What is ADD and how is it perceived?
Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
Hey friends, you're listening to Fitness Friday on the Habits & Hustle podcast where myself and my friends share quick and very actionable advice for you becoming your healthiest self. So stay tuned and let me know how you leveled up. Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body.
It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle, red light therapy is my go-to.
Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therasage Trilight everywhere and all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

And hello Liron. Liron is a soccer player slash fitness trainer who is someone I always work out. Well, I used to work out with you. Did I ever really? Yeah, we worked out.
We talk about fitness a lot. We talk mostly about fitness and mostly about just other stuff in general. That's probably only 5% of our conversations are about fitness.
Oh my God, you know what? That's actually true. I don't even think we actually do talk about fitness.
Very little. We just gloss over it and carry on. Which is funny because I like... When we do, we record it, you know?
When we do, I was going to say, usually like we actually only talk about it during these like Fitness Friday episodes. We don't really talk about it like outside of the Fitness Friday episodes.
