Part 1: Sleep Soundly
Sleep is not just rest; it’s an active recovery process that supports every function in the body and brain. Quality sleep boosts your immune system, regulates appetite, enhances cognitive function, and supports muscle repair. Dr. Wells emphasizes that getting high-quality sleep can have a profound ripple effect on your daily life. Learn more in the video and the workbook.

Part 2: Eat smarter
Nutrition plays a crucial role in healing by providing the body with the nutrients it needs to repair and regenerate. Nutrient-dense foods, rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, support optimal health by promoting tissue repair, boosting immunity, and reducing inflammation.

Part 3: MOVE MORE
Exercise and activity enhance cognitive performance by improving cognitive performance, promoting the release of growth factors, while also elevating our health. Physical activity improves memory, focus, and learning by stimulating the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which strengthens brain cells and connections.

Part 5: Learn & StraTEGIZE
Alpha brainwave states occur during relaxed alertness. In this state, the brain is calm yet reflective, fostering learning, strategic thinking, and the ability to plan. Slowing down is essential for tapping into alpha states, as mental and physical stillness enhances the brain’s ability to absorb new information, reflect, and plan effectively.

Part 6: Creativity & INNOVATION
The deep calm associated with theta waves helps foster creativity, which not only supports cognitive performance but also reduces anxiety and depression. When we are in a creative state characterized by theta wave activity, multiple regions of our brain activate at the same time and connect to each other, enabling EUREKA! moments.

Part 9: Flourish & Thrive
Thrive is a key principle of living a life marked by health, wellbeing, and optimal performance. Thriving helps us to transition from mere survival to thriving by cultivating development and success across physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Thriving is easier when we know the people, places and pursuits that elevate us. We hope this video helps you set the stage to shift from survive to thrive!
Part 7: Breathe & Flow
Breath sustains life and optimizes our energy via fuelling our mitochondria. Deliberate breathing techniques can enhance oxygen delivery, energy production, and overall vitality, while reducing stress. This section introduces breathwork for improved cellular function, helping you harness the power of breathing for health and peak performance.

Part 8: ENERGIZE & BALANCE
The "Energize" section of the Program delves into methods to optimize human energy by targeting the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. This session explains how stress, nutrition, movement, and environmental factors can either enhance or deplete our energy. A key concept discussed is hormesis, which refers to the idea that mild stressors such as exercise, hydration and nutrition, or temperature variations can stimulate cellular adaptation and promote peak performance and health.
A critical takeaway is the principle that "a little stress is good, a lot is not." Short-term stress, like brief bursts of exercise or exposure to cold, can activate protective mechanisms in the body, such as the release of antioxidants and growth factors. However, chronic stress, on the other hand, leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced energy levels, and health deterioration.
