#79 - How do I get control of my life?

Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise and I'm known as the 8 Minute Life Strategist to the world's busiest celebrities. I've been a fitness, nutrition, and peak performance trainer for over 20 years, and you may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Tyra Banks, President Clinton, Kelly Clarkson, Dr. Oz, Tony Robbins, or even Steve Harvey. My career started because in my early 20s I had no no control of my life, and experts told me I was tired and overweight because I didn't exercise enough and overate. They were wrong. I discovered that there are fitness shortcuts that would give you control of your life in less time. My passion to find the best science-backed fitness shortcuts has allowed me to write over 30 books and become a multiple New York Times bestselling author with over 9 million books in print. And I know I can help you get control of your life. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show.

Well, welcome everyone. It's September 23rd. It is Wednesday. I'm Jorge and welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. How are you? Uh, today I'm super charged up for today's show because in this simple episode, and all our episodes are under 20 minutes, I try to keep this short. I don't think even on the podcast a lot of us have time to listen to 3-hour conversations. Uh, when we do interviews, I've got a great one this week with Dr. Uh, Baker. He is the author of The Carnivore Diet. It'll be coming out this Friday. We went 90 minutes, we went long, but it's a provocative part 2 conversation about this carnivore diet, which has really become a staple of what I'm recommending to a lot of my celebrities, um, to improve health, especially immunity during COVID-19. But it's, it's incredible. So that'll be coming soon. But this episode, uh, super excited, is going to be all about really doing something that I think is critical during COVID and I think it's critical in life in general. It's about really learning how do we take control of our life again. Because I think the one theme I'm getting from everyone, whether it's via text or email or whatever I'm reading, you know, because I'm, I'm very blessed that so many of you guys stay in touch with me, and I feel like we're all feeling a little out of control. So today's show is about regaining that control, really regaining it through a simple 8-minute solution that will help you. And it's not exercise, it's, it's a hydration strategy using mineral-charged water and how that can turn off hunger in 8 minutes. And I'll tell you how to use that in just a minute. First, let me share with you our sponsors. We're brought to you by 8minuteslive.com. That's my website, and that's why I'm sponsoring our show, because I'm such a passionate advocate for our website. It just launched this, this month, and because it's September, I want to extend an invite for you to come visit us at 8, the number 8, minuteslive.com. It's a great website, really designed to give you my best shortcuts, um, in a format live. We do a livestream every morning at 7:00 AM. We're closed right now because we're sold out again. It's very limited. I keep it intimate. It's never going to be a massive, it's not millions of people. It's not hundreds of thousands of people. It's a small group, but it's a really powerful group of people that are improving their health through the strategies I've collected. Some of it is exercise, some of it is nutrition, and some of it is mindset. So if you're interested in working with me personally, go check that out. You can get on our waitlist. You can text me on that. It's super simple and it's free right now, just go on over. And I will be releasing soon the 8 Minute Cure class, really soon. It's been something that's been on hold for a little bit. I apologize, but I'm so excited that that's coming out soon. So thank you guys for, for your support. Number 2, we're brought to you by Zero Hunger Water. Now we're going to talk about that in today's show, partly because I'm going to show you how at home you can turn normal water into a mineral-charged water at home with some stuff you probably already have in your kitchen. You don't need to buy anything, and literally you can turn off hunger. So we're going to talk about that today. But if you're interested in a product I'm developing with the perfect balance of magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Check out Zero, the number zero but with a Z, Z-E-R-O, zerohungerwater.com. That'll be launching at the end of this year. So something I hope you, you take a peek at, but we're talking about it today, so don't even worry too much, but definitely get on that list. And then finally, brought to you by Primal Kitchen. Primal Kitchen for me is where I get my avocado oil and mayonnaise. Avocado oil, I hope you know, is probably one of the most beneficial oils out there. It's anti-inflammatory, it's made from avocados obviously, but this oil is perfect for high-temperature cooking. It's something my nutrition mentor Mark Sisson created a few years back, and now it's everywhere. It's all over Amazon, it's at Whole Foods, it's everywhere. Sometimes it's Costco. And what this avocado oil does is it gives incredible flavor to food, but it helps lower appetite further because healthy fats turn off hunger. And avocados are one of my favorite plant-based sources of healthy fats. So check out primalkitchen.com/jorge if you want a free Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise when you check out. Super simple. All right, so let's get started. So basically, what is the key to gaining control of your life? I'll tell you, in my perspective, you know, I've been doing this now 20 years, 25 years as a trainer, 20 years as an author. It's about health, because I believe if you feel like your life is a little whacked out— and I hate to say it, but during COVID a lot of us have lost our momentum, not just with our health, but just with everything— finances, relationships, uh, our health, right? But I believe the base of a good life, of a quality life where you feel confident And that's what this control is. It's about having a sense of true genuine confidence that makes you feel happy, makes you feel alive, makes you feel like life is passionate. Because I'll tell you, a life that is not passionate is a life some say is not worth living. And if you're just going day to day and just surviving, you need to listen right now and share this with your loved ones. Because I will tell you, to get control of your life is as simple as proper hydration. It's drinking the right kind of water. And so I have an affirmation I'm going to read to you here because it's powerful, and then I'm going to— we're going to keep talking about it because really it's about drinking 32 ounces of mineral-charged— because minerals like potassium, magnesium, sodium, the right amounts change regular— just tap water, regular mineral water, they say it's mineral, but such a small level of minerals. You need mineral-charged water to turn off hunger. And when you can do that, you super hydrate. Because here's the truth, listen to me on this, guys. When you wake up and you think you're hungry and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm starving, I need to eat pancakes, I need cereal, I need granola, I need some almond milk and granola and blueberries. You wake up feeling like this addiction to sugar, that's all these carbs are. It's not, 99% of the time, it is not true hunger. It is false hunger.

