Yes, it was a color run! LOL I am covered in chalk dust but couldn’t be happier. This photo was taken after I ran a 5k last month. I still can’t wrap my head around it. If you asked me a year ago if I would ever even consider running a 5k, I may have told you that you were crazy to even think such a thing. Without getting in to too much detail, I never felt good. Like, ever! About a year ago I made some big changes in my daily habits and routine that had such an amazing effect on my life. I want to share them with the world.

How to create the best morning routine for success

organic coffee (mold and pesticide free)
apple cider vinegar with the “mother”
filtered water
organic lemons
cayenne pepper
a good quality MCT oil
minerals, such as BEAM micro boost
bone broth, preferably homemade

1. Water for the best morning routine success

Water is vital! On average, our bodies are made up of about 60% water. That’s a lot. However, most of our drinking water is contaminated. Therefore, many of us don’t enjoy the taste. Filtering the water will eliminate much, if not most, of the odor and taste. Adding something as simple as a fresh squeezed lemon can make it so much more enjoyable to drink.

2. Lemon

Adding fresh organic lemon is the perfect way to rehydrate yourself first thing in the morning. Lemon also has anti-aging benefits and is a great source of potassium. It also helps boost mood. It can help fight indigestion, heartburn and bloating. Therefore, it sounds good to me!

3. Cayenne

Cayenne pepper may seem like a strange thing to add to your morning drink. Hey, it helps reduce appetite and if that were the only benefit alone, I would probably still choose to add it. There are antioxidants in it which can help fight cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, coughs, colds and inflammation, protecting the nervous system as well.

4. How to include coffee in your morning routine

If your morning routine includes coffee, please consider drinking organic coffee to create the best morning routine for success. Coffee beans are loaded with pesticides, fertilizers, and grossest of all MOLD. Therefore, choose organic and if at all possible. Drink it black without the addition of heavy creams and sugars. If black is not an option, try adding an organic cream or half and half. Real maple syrup and coconut sugar are better options for sweeteners than syrups, sugar-free syrups or conventional processed sugar. Coffee is full of polyphenols and antioxidants. You get 7 times the amount if you consume an Unfiltered coffee such as one made in a French press.

5. MCT oil

I add MCT oil to my morning coffee. It helps me feel fuller, longer! Yes, please! It also helps increase energy levels, weight loss, inflammation, boosts the immune system, and promotes mental clarity. I can use more of that! It can also lower blood sugar and insulin levels. I have lost 35 pounds using MCT oil in my daily coffee.

6. Apple Cider Vinegar

I love adding apple cider vinegar to my morning ritual in a glass of water. Purchase ACV that is not pasteurized. Use vinegar with the “mother”, meaning the mother is the source of probiotics in the vinegar. ACV is packed with probiotics. Additionally, pasteurized vinegar will not have the probiotics in it that one including the “mother” has. It has great anti-microbial and antibacterial properties as well as aids in detoxification. Just add what you can handle to start. Start with 1 teaspoon and add your way up to a full tablespoon. Nonetheless, the benefits are worth it.

7. Minerals

Adding a high-quality shot of minerals is essential in creating the best morning routine for success. The BEAM brand provides cellular support by containing naturally occurring micronutrients. Ladies, it supports a healthy menstrual cycle along with supporting healthy gestation, birth and lactation. Equally, it provides a gentle system detox. I take 1/2 capful every morning. The best part is that it is tasteless.

8. Bone broth, consider adding it to your morning ritual

Homemade bone broth is the best, but a good quality organic store bought is fine. Sipping on both broth in the morning is comforting. It is a big collagen boost, improves sleep habits, and aids in healthy digestion, reduces inflammation and is also an immune booster. Another option is powdered. When I don’t have fresh bone broth, I use Ancient Nutrition Bone broth powder. See link below.

Occasionally, there are days when you won’t be able to do it all. That’s ok. Work your way up. Your body and health will thank you for it. Surprisingly, you will eventually look forward to each step of the process. Therefore, I encourage you to try at least one or two of these morning routine game changers. That being said, you got this! I look forward to hearing your morning routine success stories! To conclude, eat well, feel well and play. Life it too short, indeed!
