What are some of your favorite recovery tools as far as just feeling good, preventing injury?
Getting the quality macronutrients and micronutrients that your body needs to recover. So protein, carbohydrates, and fats, and then your micronutrients. Make sure you're getting your vitamins and minerals, and then sleep. Some people need 6, some people need 9, and a lot of people have trouble going to sleep. But I would say you can utilize things like breathwork protocols, box breathing techniques, nasal breathing. What that does is that gets you into a parasympathetic state, a rest and digest state, as opposed to being highly sympathetic in that fight or flight state when you're training. You're breaking down muscle you're in a high cortisol, you want to bring down your stress levels so that you can have restful sleep.