Hear me on this.

And it's truly dehydration. It's because we don't drink the right mineral-charged water. And so what I'm gonna share with you on today's show is how to create this water, because it's super, super simple. All you need is a teaspoon of pink salt. Now, my favorite pink salt comes from Redmond's Real Salt. You can Google them. I'll put a link on the show at jorgecruzeshow.com. Simple, very cost-effective. I have it on my Amazon store. If you go to jorgecruzeofficial.com, you can go to my Amazon store. It's very cost-effective. You put a teaspoon in 32 ounces. And you give yourself— this is the 8 Minute Cure, guys, listen to me— you give yourself 1 minute to drink 4 ounces, which is about half a cup. If you can drink 4 ounces of water for 8 minutes, you will drink 32 ounces of mineral-charged water. And what mineral-charged water will do is it will super hydrate your body. Imagine drinking this upon rising. Put a little lemon in it it if you want. It will— it's a game changer. Your hunger will be turned off. It's literally the off switch to hunger. It's the switch to gaining control of energy, of vitality, longevity, uh, confidence. Because when you can do this, you're in essence fasting. And you guys know I'm a big fan of intermittent fasting. And when you can do this anytime you're hungry, literally drink 32 ounces of mineral-charged water, you turn off hunger, and it lasts like 2 to 3 hours. And what's crazy, you may be thinking, oh God, am I going to be in the bathroom 5 minutes later? No, you're not going to bloat, you're not going to be swollen, none of that. Your body's going to utilize this for energy. It's going to utilize it to support your cells, cellular, uh, support mitochondria, support brain function. It's going to hydrate your skin so you feel young, you look beautiful. It does everything your body needs to stay functional at optimal levels. And this is something that's epidemic in this country right now, a lack of proper, proper hydration through mineral-charged water. So my 8-minute cure for you today, simple guys, is to use mineral-charged water, 32 ounces upon rising. All right, this is something I'm doing with my clients now live on our stream. And once we open up again, you can join us and take this accountability kind of challenge where we drink Literally 4 ounces of water every minute for 8 minutes. And then we do a workout, which is optional, which also turns off hunger because the science has shown that HIIT training will do that.

And then we do a bit of a visualization, which is powerful.

I don't want to waste time on that, but I want you to hear me one more time because this is the affirmation. I want you to hear the words and then we're going to say it 3 times. All right. It says, I drink 32 ounces of mineral charged water to turn off hunger. All right, so sit up tall, take a deep breath in, and let's say this together 3 times. 1, I drink 32 ounces of mineral-charged water to turn off hunger. Again, I drink 32 ounces of mineral-charged water to turn off hunger. This is the off switch, guys. One last time, hear it see it. See this beautiful water. It's going to have minerals in it. It's not salt.

It's not salt.

It's pink salt. It has magnesium, potassium, iron. It has everything you need to turn off hunger. And again, it says, I drink—

say this with me—

I drink 32 ounces of mineral-charged water to turn off hunger. It's that simple, guys. So do this affirmation today. Let me know what you think, guys, and I look forward to hearing your results. With this 8-minute challenge. Remember, 4 ounces every minute for 8 minutes, and you'll have 32 ounces down. All right, peace and purpose. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Take good care.
