Not all types of exercise benefit every body type and blood type. It’s also important to set your goals before jumping into an exercise regiment. They exercise regularly as a family to build endurance and strength for intense travel, as well as feeling good and processing stress. Stepping on the scale for a specific weight is not why they exercise. How the family functions and feels is much more the motivator. Their family loves doing a combination of strength training, running, yoga, swimming and rock climbing. 


Exercise

What their family eats is a big part of staying healthy. They try their best to eat organic produce, grain-free, grass-fed beef and pasteurized eggs. They love the book, Eat Right for Your Blood Type.

Diet

For 10+ years, their family has been taking Univera’s Xtra and Aloe. They buy the Live Young Perfect Combo Deluxe product because it comes with small travel bottles for when they're on the road. But if you don’t travel a lot, they suggest you get the Live Young Perfect Combo that is cheaper. This product helps with cell renewal which means energy, mental clarity, focus, joint support and more. The Aloe is incredibly healing for stomach issues, mold, and allergies to name a few. Me Ra's mom first found this product because her dad, brothers and Me Ra travel internationally every month. She wanted something to help the family's immune systems stay strong. After 10 years of taking this product, Me Ra will tell you this product has been ESSENTIAL to their strong health. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT UNIVERA.

Univera

Brian drinks Bulletproof Coffee every morning to feed his body and brain the healthy fats it needs for creativity, focus, energy and to curb sugar or salt cravings. Bulletproof Coffee is a combination of Ghee, MCT Oil, Truvia and sometimes Collagen for tasteless, odorless protein. Since Me Ra is allergic to caffeine, she replaces the coffee with tea or organic Vanilla Powder. You can see the book, Bulletproof Diet, to learn more.

Bulletproof Coffee

They take Amino Acids with water to help hydrate their bodies from sleep. Brian and Me Ra take this twice a day, sometimes three if they have an intense work out day or the heat is overwhelming in Texas or Thailand.


Hydration

They start every morning with fresh lemon squeezed into a glass of water to shift the acidic stomach to alkaline for better digestion throughout the day.

Morning Ritual

This is one of Me Ra's favorite parts of the FAQ because keeping their family healthy, strong and creative is not by accident. After twenty-five years of searching for the best supplements and daily practices to stay healthy, this is what their daily regiment looks like;
