Dr. Betty Murray and Lisa Tsakos present the Balance Blueprint, seven nutrition principles to boost energy: balance blood sugar, add fiber, eat quality protein and fats, support digestion, eat more plants, and stay hydrated. Each principle includes concrete, cost-free actions you can start today.
So we talk about nutrition, digestion, nutrition, sleep, but I would say it's probably the balance blueprint is probably the biggest kind of like, that chapter ties everything together. It brings everything that we talk about in the book together. And what that is, so it's not 3, I have 7, I hope that's okay. So what we found in our research, what we found, so Lisa Tsakos, who's been a clinician, a practicing nutritionist for 30 years, what her and I have dug, digging through the research, looking at everything, What we found was following these principles, these basic principles will make a big difference. So number 1 is balancing blood sugar levels. Number 2, so A, adding more fiber. We focus so much on protein, which by the way, loading up on protein is L, very important. But I don't want you to forget about the fiber part because that's really important too. A is adding good quality fats. So like our omega-3s, excellent. Uh, N is nurturing digestion. C is choosing more plants and E is ensuring you're hydrated. So those are the basic guidelines to be like, okay, and then we go through each one and I provide examples. And examples, by the way, that you can implement right after reading the book that won't cost you any money.
