep breathing or a few physiological sighs.
Turn on a sleep story or body scan on my phone.
After waking up with brain fog or body fatigue, do a cold bath.
The degree of coldness has to do with how I feel: sliding scale from
lukewarm or 35 degrees F (ice).
Awareness is the key to deciding what's next.
Neuroticism - avoid it when possible.
I "zoom out" to see the bigger picture to offset anxiety and bring more calm.
Panoramic views (even looking at photos of panoramic views of nature) help me.
Avoid close focus like phone, computer, or reading.
Viewing the night sky, the sky at any time, being in nature especially with less people around.
Quiet time.
Running or jogging alone, even on a cloudy or rainy day).
Having a cool fruit drink like watermelon or pineapple that makes my mouth feel happy and gives me a boost of energy.
I take fish oil and vitamin D daily for my supplements. Athletic greens mornings.
Coffee before 9 am.
I eat healthy 90-95% of the time: whole foods.
I fast 12 hours a day. But I drink water all the time, especially early in the day.
Stretching and strengthening exercises are helpful.
I'm 71 years old. I was a serious distance runner till about 45 years of age.
Since then, I enjoy the middle way
Wow!! You are awesome, keep it up!!❤
Thanks for sharing this
This is an amazing comment and so helpful. Screenshotting it. I am 44 and have been going through a lot of sleep difficulties since January. My mother went through menopause at 47, so if I'm anything like her, perimenopause is happening. I am also working on cleaning up certain habits (phone, alcohol).
@@mariezenaida
I also journal each morning 3 pages...
1) intention setting for the day centered on compassion for self and others, including people i know, people in general who are less fortunate like those without clean water, good food, work.
This helps avoid judgment of self and others.
Also my food, activity intentions.
2) Gratitude practice...a natural way to be compassionate for all. I find myself being gratitude for even adverse conditions as it helps me understand things that are difficult.
I write it down by hand, saying why I'm grateful.
3) end of day journaling...what did I do that day toward my intentions set earlier? Just the good things...even if it was simply to feed my cat or make my bed. Always positive reinforcement. It's the positive note for sleeping 😌
I really enjoyed reading this, but when I got to the end I 😮🤯
“I’m 71 years old”
Wasn’t expecting that at all. FANTASTIC🤩
THANKS!
- Electrolytes (salt) in the morning
- Morning Sunlight
- Workout or Cardio
- Double enhale then exhale
- Stop drinking
- Heat exposure
- 90-120m Work Blocks
- 30s Stretches
Sodium is just one of the electrolytes needed.
I'm so glad you mentioned sobriety! I was worried that you would just skip over that one like so many other influencers do. They will try all these "scientifically proven productivity hacks" but they won't get sober. Alcohol is the worst thing you can do to your body. If you are just occasionally drinking whatever, but regular drinker skipping this advice is just silly. Huberman has tons of podcasts about alcohol and is very clear on the science. Alcohol is poison for your body.
yes yes yes!
Alcohol for sure, and sugar as well . . .
I stopped drinking alcohol, and I convinced myself that a glass of red wine occasionally would be ok in time until AH podcast on alcohol stopped me in my tracks!
I'm concerned when people get so radical about stuff, yeah alcohol is bad in general moralizing people about it has never worked and will never work.
What exactly is so bad? I typically drink moderately. 2 or 3 beers or one or two mixes drinks about 5 or so days a week.
I dont even really get tipsy, just helps me relax at night.
I have coworkers who drink to get drunk multiple days a week. That seems bad. But my drinking doesn't seem bad.
I have been a bit lost in the last year or so with my health goals and over all day to day life. This video has reminded me about all the small practices that I used to keep up with that made my life a dream to live. I am excited to start practicing these things and see how my life changes. Thank you for sharing your life.
I’ve slowly implemented Huberman tips and they have been life changing. I’m late diagnosed ADHD and his advice and protocols are really great for us neuro spicy types . Loved every part of this video and it gave me that little push to keep going
Neurospicy is so much better than neurodivergent
Omg! What have you found that has helped?
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc OK - cold showers and ice baths are big dopamine boosters! Early morning walks and exposure to light, supplements of Omega 3 and L-Tyrosine. ALso controlling dopamine - this is tricky to explain so I recommend watching his dopamine episode. But focussing on enjoying the process of tasks rather than finishing it.
