This Program Contains Adult Language
Freud discovered that in every culture there are words which are considered
taboo: words that are rarely spoken aloud, but, when they are, produce a dynamic
transformation in the emotional responsiveness of the listener. He was one of
the first clinical practitioners to use intense language and taboo words with a
therapeutic aim. In this tradition, Tony Robbins will, at times, deliberately use
shocking language in order to establish an atmosphere of honesty and emotional
authenticity. While not given a place in polite society, these words can be used to
trigger deeper emotions.
This language is used strategically, according to the specific situation, to spark the
participant to achieve a higher level of accountability.

DAY 1 – BREAKTHROUGH: FEAR INTO POWER
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
Unleash the Power Within® is your invitation to recognize, uncover, and put to use the most powerful resources
you already possess: the courage, faith, determination, passion, and drive to grow, contribute, and celebrate life
at the deepest, most powerful level.
What this program is really about, however, is not changing yourself, but rather about becoming yourself. The
more you know about who you are, what you love, what you hate, what excites you, and what drives you, the
easier it will be for you to achieve what you want and to be fulfilled.
Ultimately, we all know that what we acquire will never make us happy. Who we become determines our
happiness; it is the only lasting aspect of life. Deep inside of us, we all have a hunger for something more.
No matter how great our lives already are – or how many challenges we face – there’s always another level.
Before we begin, take a moment to reflect upon why you are enrolled in this program. Why did you make
the decision to attend this event? What are you committed to getting out of this experience, not only for
yourself but for those you care about? Why are you really here?
“There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that,
once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.
My life’s quest has been to awaken this force and help each of us to
remember and use the unlimited power that resides within us all.”
– Tony Robbins

THE SUCCESS CYCLE
People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more
they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that
can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
People’s potential is almost unlimited. But do most people’s results reflect the level of potential they have?
Everyone is on a Cycle of Momentum. Which direction are you going?

DAY 1 – BREAKTHROUGH: FEAR INTO POWER
CREATE AN EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY OF LIFE
We’ve all known or witnessed someone who seems to have mastered an ability to grab life by the horns and
realize the completion of their most cherished desires. You may even feel that pure joy at least occasionally if
not consistently. However, experiencing the things you want to happen is one thing; being conscious of how
you’re doing it is another. So the question is: What creates an extraordinary quality of life? What are the forces
that shape the direction of our lives and determine our destiny? Most importantly, how can we harness these
forces to create a life of happiness, joy, success, fulfillment, and meaning?
Definition
An Extraordinary Life
A life of meaning, a magnificent life, a life of joy, happiness, love,
passion, success, fulfillment… whatever it means to you. Life
experienced on your terms.
Exercise

DAY 1 – BREAKTHROUGH: FEAR INTO POWER
THE 3 ELEMENTS OF PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY
We are all practical psychologists. We all have the ability to decipher what’s really going on in a situation – both
with ourselves and with those we care about. The 3 Elements of Practical Psychology represent a series of
refinements that will help you to understand the nature of human beings and in turn be able to predict
how and why we do what we do. The more you can understand about what’s naturally going on with people,
the more compassion, connection, and positive influence you can have as a parent, a leader, a professional, a
loving partner, or a friend.
In order to become effective practical psychologists, there are three questions we must answer
Question #1: What stops us from moving forward?
Fear can destroy our psychology and immobilize us from taking action. All of us experience fear in some context
during our lives: fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of success (i.e., how can I handle the pressure and continue
to deliver at a high level), fear of love (or losing love), fear of being alone, or fear of the unknown. In fact, most of
us feel a combination of the these fears over the course of our lives.
Fear is hard-wired into every human being – nothing we do this weekend or in our lifetimes will take fear
away. The secret is learning how to use fear instead of letting fear use you!
While we all experience countless variations, there are two primary fears that all human beings share:
1. We’re not .
2. We won’t be .
Answers: Fear, enough, loved
16 © 2021 Robbins Research International, Inc. All rights reserved. | www.tonyrobbins.com
TONY ROBBINS UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN
©
Question #2: What controls and determines the quality of our lives?
Anything in life you think you want, you only want because of the feeling you believe obtaining it will give you. The
truth is, you could have that feeling right now – simply by changing any one or a combination of the following:
The Triad: 3 Patterns That Create Any Emotion
1. Your (What You Do With Your Body)
Emotion is created by motion. Whatever you’re feeling right now is
related to how you’re using your body. (Hint: This includes your face!)
2. Your & Beliefs
Whatever you focus on you’re going to believe. Focus equals reality to
the individual, even though it’s not reality in actuality.
3. The You Use & You Create
Questions: Thinking is nothing more than mentally asking and
answering a series of questions. Eliminate any habitual questions
that do not serve you.
Words: If you want to change your life, pay attention to the words you repeat to yourself. Certain
words can change the way you feel: for example, “I think you’re mistaken;” “I think you’re wrong;”
“I think you’re lying.
Incantations: When you repeat a phrase with enough emotional intensity, you start to believe it. Utilize the
power of incantations by using the ones that support you the most.

