INTRODUCTION

This guide has been created as a resource for you to thrive. After we created

the movie Vitality, we’ve been bombarded with thousands of emails from

people who have been inspired by the film and want to know what next steps

they can take in order to get more Vitality in their lives. That is why we

created the 100 Day Vitality Challenge. This guide is a free resource we’ve

created as an adjunct to the full program that will help point you in the right

direction and get you to the tools and resources you’ll need in order to get

more Vitality in your life. We also released the Vitality Wisdom Deep Dive 2

DVD set, which is a treasure trove of extra footage that wasn’t in the movie.

This is the powerful stuff we really wanted to include but simply couldn’t fit

into the timeline. Take a good look through this guide first and then look at

some of the resources we’ve pooled together for you. We’re here to help and

support you all along the way.

THE BEGINNING
We’ve broken the framework of health into a generalized “wheel” of

Vitality, which is comprised of Diet, Exercise, Sleep, and Mindset. This

framework gives you a starting point to see where you’re at currently and

then make some small meaningful adjustments that will go a long way.

Each section will be laden with tools, videos, audio clips, or graphics that

can help you understand the essentials of health and, from there, how to

actually thrive in our busy toxic world.

Whether you are trying to get healthy, improve strength and fitness,

condition your body with exercise, or fix your posture, we’ve got you

covered.
V I TA L I T Y
The central notion of Vitality is a concept of health and

well being that emerges from within. Vitality is that

which we reinforce in order to stay healthy. We’re born

with it and should look to preserve it so we can have a

long and healthy life. Getting all of the other spheres

on the wheel going can enhance vitality and health (as

seen in the movie), but it is also important to use some

of the ancient healing arts we have at our disposal. Yoga,

Tai Chi, and Qi Gong are great to enhance Vitality. The

central concept being that there is an energy that is the

currency of life and, through healthy living, breathing,

and conscious relaxation, we could enhance this energy

and increase our personal Vitality.

SKIN CARE
WITHOUT
TOXIC
CHEMICALS
Many of us use lotions, sunscreens, and

deodorants on our skin, perhaps even every

day. Do we know what really goes in our beloved

skin care products? Let’s investigate! When

we put chemicals on our skin, it is actually way

worse than if we were to ingest them. Why?

because when we eat something, the enzymes

in our saliva and stomach help break down the

“something” and flush out any toxins from the

body. Unfortunately, personal care products

and cosmetics absorb directly through the

pores. That’s why people who use makeup on a

daily basis can absorb almost 5 pounds of toxic

chemicals into their bodies each year. Wow!


HERE IS A QUICK LIST OF COMMON TOXIC CHEMICALS
TO AVOID IN YOUR PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS:
1. PHTHALATES AND PARABENS 3. PROPYLENE GLYCOL

everywhere, we’ve got to really be careful and seek out

clean sources of foods—especially fruits and vegetables.

Either buy organic or at least use a non-toxic vegetable wash

that will clean some of the toxic chemicals off of your food.

The problem is that many foods get toxins in systemically

and, therefore, we take them in when we eat them. Here’s a

list of the basic foods you must get organic:

Meat Apples Lettuces


Milk Bell Peppers Grapes
Coffee Celery Potatoes

reforming our diet. Eating a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods

provides a million and one benefits. We get the protein, vitamins,

antioxidants, minerals, and essential fatty acids that help our

body thrive. Preparing most of our meals at home helps us adjust

to a healthier regimen. There are many health benefits to home-

cooked meals. The most obvious is the benefit of controlling

what types of ingredients go into the meal. When we eat out

at a restaurant, we lose this advantage. Restaurant dishes may

taste great and leave us begging for more, but don’t let the butter

and salt fool you. Commercially prepared foods are infamously

high in fat, sugar and salt. They drown the food with sauce and

salt, because the only thing restaurants have to worry about is

whether you’ll come back for more. When you eat out you’re not

100% in control of what goes on your plate.

sauerkraut (100 grams) provides 24% of your daily
value for Vitamin C. it also contains vital phytochemicals
that are created during the fermentation process. These
compounds help keep your body safe from diseases.
They help reduce common health problems, such as skin
disorders, flues, colds, and weight gain.

DECREASES CANCER RISK

Both cabbage and sauerkraut exhibit anticancer


characteristics, according to a study published in
“Phytotherapy Research” in August 2012. Furthermore,
cabbage is found to contain compounds that may decrease
lung cancer risk. So the combination of healthful cabbage
and the fermentation process produces a powerhouse
of benefits. The probiotic cultures that derive from
fermentation can detoxify ingested carcinogens and
stimulate the immune system. They also create an
environment in your gut that is hostile to carcinogenic
compounds. More specifically, these probiotic cultures
create organic compounds that can inhibit the growth of
tumors and cancer cells.