@@thaiholiday Oh wow! So happy that you’ve found some things that work for you. These all sound really helpful. I will look into it - thankyou so much 😍
@@Kyraaa-rb3vc He has just released a new episode on Dopamine - yay
I’m learning a lot about hormones. Men have a 24 hour hormone cycle. We have 28-32 day cycles. So we have to do things differently! Hot and cold, zone 2 cardio etc. are stressors. Which help our bodies to adapt and can strengthen us, but women can’t do the same things all month. When progesterone is building, for instance, we have to be careful NOT to stress our bodies, because it can lead to aging and fat storage. I am a huge fan of our lord and savior too😂 But he’s a guy, and his body works differently. Our bodies need a bit more rest and some more carbs etc. when we’re building certain hormones at certain times. I’m a gerontologist, so this is my thing. there’s a good book called Fast Like a Girl that explains the way our cycle works
That’s so true! Female bodies work differently than male due to different hormones cycle.
Such a good point!
But what when to do if you are facing menopause and you lose your cycle?
@@MagdaM771 the book the op mentioned, Fast Like A Girl covers menopause. The author, Dr. Mindy Pelz has a book dedicated to what to do during menopause as well. I recommend googling her name and books, and purchasing if you can. They're extremely helpful!
I was so eager to start the sleep routine because I have been wrecking my sleep for the last few months, and today my period started. So I was rolling in bed, in pain, crying about scenes in my head, and I know it is the hormones.
I watched the last rays of sunshine
I did a tranquil activity before putting away my phone
I did my skincare routine
Read for a bit
And went to bed
And meditated
And tried
And here I am, still awake
Think I may be getting sleepy, thank God
But if I wake up in an hour just because my period and my intestines decided to... I'll cry again.
I think everyone is in their wellness era rn because COVID opened people’s eyes to stuff that’s most important. Taking care of yourself and improving yourself and being the best version you can be so you can help others!! And because people tend to be all or nothing. When really, little baby changes are what make the difference
And finally someone is providing concrete evidence that these little changes are very feasible anddd actually work
Haha I love Andrew! Very cool to see someone that has actually followed his routines. If you ever decide to quit alcohol, I just want to say it’s awesome to not drink anymore. I was never a big drinker, when I did it was usually at social events. I reduced my drinking overtime starting at age 35 and then I quit around the age of 38, but it took me a good three years before I really was not feeling the need to drink socially. I love going out and partying and not being hung over the next day.

Thank you so much 🩵🩵
The commitment! You really went "I have XX goal for my channel and my fitness" and you are holding up! I love that you bring science and research into your challenges.
For those asking about 8sleep, here is my review of it!
ua-cam.com/video/fxeDAd8CbxM/v-deo.html
Keltie somehow u popped up on my screen when I was researching Andrew... nice to meet u. I too discovered him close to 3 yrs ago... I was super sick back in 2020, physically and mentally, and his protocols saved my life! I put my bipolar, GAD, OCD, and ADHD into near complete remission within 2 mos. of taking high Omega 3s, going carnivore (now keto), adding a bunch of supplements, cleaning up my microbiome, and so on. I really invested as much time as I could into healing myself and in 2023 I'm a new woman! Thx for sharing this!
Been in love with Andrew Huberman for ages! He says it I believe it. I tell my daughter stuff, the eyes roll, not him again… 😂the morning light, caffeine delay and the two breaths in one out! Brilliant easy anyone can do it! Going to do the sunset walk thing next. Thank you Keltie for all of this!
I LOVE Andrew Huberman! So informative and applicable! My boyfriend and I have also implemented a lot of these into our routines and it high key is life changing!
18:41 yes totally feel this. I think so many people are waking up and shifting from hustle self-sabatoge culture to a wellness era❤
girrrrrl, we see it too. It's so hard not to plug in immediately upon rising.
Here's a list of the habits she tried:
- Cold exposure
- Zone 2 cardio
- AG1
- Watch the sunset
- Delay caffeine intake
- Sleep in a cold room
- Morning sunlight
- Double inhale, exhale
- Reduce alcohol
- Heat exposure
- 90-120 min work blocks
- 30 second stretches
I'm addicted to Huberman's podcast!! I've listen all the episodes and some of them for twice! And all the tips work and improve your life! PS: I've done cold showers for years ( before Huberman podcast ) and now are essential in my morning routine!
we don't have a cold plunge so we just fill our bathtub up in the morning (add ice or snow) and soak 3-4 minutes!!! been doing it for a few months since i upgraded from the cold shower which we had been doing for a year. makes you feel fantastic! :)
Moved to Portugal in 2019, moved into a van last year, best sleep of my life! I'm exposed to more sunlight, daily workout of 1000 reps for my legs, and in the pool everyday until the water gets below 15 Celsius. ( awesome to swim during the winter months) Great video, great advice.
