In this solo YouTube monologue, Andy Hnilo walks through his comprehensive morning routine, emphasizing a holistic approach to health and wellness. He begins with oral hygiene, using a Waterpik and brushing with essential‑oil‑infused Dr. Bronner’s peppermint toothpaste. Living in Sedona, Arizona, he grounds his feet in the “sacred dirt,” recites daily affirmations, and thanks the universe. He then performs a 9‑minute breathwork session before using a Celluma red‑light device while applying Ojo de Oro, a copper‑peptide topical he claims boosts collagen production and rejuvenates skin. Afterward, he loosens his hips, offers a prayer toward Thunder Mountain, drinks coffee, and finishes with a Joovv red‑light session, citing the long‑studied benefits of photobiomodulation for overall health beyond skin. The video blends practical steps, product recommendations, and spiritual elements, presenting a ritualized start to the day that aims to optimize physical, mental, and energetic wellbeing.

What's your morning routine look like? The whole thing, not just skincare. Wake up, I go in and I have a Waterpik, right? I had gum issues, teeth issues. I didn't want to do the Waterpik. Now I can't go a day without it. Then I brush with essential oils. I use sea buckthorn, blood orange, clary sage, and myrrh. And I brush with Dr. Bronner's peppermint. I live in Sedona, Arizona. I get my feet into the ground, into the sacred dirt out here. Do my little daily affirmations, which is the same thing every day. Thank you, universe. Thank you for everything. I love you. And then I'll I'll go inside, do my little 9-minute breathwork, and I'll have my little Celluma above me. I'll apply my new product, Ojo de Oro. The red light combined with that copper peptide completely rejuvenates the skin. It's been proven to increase collagen production, and I cannot tell you how good I feel once that breathwork's done. After that, I'll reach over my counter and get the hips loose, and then I say a prayer looking out to Thunder Mountain. It sets the tone. Then I get to have my coffee, and then I'll pop on the Joovv red light. A ton of benefits. Photobiomodulation, been studied for decades. It's incredible for our health overall, not just skin.
