My 5-Minute Biohacking Morning and Night...

Brittany Ford
About this episode

In this solo episode, I walk you through a potent and practical biohacking morning routine designed especially for moms and busy women. 

I explain how each step works with your biology to shift you out of fight-or-flight and into calm, confident energy—all in just five minutes.

Plus, I reveal my personal 5-minute nighttime ritual to help you unwind, reset your nervous system, and sleep more deeply—even if you're still waking up during the night.

WE TALK ABOUT: 

05:00 - Why you need to reclaim 5 minutes of morning calm

08:00 - Step 1: The health benefits of tongue scraping (copper tongue scraper)

11:40 - Step 2: Cold water face dunks and the dopamine effect

18:30 - Step 3: Quick mirror stretching to realign posture and fascia

22:30 - Step 4: Breathwork, mantras, and the power of visualization

25:47 - Step 5: The importance of hydration and mineral balance

29:00 - The 5-minute nighttime ritual for deeper, more restorative sleep

32:00 - Blue light detoxing and why your house should look like a brothel at night

36:30 - Mantras, gratitude, and the emotional power of self-holding (my nighttime tea)

41:00 - Legs up the wall: The adrenal reset you didn't know you needed