I also follow Andrew and did the cold showers... you did awesome job on summarizing because his videos are SO in depth and long.
All things aside, sleeping in a cold room is fantastic! I don't know if it is completely science backed method but I discovered this myself and it is amazing how it affects my sleep cycle, overall mood throughout the day and etc.
Girl, you sound so happy in this video, totally inspiring! The HLP protocols have helped me so much. I stack the morning light exposure with zone 2 exercise. Easy to do when you live in San Diego. I tell people that even if these are the only protocols you follow, you will see a huge difference in your mood and sleep! Thank you for sharing Keltie!! Cheers.
KELTIE!!!!!! I looooooved this episode + even got my husband (who can’t sit down and watch anything) to give it his undivided attention. You’re the BEST
I never comment on YT, but I’m compelled to say this is my favourite video Keltie ❤ I’ve been watching you for years and I have to say I wish you were in Calgary. I’d love a friend like you! Thank you for sharing your health and fitness journeys - I love them. Super grateful for you! I have been doing the same over the years and absolutely love Huberman ! This was perfect to watch 🎉 Cheers hun! Awesome job!!
Great vlog.
For me the biggest thing is probably the sunlight stuff. This was unexpected and very effective. I got the sleep schedule right, need less coffee to get going.
The other stuff I either already did or improved on - they are important, especially exercise and physical activity.
I have commented this under dozen videos already, but the level of knowledge gained and the quality of quests at his bodcast is unmatched.
Thanks, Keltie! I love it that you promote science based fitness & health advice! Very inspirational. I am like you, making healthy lifestyle choice, independant of what my friends do. I love your channel, and also Huberman's channel, and is good to see how you made a nice selection of his health tips. So many influencers tell misinformation about fitness and health. Glad for you that you had the breast explant. I have never done a breast augmentation, although I was and still am insecure about my AAA breast size, but as a teenager in the late 90s, I knew a women who got very, very sick from the breast implant ilness. That was a good warning for me, and the reason why I never did it.
I am absolutely on a health and wellness journey this year! My anxiety had been so bad and I feel like I had tried everything. I started seeing a holistic doctor a couple months ago and I think I finally found something that works.
I really enjoyed watching you take on the various monthly challenges. His podcast is great, and your results are inspiring, this is a great video - nicely done Keltie!
Sun light - sunrise in the morning, 10 min walk = moving foward and excercising at pace while having had water with salt and delay coffee 1.5 hours has changed my life. I have been doing it for 6 months now and never had so much energy or mental stability under stress. The cold showers I struggle with and only do just 11 mins a week to adjust to the "change routine" along with the viewing the 3 stages of distance (also for "change" strengthening). I dont feel right without getting up and going out in the sunlight for a 10 minute walk within an hour of waking up everyday.
This is SO impressive! Particularly the coffee delay. Coffee is the primary pull to get me to even sit up in the morning. Do you do your morning walks even in dark winter months?
I've had 2 alcoholic drinks so far in 2023. And honestly, I don't hate it. I wasn't using alcohol to necessarily numb life, but I realized that by making it a little more special, it's special again. A glass of wine with a nice dinner for my husband's birthday? Yes. A drink on family day playing board games with my cousins? Great. It's to enhance the experience now, not just be the experience.
I LOVE this, I’m literally adopting that idea. Of making it “special” just not a mandatory every weekend thing. Thank you for this!
Figure
Once I grew I never could understand the allure of booze.
For me it literally makes me feel depressed because it's a depressant, I don't want to feel depressed but hyperactive alive.
Omg to enhance the experience not be the experience I love that so much, I’m 20 and I go through so many phases of not drinking for weeks and then drinking again. I do enjoy a drink, but I want to make it less often so it is more special.
I did not know about this until now! But out of instinct I have been doing most of these things everyday since I was a child because it made me feel better! So cool that its actually a challenge.
I started to do what you did and add in one thing at a time! Water filter on its way and taking athletic greens for the second time today! Been taking cold showers ever since i watched your video, thanks for the encouragement!
