Morning Light Protocol
Get bright light in your eyes within 30 minutes of waking. This is the single most impactful thing you can do for circadian rhythm, energy, and sleep quality. Sunlight is best. Circadian lighting is the backup.
Method

Other Protocols
Cold Exposure Protocol
Structured daily cold water immersion for recovery, stress tolerance, and mental discipline. 2–5 minutes at 39–55°F. Consistent timing, consistent temperature. The discomfort is the point.
Wind-Down Protocol
A 90-minute pre-sleep sequence that systematically shuts down every stimulus keeping you awake. Light, temperature, screens, stimulation — each one gets addressed in order. This is how you fall asleep in under 10 minutes.
75 Hard
The original mental toughness program. Two workouts per day (one outdoor), follow a diet, drink a gallon of water, read 10 pages, take a progress photo. Every day. Miss any task, restart from day 1. This isn't a fitness plan — it's a test of who you are.
