I call it the # cellcare morning I call it the # cellcare morning I call it the # cellcare morning protocol. Four simple phases that align protocol. Four simple phases that align protocol. Four simple phases that align your gut, mind, and cells for the day your gut, mind, and cells for the day your gut, mind, and cells for the day ahead. Phase number one would be your ahead. Phase number one would be your ahead. Phase number one would be your hydration reset. This is your first five hydration reset. This is your first five hydration reset.

Think of this as rinsing your later. Think of this as rinsing your later. Think of this as rinsing your internal garden before planting the internal garden before planting the internal garden before planting the seeds. Phase two of this morning seeds. Phase two of this morning seeds. Phase two of this morning protocol is movement for stillness. Yes, protocol is movement for stillness. Yes, protocol is movement for stillness. Yes, the next five to 15 minutes, what I want the next five to 15 minutes, what I want the next five to 15 minutes, what I want you to do is move your body. Not for cl you to do is move your body. Not for cl you to do is move your body. Not for cl calories, but for clarity. Gentle yoga, calories, but for clarity. Gentle yoga, calories, but for clarity. Gentle yoga, stretching, or even a walk outside stretching, or even a walk outside stretching, or even a walk outside signals your gut to start moving, too.

It also increases lymphatic flow, which It also increases lymphatic flow, which It also increases lymphatic flow, which clears out cellular waste from the clears out cellular waste from the clears out cellular waste from the night. Here's the paradox. Movement night. Here's the paradox. Movement night. Here's the paradox. Movement first actually makes your stillness first actually makes your stillness first actually makes your stillness deeper later. By releasing physical deeper later. By releasing physical deeper later. By releasing physical restlessness, your mind is now ready to restlessness, your mind is now ready to restlessness, your mind is now ready to settle well for phase three. Phase three settle well for phase three. Phase three settle well for phase three. Phase three is fasting and mindfulness. So this is is fasting and mindfulness. So this is is fasting and mindfulness. So this is going to be your minutes maybe 15 to 25 going to be your minutes maybe 15 to 25 going to be your minutes maybe 15 to 25 in the morning. If you can extend your in the morning. If you can extend your in the morning. If you can extend your fast into the morning, this allows fast into the morning, this allows fast into the morning, this allows autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup crew, to keep working. Pair that fasting crew, to keep working. Pair that fasting crew, to keep working. Pair that fasting state with breath work or meditation.