This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched. I already have you as my rolemodel, but I also started listening to Huberman's Lab maybe like a year ago, and this is like the perfect combination! Thank you for doing this and showing it to us, very interesting and informative! Great seeing you again!
Keltie! Killing it! You have inspired me like you always do! I also am so grateful to have discovered Andrew Huberman's podcast. Actual actionable information backed by science is amazing!
I’m so excited for you! I love the Huberman Lab podcast and have also implemented many of his protocols to improve my quality of life. Thank you for putting his name out there so more lives can be transformed.
Don't get sucked into a rabbit hole just because you have evangelized Huberman - he is a professor and knows what he says currently can easily change through more studies which are being done all the time. Do what works for you but don't make the mistake of thinking it is the only thing out there.
This is one of your best videos! Love all of these habits and how you slowly implemented them❤
We bought the Eight Sleep over a year ago and love it. I like that I can have the temperature on my side of the bed deferent then my husbands side. I set mine warmer when I get into bed, then it will recognize when I’m asleep and will drop the temperature down to get into REM better. Tried cold showers but not my thing. In the Canadian winter, just stand outside in T-shirt and watch the sun rise. I also prefer infrared sauna versus steam, but everyone’s different.
If it helps, I end every shower with a solid cold water rinse and it adds up. It helps immensely. My energy, my focus, everything
“I hate it. I hate that I’m this person, but I love itt!” 🤣 love that, also you should be proud, a lot of people never get as far as you’ve pushed yourself.
I love all the sudden cuts to Andrew 😂 this was really enjoyable. I have been doing many of these things, but not quite to this level !! Props for being so dedicated.
I love the idea of keeping this going as a series like you have been doing!
Your hair is looking so good Keltie! It’s making me want to grow mine out nice and long.
Dude. This is what's up. As someone who is also obsessed with Andrew Huberman, this brief synopsis of what he shares is beyond helpful. Thank you thank you thank you
So happy you enjoyed it!!
15:39 "instead of BTS Army, we're the Huberman Army" 😂😂
I have so much resepct for you!! But the thing I love most is that you don‘t forget to live. In most of these Kind of Videos the people just have their routine in mind, are productive 24/7 and stop every Little Vice (Not sure this is the right Word). But you still Go out partying or drinking sometimes, you still Go out for Dinner and eat that „unhealthy“ italian Food. And I also love that you adapted or tried one Habit a month. It is so demotivating to watch someone changing their life over Night completly. You really motivated me to give this Routine-Lifestyle another chance. I work as a nurse, so I can‘t adapt every Habit because of my worktime. But I‘ll try my best!
I am so glad that I watched this video!! Thanks for sharing
Here’s something wholesome. Listening to your Zen Zone playlist was an ideal background listen to a lunchtime walk and litter pick. Didn’t get rage-y at people dropping cans and single use plastics. Did feel happy at being able to walk tomorrow and NOT see those pieces of careless disregard again.
I love Andrew. I was very incredulous at first because I was sucked into guru hustle culture snake oil world for a bit. Not to name names, but one of them rhymes with Baloney Nobbins. It made me real gun shy about getting into anyone claiming "science". But this is actual science, and it isn't trendy, or a pyramid scheme. It's real.
I've been watching Dr. Huberman and I really want to implement his protocols in my life and I like the idea of focusing on one of the time. Great job! Thanks so much!🎉
I would definitely like to try these. I'm totally a wellness junkie. I've never had alcohol (I'm 39), so I'm glad I won't have to break that habit.
We're also impressed by these habits...but I'll never bring myself to do cold showers. Guess it's a shorter life for me! haha
I always love the transparency and commitment in your videos.
Great video! Your personality really shines through and you're fun to listen to/ watch. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
I absolutely loved this video! This is the exact content I crave - self improvement along with science and research base strategies. I’m 36 and was diagnosed with ADHD this year after suffering a lot in the past five years from multiple concussions. So all of 2023 has been a lot of research that led me to discover, ADHD. And I was diagnosed in the summer by my healthcare professional. I will definitely be saving this video to my self/financial improvement playlist, so I can revisit it from time to time to gain new golden nuggets or try to implement one new strategy in a different era.
You made a cute comment at one point that I actually wrote down and I’m gonna stick it in my planner. I’m bad about staying inside all day if I don’t have something specific planned, i.e. yardwork with close to an acre, school, errands, grocery shopping, etc.
