1. Shield Your Skin (and Eyes) from the Inside Out
Take Astaxanthin – I use Nibu Natural. It’s like internal SPF. This powerhouse antioxidant protects your skin from sun damage, supports collagen and eye health, and helps reduce sunburn—ideal for beach holidays or walking tours.
2. Neutralise Plane Stress
Flying creates oxidative stress and dehydration. I drop a hydrogen tablet in my water before and during the flight—fast, powerful cellular protection. The Echo bottle is a solid option too, just less travel-friendly. I use H2Tabs Hydrogen Water by Gary Brecka or the Echo Flask.
3. Stay Hydrated and Recovered Like a Pro
Planes, heat, alcohol, and restaurant food deplete your minerals fast. I use magnesium glycinate at night and RePowr daily to keep energy, sleep, and digestion dialled in.
4. Reset Your Body Clock and Recharge Your Cells
Within 30 mins of waking, get outside—no sunglasses. Combine morning light with barefoot grounding to realign your circadian rhythm, improve mood, and literally recharge your body. Morning Sunlight + Shoes Off
5. Eat Adventurously, Digest Like a Pro
New cuisines and heavier meals? Enzymes help prevent bloating and discomfort. I also use methylene blue for mitochondrial support and extra antioxidant firepower when I’m pushing my system.
Bonus Hacks (because I couldn’t stop at five):
-
Blue-blocking glasses – a non-negotiable for sleep in new time zones.
-
Activated charcoal – binds to alcohol and food toxins, especially when eating less-than-optimal meals.
-
Avoid plane food – It’s ultra-processed, microwaved, and often full of seed oils. I bring my own.