3 Language / Meaning
Answers: Emotions, Physiology, Focus, Language / Meaning
© 2021 Robbins Research International, Inc. All rights reserved. | www.tonyrobbins.com 17
DAY 1 – BREAKTHROUGH: FEAR INTO POWER
Question #3: Why do we do what we do?
How is it that one person will sacrifice his own life for another, while another person will murder a stranger for
sheer pleasure? What creates a Charles Manson or a Nelson Mandela? A Jeffrey Dahmer or a John F. Kennedy?
A terrorist or a Dr. Martin Luther King?
No matter who you are in the world, or what you do, there’s a common force that’s driving and shaping all your
emotions and actions. It determines the quality of our lives, and ultimately, our destinies. These primal needs
have been encoded into our nervous systems over centuries. Although each of us is a unique and special soul,
we’re all wired in very much the same way.
There are 6 Human Needs – fundamental drives within each one of us – that compel us forward in a quest
to experience a life of meaning. There is no conscious effort necessary, our will to satisfy these primal needs
is automatic.
The 4 Primal Needs
1.
Everybody wants stability about their basic necessities –
food, shelter, and other material resources. When people
cannot control their physical circumstances, they may
seek certainty through a state of mind (such as religious
faith or a positive outlook).
3.
Everybody needs to feel special and important in
some way. People will seek significance through
obtaining recognition from others or from themselves.
When people feel insignificant, they may make
themselves feel significant by getting angry. Others
might try to feel significant due to the size or
complexity of their problems.
2.
People have a need to change their state, to exercise
their body and emotions. Therefore they seek variety
through a number of means – stimuli, change of scene,
physical activity, mood swings, entertainment, food, etc.
4.
Humans need to feel connected with someone or
something – a person, an ideal, a value, a habit, or
a sense of identity. Connection may take the form of
love, or it may be created by a sense of belonging,
or a spiritual sense. Like any of the 6 Human Needs,
people can fulfill their need for connection and love in
positive or negative ways.
The 2 Spiritual Needs
5.
Everything is either growing or dying. It doesn’t
matter how much money you have, how many people
acknowledge you or what you have achieved. Unless
you feel like you’re growing, you will be unhappy
and unfulfilled.
6.
We all have a deep need to go beyond ourselves
and to live a life that serves the greater good. In the
moments that we do this, we experience true joy and
fulfillment. Contribution is the ultimate secret to the joy
that so many people wish to have in their lives.
Answers: 6 Human Needs, Certainty, Uncertainty / Variety, Significance, Connection / Love, Growth, Contribution

SUMMARY: THE 6 HUMAN NEEDS
All human beings are consistently seeking to meet their 6 Human Needs, but we all tend to value two more
than the rest. For example, someone who values certainty most will live a radically different life than someone
values uncertainty / variety. Similarly, someone who focuses on significance most will interact with others very
differently than someone whose number one need is for connection or love. Once you understand what’s truly
driving you, you’ll unlock the answers to create lasting change in any area of your life.
You must meet your spiritual needs to
experience sustainable joy instead of
just momentary pleasure.