“That should be the take away for everyone. Just go look at the sun in the morning and you’ll be like, “Ohhhhh, I’m a plant.“ It’s so simple to just step outside, but I do take it for granted.
The past several weeks I’ve been transitioning off of old medicine after starting a new medicine. So far it’s been probably a couple weeks since my last killer migraine. And I have to get out of coping mechanisms like hiding in the house to preserve myself from pain, if I’m ever going to get better, truly recovered, and have any level of fitness like I used to. So thank you again very much for this video and for all of your content. I think the rabbit hole was watching Susie J. Todd from Australia, and then stumbling down the algorithm and searches of other people testing out influencer workouts and diets.
I enjoy that content as well.
So cheers to a happy and healthy 2024!
LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS... I too am a huge Dr Huberman fan. I started his podcasts a few years ago from the beginning and implemented EVERYTHING. Sleep changed, and my mindset changed. It's the little things that make a huge difference. I then started following the people he interviewed whom I felt had an impact on me. I really enjoyed watching you take them all on with the Pros and cons. Good for you.🤗
PS. Does AG1 really taste good? My pockets said no to that one lol.
I loved th taste of AG1 but got rashes every day shortly after drinking it. Persevered for 7 months & the rashes kept happening virtually every day so finally acknowledged it was time to stop.
@@deborahrombouts9958 Oh no, sorry to hear that. There must've been something in there you were allergic to maybe. 7 Months is a long time to persevere. I may give it a try, though it's not cheap!!!
There are so many other greens supplements out there. If you are Canadian there is on that has been around since the 90s which is half the cost
Thank god someone actually removed alcohol and not just "skipped over that part" wopsie.
Great video!!
All hail our "lord and saviour Andrew Huberman".
I agree this is a really important part of Juberman's suggestions...buuuut, I don't wanna! Alcohol is such a ritual and quality of life element, to me it's worth keeping in so that my years are fuller and happier :)
i def wanna try ag1 but i would in the future specify possible reasons not to use them. for example, one adaptogen in them has been recommended to be avoided during pregnancy due to risk in miscarriage. also some ingredients may interact with medication in a negative way. i don’t think the product itself is bad but these disclaimers are important. i know the website has it under the FAQ section but that can easily be missed
New viewer, really liking Keltie's vids...but though I'm a native english speaker I find myself constantly rewinding to listen more cuz she speaks so fast!!!
The cool thing about cold showers is that it's never quite like you're starting from scratch again even if it's been months since your last one. I've been (lazily) trying to regularly implement them since I was about 16 (now 22). I've gone through phases with it, usually had a couple of consistent months every summer and every now and then cold showers throughout the rest of the year. Point is, even though it was never consistent for very long, overall my tolerance to cold exposure keeps getting better each year. Now I can't shiver from cold showers alone, I have to have an ice bath to get the same reaction I used to have.
Re: cold shower. To make it sustainable, try just jumping in as soon as the shower is turned on and stand under until it warms up. Then you get the benefits, you don’t get fully cold tolerant, and you have the reward of the warm water after. I do this and do another quick cold rinse at the end and it’s been a game changer. Done is better than perfect!
Would love a follow-up on the bone density results. I'm 32 and had osteoporosis/osteopenia since my 20s due to an eating disorder. My mom also recently got diagnosed with osteoporosis. I've heard that the DEXA scans aren't necessarily accurate though because they don't look at the architecture of the bone, which is better for bone strength rather than just looking at bone density. TBS (trabecular bone score) is a better marker in that regard.
I’m a sucker for sunrises and sunsets , it’s a divine moment of the day for me! I love cold air and sea and showers and I sleep with windows wide open. I do regularly breath work and kundalini yoga. I just have to start running which is on my list for soo long 🙈. This is a great motivation Keltie! And I will order that AG1, pricey but we don’t save money on our health right! Love your videos 💫
I swear I must have been getting these pop up on my recommendations through this channel. Never really noticed you talk about him but I have been binging his content in this last week - so freaky you then do this video (at least for me haha) Love the videos and ways you implemented his routine/advice
What crazy timing!!! I feel honoured youtube lumps me with AH 🥹
@@KeltieOConnor I have also noticed Andrew tends to comment on videos of people implementing his routine so ...
Great Summary of Dr. Huberman's advice with actual experience.
Work on call on weekends which completely upsets the sleep cycle thus similar to traveling and jet Lag. This summary was benificial since fatigue based on the upset sleep cycle is very difficult to overcome.
