In this interview excerpt, Andy Hnilo describes his comprehensive morning routine that blends personal grooming, biohacking, and family connection. He emphasizes the importance of feeling prepared before leaving the house, detailing practices such as a thorough shave and personal care, using a Joovv red‑light therapy device, replacing coffee with a Bulletproof‑style raw cacao drink that includes MCT oil and grass‑fed butter, performing breathwork, taking cold showers, and making daily phone calls to his mother and father. He claims that consistent adherence to these rituals leads to profound transformation in his wellbeing.

You talked a little bit about your morning routine. Is there anything else that you're doing that seems really ritualistic or biohacker-ish?
I mean, what I do with my products, it's a big part of just my cleansing and the shave, you know, that personal care, prepping in the morning, knowing you're good when you leave the house. I'm big on that. I mean, things that make you feel good, talking to people that you love. I talk to my mom every morning and my dad. So I usually wake up when it's dark here, so I'll get the Joovv red light going. Well, I'm doing cacao now instead of coffee, raw cacao, boiling that down, making like a Bulletproof cacao out of that, still with MCT, grass-fed butter. I'll do some breathwork in the morning. Cold showers, all of that. So like, if you stay consistent with that, it's extremely transforming.