Remember to buy only sauerkraut that is freshly made,


raw, unpasteurized and organic. You can probably find it
in the refrigerated aisle of local health food markets or
farmers markets. Try to avoid canned sauerkraut, because
it offers far fewer nutrients and probiotic benefits.

We have an even better idea... Why not make your own


sauerkraut? It’s quick, easy, and you know exactly what’s
in it.
CARBS
The problem with too many carbohydrates
is that we tend to store them as fat. Also, it is
estimated that up to 50% of the population
is now sensitive to gluten, which causes
all sorts of immune system issues. Now if
you’re training for a marathon, chances
are you’ll need some to get you the energy
you need but in reality, most of us don’t use
those kinds of calories but we eat that way
too often.

Is Gluten Really That Bad? It Depends...`


SUGARS
Sugar… baaaaaaad – a simple premise that we can all get
behind (until confronted with that giant chocolate chip
cookie someone evilly left on the break room table at
lunch, that is). But when you start thinking about it, it’s
not so simple.

Doesn’t fruit have sugar? Are we not supposed to eat


fruit–ever? Gulp. Or, how about agave nectar? That was
all the rage for a while then the hype sort of died down…
What’s up with that?

What are the alternatives? Or are we destined for a life


of food without that sunny bit of flavor? Unsweetened
sweets? That’s a sad thought.

OK, a little dramatic. But we do love our sweets and


need to have some viable alternatives. So we consulted
a few sugar experts to help us get a sense of the
best (and worst) sweeteners and sugar alternatives.
According to Victoria Brodsky, head of nutrition for
ContentChecked, three types of sugars get the most
attention: fructose, glucose and sucrose. Fructose is a
natural sugar found in fruits, glucose is found in our blood
and sucrose is known as table sugar, obtained from sugar
cane or sugar beets.

In terms of what we should and shouldn’t be eating,


Brodsky, clinical nutritionist Amanda Hayes-Morgan and
holistic nutritionist Mitra Shirmohammadi helped break

HOW TO OPTIMIZE DIET AND
EXERCISE FOR MORE ENERGY
In this module, Dr. Pedram Shojai

gets into how we lose energy in our

daily lives and what we need to do

to restore it. Our health and Vitality

come from an elaborate system of

energy extraction, which we need to

optimize in order to thrive in life.


EXERCISE
ADAPTIVE WORKPLACE FITNESS
Approximately 78 million people in the United States are
obese, according to The Journal of the American Medical
Association and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Now an epidemic, obesity is a part of the lives
of approximately one-third of our American population.
Obesity has become and will continue to be a grave threat
to the health of our nation’s population if we don’t change
this “sedentary lifestyle.”

The list of preventable comorbidities that go hand-in-hand


with obesity include: heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes
and certain types of cancer. Economically speaking,
obesity and its many comorbidities create a substantial
price tag. Estimated annual medical costs for the treatment
of obesity and obesity-related diseases in the U.S. are $191
billion. In simple terms, the U.S. will spend $1,400 more per
year on an obese individual compared to an individual who
is not obese.

Along with the rapid changes and remarkable advances


that technology has afforded Americans in completing a
day’s work, the majority of our population now completes
a day’s work in a sitting environment. Gone are the days of
manual labor. A sedentary lifestyle has become the norm.
Our society has fallen victim to this “sitting disease” both at
work and home. How do we combat this sedentary workday
cycle?
First, identify your current
level of physical activity. Set

below the knee on your shin to create the figure four. This

modification will lessen the strain on already tight hips. Flex

your right foot and pull your toes toward your right shin as you
place your right hand on your thigh to level your hips. These

movements will deepen the stretch, but most importantly

remember to breathe even if you feel a deep sensation.

Extending your exhalations will allow the body to relax and

progress deeper into the movement. You may also lean forward

with a flat back folding from the hip creases to deepen the

stretch into your hip and right gluteus.