The cold showers have to be one of the best mental hardener there is. I don't care how tough you think you are, waking up in the winter and taking a cold shower first thing in the morning absolutely sucks, it'll turn just about anyone into a quivering baby. You grit your teeth, every millisecond is pain, your hands and head go numb, you question why you exist, but I love it. Good for you Keltie for doing it, very few people are tough enough to do it for a year.
I don't care if there are any actual physical health benefits or not, the mental strengthening is worth it for me. Life in North America is so easy, we have to find ways to make it hard, otherwise we will risk never realizing our potential because we were too weak to ever reach it.
I work from home and stare at a screen for 8 hours, I think actively seeking the sun out in the mornings would be a major improvement for me, plus the streching.
We didn’t have AG growing up but mom made us fresh vegetables +fruits juices 🥤 every day!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Mr. Huberman is a smart man. You are awesome for implementing each of these changes into your lifestyle.
My boyfriend and i are obsessed with our wellness era!! It’s healthy szn, babyyyy 🎉
I LOVE this!! You make me want to do this, lol, or similar stuff!!! My depression and anxiety hold me back, but I REALLY want to do it! Taking it month by month might be helpful!!! I love when you said adding these things in made you feel more productive instead of feeling like it was taking time away by doing those things!!! That’s the mindset I need! Also…your poor Fiddle Leaf!!! I can help if you would like tips 🌿💚 I love my Fiddles!
This is one of the most positive and comprehensive videos I've seen, and I love it! Also, I think we're like.. the same person, haha - Keep crushin' it.
subbed for your minimalism and declutter series, it never continued lol
I feel this video so much. And I will deep dive into Andrew Huberman's Podcast RIGHT NOW. Thank you Keltie
I am 38 years old and I am defintely not in a good shape due to an auto immune condition but the worst is my energy. When I see you energetic and full of life make me crave it so hard! In the past, I used to wake up and bounce in my sportswear to have a run....
I'm 28 and I also feel the same due to an autoimmune disease. My energy is so low all the time. So don't feel bad it's the normal for us. But I know it's really hard. I was also running before this, but know everyday tasks feel too much sometimes. So you're not alone ☺️
Keep searching for answers! I'm 38 with autoimmune diseases. I have chronic fatigue, chronic pain, chronic illness. But I've figured out if I stay very active, as in, on my feet 8-10 hours a day, doing 10,000 steps, the whole thing, I feel better. I'm always looking for tips and tricks for energy and feeling better. Constantly trying new things pays off. It's a battle every minute of every day but I just don't let the fatigue and pain win. I don't let myself lay down. It's not an option. My body has gotten used to functioning with the pain and fatigue so I'm not at all limited by my conditions and it's made my pain and discomfort tolerance increase significantly. I physically feel like crap but my mood is always good and I'm always active. I walk circles around the younger healthy people and it gives me such a boost to know I'm still living my best life despite my issues.
same here with thyroid issues, what really impacts me is work + long commute. This makes my whole body be in pain, regardless of other activities like sports or yoga. It's like a psychosomatic pain. Unfortunately the world functions on us trading our health for constant productivity.
@@lindsaypez1048 that’s awesome! One has to keep trying things to see what helps. My son suffers from health issues. I asked him how he manages knowing how much pain he’s in. He said, mom, I can lay in bed and feel like shit or I can go out and have a life. Either way, I feel like shit but at least I can choose to have a life. Love and blessings to you. ❤
a vancouverite I can look up too. I just discovered AH channel this year, and im so excited to start my journey implementing the things ive been learning
Great video! Consistency and transparency are great traits you have keep it up
Re: bone density-I was osteoporotic but am now much improved and out of the dangerous range; I implemented a simple exercise after reading a study about it (I'm a medical professional). You jump once every 30 seconds for 5 minutes, twice a day. That was boring so I added alternating ankle lifts (standing with one foot on the edge of a wooden chair and lifting one foot up and down) and slow squats in the 30 second intervals. I use a wooden chair in my bedroom to jump off of, but if you''re actually osteoporotic check with your doctor first, and start with just jumping up in the air off the ground; reduce the impact any time you get increased back pain after the exercise. BTW this practice also greatly *decreased* my back pain when done regularly. I do one set at the beginning of my exercise routine and another at the end, an hour or so later.
A rebounder is great for jumping without negatively impacting your joints.
