First off...

Most parents were never taught ANYTHING about their physiology.

But EVERYONE can learn to operate their body and share the skills with the next generation👊🏽

1.) Breath is the intersection of our body, brain, and environment. Learning to breathe is a life skill that every parent must teach by modeling.

2.) Sleep is where the brain removes waste that has built up throughout the day. Sticky proteins clump between brain cells (the same ones related to dementia and Alzheimer's) Sleep is where the glymphatic system washes these proteins away. Mental health is not possible when the brain is filled with yesterday's junk. Teaching a child HOW to sleep well is a 21st century skill.

3.) Exercise regulates the brain chemicals responsible for mood, satisfaction, attention, motivation, and focus. It is a mental health non-negotiable, yet less than 1-4 of kids meet the minimum physical activity guidelines. You must be the mentor your child needs to build their brain and body.

4.) Nutrition is brain fuel. Poor fuel = poor performance. Each child's nutrition needs are unique. This takes work, exploration, and dedication to your child's health. The result is a child who shines with life, vibrancy, motivation and energy.

5.) Excessive screen time results in dopamine receptors (the landing pads for our motivation molecules) being desensitized. The result? In a sea of stimulation nothing is exciting. This inability to experience joy is the definition of depression.

You probably weren't taught this.

But you CAN teach it to your kids and break the cycle.

👉🏽 The Code of Potential - our new program for teens and families will teach you everything you need to know to raise healthy, resilient kids in the modern age. DM "Code of Potential" to join our inaugural cohort on August 16th!

Health is the result of a set of skills applied daily with support. It's time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first🧠🔥

It’s time to stop demonizing folks who need to make the painful decision to distance themselves from family. They aren’t cruel or selfish. They’re hurting and deserve to protect themselves from more hurt.