Contribution
All behavior – positive, negative, or neutral – is simply an attempt to meet these six needs.
There is always a way to fulfill a need; the skill lies in finding a sustainable way to fulfill it, and in a way that
gives you more pleasure than pain.

DAY 1 – BREAKTHROUGH: FEAR INTO POWER
EXERCISE: DISCOVERING YOUR
6 HUMAN NEEDS
For each of the four needs below, capture all of the positive and negative ways you try to meet these needs. For
example, you might work out or lift some weights as it gives you total Certainty in your body (i.e., a positive way
to meet your need for Certainty). On the other hand, some people overeat as a way to calm themselves down
and feel Certain (i.e., a negative way to meet your need for Certainty).
1. What are the ways you get Certainty? Uncertainty / Variety?
CERTAINTY UNCERTAINTY / VARIETY
Positive Negative Positive Negative
2. What are the ways you get Significance? Connection / Love?

DAY 2 – MOMENTUM: CLOSING THE GAP
5 KEYS TO ASKING INTELLIGENTLY
1. Ask Specifically.
Define precisely what you need, why and when you need it. You need to be able to show what you’ll be
able to produce with it. Don’t just ask for more money. Here’s a dollar, now go away. Ask for how much, by
when, for what.
2. Ask Someone Who Can Help You.
Ask someone with the resources to help. Whatever you want is something someone else already has. The
trick is to find those people and figure out what they do right.
3. Create Value for the Person You’re Asking.
Figure out how you can help the person you are asking first. If you are adding value to them, they will listen
to you.
4. Ask With Focused Congruent Belief.
If you aren’t convinced about what you’re asking for, how can anyone else be? Express absolute conviction
in your words and physiology.
5. Ask Until You Get What You Want.
Change and adjust until you achieve what you want. When you study successful people, you’ll see that they
kept asking, kept trying, kept changing – because they knew that sooner or later they would find someone
who could satisfy their needs.

DAY 2 – MOMENTUM: CLOSING THE GAP
THE PYRAMID OF MASTERY
7 Areas of Constant Growth for an Extraordinary Life
As achievers we know that whatever we focus on, we will find a way to achieve. The challenge so many of
us face, though, is in building momentum and finding balance.
Even the greatest achievers acknowledge a gap between where they are and where they really want to
be. Perhaps our businesses or careers are strong, but our intimate relationships are lacking. Or maybe our
relationships are flourishing, but our personal finances, physical vitality, or even our connection with our
children is suffering.
An extraordinary life – life on your terms – comes from an unrelenting
commitment to focus on and consistently improve all of the areas
of life that are important to you.

THE WHEEL OF LIFE
To close the gap from where you are to where you want to be, it starts by getting clear exactly where you
are. A map can only guide you to where you want to go if you know your precise starting point.
Look at The Wheel of Life below. The middle of the circle corresponds to ‘0%’ and the outside ring of the circle
corresponds to ‘100%’. Now, taking one area at a time, grade yourself on a scale of ‘0 to 100’ of where you are
today vs. where you really want to be. For example, you might rate yourself at a ‘70%’ in your family life, an
‘80%’ in your finances, a ‘50%’ in your emotional life, a ‘90%’ in your career, a ‘40%’ in your ability to manage
time, a ‘60%’ in your spirituality, and a ‘70%’ in your physical health.
When you’re done, draw a line across the section that represents the number you currently rate yourself at
in each area. Then color in the space between each spoke of the wheel.

Now take a look at your wheel. If this wheel were a tire on your car called life, how would your car run?
How would you do at 10mph? How would you do as an achiever going 100mph?
If you are like most people, your car is a little out of balance, and it’s going to be one heck of a bumpy ride!
The same is true of your life. When certain areas of your life are out of balance, you tend to experience more
bumps in the road. You can still achieve your desired destination, but it’s going to take you longer and the ride
isn’t going to be as smooth or fun!

