Day 19: Travel Protocols (Beating Jet Lag)
The biggest opponent isn't the other team. It's the airplane. Flying is a hypoxic (low oxygen), low-humidity environment that radiates you and disrupts your hormones.
If you land and try to compete, you are operating at 80%.
The Anti-Jet Lag Protocol
1. Fasting on the Plane Digestion requires energy and biological rhythm. When you eat at 30,000 feet at 2 AM, your body gets confused.
- Rule: Fast during the flight (Water and Electrolytes only).
- Break Fast: Eat a high-protein meal strictly at local breakfast time upon landing. This resets the liver clock.
2. Sunlight Anchoring Your Circadian Rhythm is set by light entering the eyes.
- Landing AM: Get outside immediately. No sunglasses. Maximize sun exposure.
- Landing PM: Wear Blue Light Blocking glasses immediately. Take Melatonin. Force the darkness.
3. Compression Blood pools in the legs during flights. This creates "Cankles" and heavy legs.
- Wear medical-grade compression socks. Not "tight socks." Real compression.