STRENGTHENING
Tricep Dips:

Using your chair, come to the edge of your seat and then step

feet out until knees are over your ankles (a 90-degree bend of

the legs). Wrap your hands around the sides of your seat as you

sit tall. Step your feet out one foot length each as you press the

heels of your hands into the seat and lift your bottom from the

chair. You are now holding yourself up and off the seat of the

chair. Inhale here and then as you exhale, bend your elbows and

lower your hips below the seat of your chair. Your goal is to bend

your elbows 90 degrees and lower yourself down, but then be

able to lift yourself back up by pressing into the heels of your

hands and straightening your arms. This will strengthen the back

of your arms, but remember to keep your core gently contracted

and breathe. Complete two sets, with eight to 10 reps each set.
CARDIO
Imaginary Jump Rope:

Cue the music and envision yourself like Rocky Balboa

preparing for your match against Apollo Creed. Pretend you are

holding a jump rope handle in each hand and begin to jump rope

in place. Remember to stay on your toes and breathe in through

your nose and out of your mouth. Keep the jumps small and

fast; the goal is to increase your heart rate and to move. It takes

as little as 30 seconds to increase your heart rate, however, if

you are sedentary, 30-second intervals may seem challenging.

Alternate between jumping and resting for a total of three

minutes. Do not rest for more than 10 seconds. The goal is to

gradually work your way up to three minutes of imaginary jump

roping without taking a break.

Chair modification: Sit on the edge of your seat with your

knees over your ankles. Lift your heels off the ground and come

onto the toes and ball mounts of your feet. Pretend you are

holding a jump rope handle in each hand and begin to jump your

feet as if you are jump roping and move your hands and wrists in

small circles like you are holding a real jump rope. Remember to

stay on your toes and lift your knees as high as your hips when

seated. Breathe in through your nose and out through your

mouth. See above for recommended length of time.


BEATING BAD
POSTURE
WITH TWO SPORTS
MEDICINE LEGENDS
Sitting is a low energy activity. When you

sit, the big muscles in areas like your legs and

back are not contracting. These major muscles

aren’t moving; therefore, metabolism slows

down (weight gain will ensue). It makes our

bodies think that we are in energy storage

mode. As a result, our bodies become resistant

to insulin, which increases the level of glucose

in the blood and reduces the level of good

cholesterol. These changes add to the risk of

obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Eager to learn more about beating bad posture?

Dr. Ben Rubin and Dr. Tim Brown, two legends

in the field, are here to share their insight on

posture, injuries, and athletic performance.


HOW QI GONG
AND YOGA CAN HELP
THE FOUR EASIEST
EXERCISES FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Downward Facing Dog Pose

A basic yet challenging yoga pose that stretches and lengthens

the spine develops shoulder muscles and can address postural

conditions such as kyphosis.

Standing Forward Bend

Forward bends will stretch your hamstring muscles, located on the

back of your thigh. If you have flat low back posture, this stretch

may help prevent it from getting worse, or even to reverse the

condition.

Child’s Pose

The child’s pose stretches the muscles of the low back, as well as

the inner thighs. It promotes flexibility, stress relief and helps

circulation to the muscles, joints and disks of the back.

Cobra Pose

While the cobra pose is a pose that many people readily associate
Pedram & Sarah On Back Pain
with yoga, its not safe for all types of back problems. people with

facet joint problems should approach cobra pose cautiously, if at

all.
Pedram produced this video in Africa while filming

the movie Origins. We had a couple of days off so the

crew went out to the banks of the Limpopo River on the

border of South Africa and Zimbabwe. This is a helpful

Qi Gong set from the Tai Chi Chuan tradition and is

designed to help invigorate the channels and lubricate

the joints. Whether you are new to Tai Chi or have an

existing practice, this set is particularly helpful.


SLEEP
Sleep is critical and many of us are missing it in our modern
lives. It is where lots of healing happens and where our
bodies detoxify when while our brains process our days.
When we get less sleep, we have less energy to work with
the following day. When we do this for extended periods
of time without recovery, we start to break down and
get sick. One of the major contributors to this is caffeine.
Why? Because with caffeine we can “borrow” energy
from tomorrow in order to get through today. We tap into
our adrenals like they are a never ending savings account
and push through our daily battles, not realizing that
tomorrow brings another set of problems. It has become
an epidemic in our culture.

people always ask me how I do it all. I decided to share my
secrets. I’ve spent quality time meditating on how to help
more people and make the world a better place. I took my
powerful 3 day seminar called “Energy Economics” and
blended it with my higher level “Life Mastery” course
because I wanted a single resource where our students
can learn to get out of their own way and achieve true
mastery, happiness, health, and wealth in life.

This may sound lofty but I’ve been teaching Fortune


100 CEOs, elite athletes, and dedicated students these
skills for the past 15 years. A blended course that was less
expensive and available to more people was what I was
striving for as my regular weekend seminars run $2,000
and higher. What I created here is a 3 month, 12 module
course with all the resources needed to learn how succeed