@@believeingood : true, but unless your physician recommended that versus jumping on the ground, you wouldn't be reproducing the study parameters and might not get the same results
the ag1 part is literally an ad but u say its not, but then link your REF LINK in the bio. thats an ad
Really enjoyed this. Yes I love Andrew Huberman. He is so knowledgeable and I love how be backs up with mostly solid research. The reason I listened to you here is because I saw you were trying out some of his protocols and I was really keen to hear how you got on. It was very interesting and you made it very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you.
Interesting! I find most of these hacks cost either time, or money, or both, except one: getting sober. Stopped drinking my daily 2 glasses of wine over a year ago. It’s by far the most effective thing I ever did for my fitness and health, in combo with nutrient dense food, body weight exercise, along with plenty of recovery. All these things promote good sleep, which helps with energy. And yeah we also need some sunlight. Everything else is decimal dust in my opinion.
Quit caffeine a year ago and alcohol now two months. Not missing the daily drinking or all the problems with it. Best thing I ever did.
You know I've been avoiding videos about Huberman's stuff bc of the snake oil salesman affect, but this really opened my eyes to what he has to say and how he can be helpful on my own wellness kick I hope to get going this year. Also, I appreciate the realness when it comes to your approach of trying something, letting us know you arent 100% doing every little thing mentioned every day, it makes it feel approachable, because humans and our needs are flexible.
Wow 🤩 my parents were so ahead of the times. Cold showers 🧼 were mandatory when I was growing up. Full disclosure: I did grow up in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 🇧🇷 which I know makes it a lot easier, but still… shout out to all progressive and innovative moms and dads. Say hi 👋🏻 your mom - I know she and my mom would definitely be BFFs if they ever meet. Beijos e abraços da sua amiga brasileira e portuguesa
🇧🇷🇵🇹🩰✊🏻
Wow I love that you were already on the cold shower train!!! Amazing 👏🏻 I will make sure to tell my mom that she’ll love it
probably one of my favourite videos from you ever
Hey Keltie would you do a video suggesting ideas to gradually get yourself back into fitness after a long time out?
What a great comprehensive video! And I didn’t even know about the huberman podcast until Keltie mentioned it on a video. It sparked my interest as well and I’ve enjoyed listening in conjunction with watching keltie incorporate things!
I would be careful with "ANY" information you get, i've spotted andrew huberman on some BS in the passed, coach greg and others have called him out on a number of things too so always just do your due diligence before hoping into things.... btw 2 month update, things are getting back on track with the training, its just taking longer as I was out for nearly 4yrs (muscle plactification, one step away for actual decay) first month was rough, second month things became more adaptable, thinking for the next 3 months i'm just gonna focus on muscle endurance..... btw been liking the new style of the new content lately, keep up the great work.... have a great week
Very true! No matter who is talking always have to do your own due diligence 👏🏻 that’s amazing, excited for month 3 for you! So happy you’re enjoying the new content lately :)
Agree w this. he’s gotten into pushing disinformation and pseudo science. Sad b cuz his early stuff is good.. makes me wonder if someone got 2 him $$$
Thank you for this. Excellent distillation. Now I can target my searches on his podcasts. Listening to him is like drinking from a firehose.
I too find myself quoting Dr. Huberman, so much so that my wife rolls her eyes when I start off with: "I heard this on a podcast ..."
Id love Keltie to do the fitness challenges that Dr Andy Galpin talks about in HubermanLab podcast episodes. He does a series of 6 with Huberman, and i think they go through them in the first episode of 6. i think theres 7 that test strength, endurance, cariovascular health, agility etc. would be amazing to watch perhaps a before and after a year etc.
I'm with you on the cold showers. I don't mind a plunge, but the showers are rough!! Great video. Huberman Army for Life 👊
Super awesome job as always, Keltie!❤❤
Thank you Ervin!!
You’re welcome, Keltie!
just found this channel. In terms of running in zone 2. Elite distance runners will generally run about 80% of their runs easy and 20% hard. This means we could do only 2 or 3 hard runs each week, totally maybe 2 hours of hard work maximum, while still running 8-10 hours a week with the rest of it being closer to a conversational pace. This really is where gains are seen and is a nice way to also have a conversation with fellow training mates
Thank you for this! 🙏🏼
love this!!!! When you introduced him my head played his intro saying “I’m a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology” loll
Would love to know more about where you got the full health check done and what you thought of it!