DAY 3 – TRANSFORMATION: ELIMINATE INNER CONFLICTS
THE 3 PILLARS OF PROGRESS
Sustainable success in any area of your life comes from three things:
Step I: Get Focused & Clear!
Without a clear and compelling vision for what you want today, you won’t be able to find the target of lasting
happiness, let alone hit it. If you have the courage to face the truth of where you are, you will discover the path
to where you want to be. Anything in life that you’re focused on, and you’re clear about what you want, you can
make happen.
Step II: Get the Best Tools for Results!
Once you’ve clearly defined your vision, you need an effective and efficient game plan to hit it. In order to close
the “gap” between where you are and where you want to be, you need proven tools that can get you the results
in the shortest period of time.
Step III: Get Aligned, Get Integrated & Get Results!
Why is it that sometimes we know what to do, we have great motives for change, and yet we fail to follow through?
It’s not a skills problem; it’s an inner conflict that’s holding you back. Part of you wants it (“This would be great!”)
and part of you doesn’t (“What if it doesn’t work and I fail?”). Usually what’s locking you down in these situations is
a conflict in your beliefs or values. When you uncover these conflicts, you can create the internal alignment so that
you effortlessly take action and follow through.

DAY 3 – TRANSFORMATION: ELIMINATE INNER CONFLICTS
Exercise for Motivation Strategies
Step 1: Put the cook in the kitchen.
Remember and fully associate to a time when you felt totally motivated.
“When is a specific time that I felt totally inspired and motivated to achieve a goal?”
Make sure you stay fully associated during this exercise.
Step 2: Elicit the specific and precise triggers (modalities) that are necessary for you to feel
totally motivated.
Motivation is a feeling; you want to determine what caused the feeling.
As I go back to that time and experience now...
“What was the very first thing that caused me to feel motivated?”
“Was it something I saw? Something I said or heard? Or, something I touched or did with
my body?”
Continue to ask yourself, “What was the very next thing that caused me to be really motivated?”
Keep yourself in state as you ask and answer this question.
Step 3: Elicit the specific submodalities, in order, that trigger the strategy to work.
Refer to the submodalities checklist on the next page for help.
For example, if the first trigger was something I saw, ask myself, “What was it about what I saw that
caused me to feel motivated? Was it a bright image? Big? Close?”
Step 4: Use this strategy anytime you want to feel inspired and really motivated.
Identify something that you are currently unmotivated to do, but that you really want to do.
Then, use the Motivation Strategy you identified in this exercise, to put yourself back in the same
state when you are extremely motivated.

THE 3 PRINCIPLES OF MASTERY
The path to mastering anything, whether it’s your job, your relationship, your family, or your finances, comes
from using three tools. Following these three simple steps will help you to create phenomenal results in any
area of your life.

Success leaves clues. Nothing on earth is more valuable to an individual’s success than the life
experience of someone who is a true master: someone who is already producing the results you seek.
2.
Create massive momentum in your life and immediately break through any obstacles that may be holding
you back in an environment of absolute focus.
3.
Sustain your momentum, hold yourself accountable and continue to make measurable progress in all the
areas of life that matter to you most.

