First, things first: I changed my diet. I used to be an omnivore who consumed meat at every meal—now, I eat mostly plant-based, with wild-caught fish twice a week and grass-fed meat about once a month.
I also began to practice intermittent fasting. I usually fast for a 16- or 18-hour period overnight. No breakfast in the morning, just espresso or black coffee to start my day.
This may come as a surprise, but I now work out less, not more. There was a period of my life when I did strength training three to five times a week for an hour or so; I frequented 90-minute yoga classes three to five times a week, as well. Today, as a busy CEO and parent of two young girls, those days are long gone. Instead, I strength train and practice yoga two times a week for 10 minutes. And guess what? I feel more fit than ever! That said, I am also in constant motion: I take the stairs whenever I can, and I walk about 11,000 steps a day.
