Learning Objectives
- Sleep – the start and end of most fatigue courses, we cover sleep in a deeper way, tying sleep into all the other elements of the program in a way that none of the others even attempt.
- Nutrition and Hydration – keeping our bodies and minds sharp requires putting in the right fuel—and avoiding the bad stuff. We walk through the body’s response to various nutrition types and sources, as well as “boosters” like caffeine.
- Aging – we all get old, but we can do it better using our diets and exercise, getting enough sleep, and other vital activities like stretching.
- Exercise – not everyone loves to exercise, but especially if fatigue is a problem in your life, just a few hours of moderate exercise per week can really help. We go over various ways to ensure you find the time and energy to prioritize this important component of the program that ties everything together.