DAY 4 – VITALITY: THE POWER OF YOUR NEW IDENTITY
CREATING A VITAL LIFE
The Power of Pure Energy
What is the force for transforming the quality of our lives? What propels us
forward to great achievement, and more importantly, fulfillment? What drives
us to train our bodies, improve our relationships, and boost our finances?
After spending three days of immersion in Unleash the Power Within®, you’ve experienced incredible transformation,
clarity, and have learned a myriad of strategies to take your life to the next level. The key now is making sure that
you are able to maintain and build upon the momentum you have begun to create when you go home. The most
important factor in ensuring that you continue to take action and make progress is one simple power: ENERGY.
There are many programs, products, books, and ideas in the world today about how to prevent disease, lose
weight, increase your strength, or improve your appearance. The global health and wellness industry is now
$4.2 trillion. Yet, in the United States alone, two-thirds of the people are overweight, 10% of the population
suffers from diabetes, and half of the population are on some type of prescription drug for health problems.
The situation is similar in most other industrialized nations of the world.
The solutions to theses challenges, however, do not lie with technology, science, pharmacology, or even the
many “quick fix” solutions available. When you understand and follow the core principles that create health
and energy, everything else falls into place: you look better, feel better, have more energy, and you begin to
optimize all of the areas of your life that are most important to you.
As you begin this day on how to create vital life and energy, let’s make a commitment to hold ourselves to the
highest standard possible – to play full out, to take advantage of the resources that are available to us, to
put aside any past beliefs or convictions that may be limiting us, and most importantly, to take care of our
minds, bodies, and spirits at the deepest level. Congratulations on making the commitment to take action and
create the extraordinary health you deserve!
3 Primary Outcomes for Vital Energy Day
1. Learn the philosophy, tools, and strategies that create maximum health,
vitality, and energy. Rather than focus on what will merely improve your health,
our outcome is to give you the tools to absolutely optimize the quality of your
health, energy, and life.
2. Provide you with expanded options and choices for creating health. Many of
the concepts presented today may be new or even contrary to conventional
wisdom that you may have been taught in the past. Our goal is to provide
you with a second opinion – an opportunity for you to think about, try on, and
experience a new approach for creating the results you desire.
3. Empower you to take charge of your health and to take responsibility for the
choices you make. There is so much information available to us in the area
of health, it requires us to be vigilant and conscious about what we choose to
believe, live by, and do in this important area of our lives.

DAY 4 – VITALITY: THE POWER OF YOUR NEW IDENTITY
THE 3 MASTER PRINCIPLES OF
SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS
The Necessities of Life
What creates extraordinary health? How do we create a level of vitality, energy,
passion, and strength that is unsurpassed and never-ending? What is the secret
to creating lasting change, not only in the area of health, but in any area of life?
No matter how extreme, miraculous, challenging, or complex a goal is in any area of life, most of them are
obtainable with the right strategy and effort. A person can climb Mount Everest, lift 400 lbs, stay awake for 72
hours straight, or lose 30 lbs in 30 days and experience great victory. The true measure of success, however, is
not in the initial attainment of a goal; rather, it lies with the ability for the change to be sustainable across time,
context, and circumstance. To create sustainable success and fulfillment, it requires a psychology and mindset
that is based on an ongoing commitment to three principles:
I. CREATE THE BASE
For anything to grow,
you must create a strong
foundation first.
II. CHALLENGE & GROW
With a strong base in place,
you have the resources to
deal with challenges and
utilize them to grow.
III. CELEBRATE & REWARD
Set yourself up to win.
All momentum is created
by celebrating victories
along the way.

THE 12 CORE QUESTIONS OF A VITAL LIFE
The Philosophy of Health
The most important decision you can make is your philosophy toward health. Few of us, however, have taken
the time to examine where our current philosophy and beliefs really comes from, much less if it even makes
sense based on current information and practical results. Thus, before we delve into the principles that create
optimal health and vitality, let’s first examine our current beliefs and their origins.
When is the last time you spent the time to think through your
philosophy toward health? How did you develop your beliefs about
what causes disease much less what creates optimal vitality?
What is the basis of your strategy for creating health?
Question 1
1. What primary beliefs has our society conditioned most of us to believe about what it takes to avoid
disease and experience health?

Question 2
1. What are two of the most limiting beliefs you’ve had about your health in the past?
2. What are two of the most empowering beliefs you have about your health that have helped you?
Example
We must eat three square meals a day balanced from each of the four food groups.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Starve a cold; feed a fever.

WHAT IS HEALTH?
Definitions According To:
World Health Organization
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, or social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Nutrition and Diet Therapy
Optimal human fulfillment and productivity – quality of life.
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine
Health is the result of… individual responsibility – choosing healthy over non-healthy.
Question 3
If we want to study health to become healthy, let’s start by asking ourselves what is health in the first
place? How would you define it?
Question 4
Where does energy come from?
Energy is not only the basis of existence, it is the fuel that
makes everything in our lives real and possible.

are three things cells need to not only survive, but thrive:

THE IMPACT OF DECREASED OXYGEN ON CELLS
How Long Will a Cell Live?
Question 6
How do we know that a cell needs oxygen, water, nutrients, and the ability to eliminate its waste?
3 Classic Experiments Demonstrate What Cells Need
1. Cell respiration – Dr. Otto Warburg
Winner of the 1931 Nobel Prize for his studies in cell respiration, Dr. Warburg
believed that there is a direct correlation between a person’s health and the
level of oxygen in his or her bloodstream. To test his theory, he put rat cells in
bell jars with both normal and 60% below normal oxygen levels. In the jars with
lower oxygen levels, some cells weakened or died, while others mutated.
2. Lack of oxygen destroys cells – Dr. Harry Goldblatt
His studies at the Rockefeller Institute supported the hypothesis that a lack of
oxygen destroys cells. He duplicated Dr. Warburg’s experiment, then reinserted
the cells back into the rats. The rats who got oxygenated cells survived; those
who received under-oxygenated cells developed cancer.
3. Cells can live forever – Dr. Alexis Carrel
A two-time Nobel Prize winner for his work at the Rockefeller Institute, Dr. Carrel
achieved startling results with chicken cells that he kept alive indefinitely in petri
dishes, proving his theory that “cells will live forever” if they’re given their basic
needs and are not poisoned by their own environment.

1. The most common killer is a lack of .
2. Any disturbance to the of cells can kill them.
3. Any physical in cells can also kill them.
The 6 Basic Causes of Cellular Atrophy
Cells shrinking is due to a loss of cell substance. Atrophy is an adaptive response. According to Dr. Stanley
Robbins* of Harvard Medical School. There are six causes of atrophy:
1. Decreased
2.
3. Diminished
4. Inadequate
5. Loss of stimulation*
6.
The Endocrine System*
*The hormones produced by this system affect growth, development, rate of
metabolism, functioning of the reproductive organs, sexual characteristics,
personality development, higher nervous functions, the ability of the body to meet
conditions of stress, and resistance to disease.
The glands included in the endocrine system are the pituitary, pineal, thyroid,
parathyroid, adrenal, gonadal, and hypothalamus.
Endocrine hormones are released into the blood or the lymph and circulated
throughout the body. Endocrine disorders include: acromegaly, abnormal sex
development, absorption of bone, diabetes, dwarfism, gigantism, goiter, tumors.

TWO VITAL SYSTEMS
Question 8
What is the primary medium that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body?
is the river of life. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues
and eliminates waste.
Question 9
What is the primary medium for eliminating wastes?
The system works closely with the circulatory system as it cleans and returns tissue
fluid to the blood and destroys toxins that enter the body.
Your body has more times lymph than blood.
The Power of Lymph
The lymphatic system is one of the most important circulatory systems in the
body. It is critical to managing the elimination of toxins from the body and is the
body’s primary immune defense and waste eliminator system. It contains over 600
lymph nodes and has a network of collecting vessels that is more extensive than
the venous system. The lymph system is responsible for carrying disease fighting
materials to cells, transporting dead germs away, and supplying protein-rich plasma
fluid back to the heart. When this system is blocked, we become defenseless
against attacks by virus, fungus, and bacteria – specifically, infection fighting

THE TRUE SOURCE OF DISEASE
Question 10
What is the true source of disease?
Q: If our bodies are so strong, then what causes us to become ill?
A: The accumulation of in your bloodstream is the
primary cause of illness.
Question 11
But aren’t our bodies designed to eliminate toxins from the bloodstream?
Yes! This is why Dr. Isaac Jennings has said that the cause of an individual disease may be isolated to a
given circumstance (i.e., bacteria) but the source of the problem begins in those activities that drain our
body of life force.
Thus, disease is the body’s attempt to cure itself. Disease is the cure.

THE BODY’S RESPONSE TO TOXINS
One of the first responses the body makes to lowered nerve
energy and decreased functional efficiency is the elimination
of toxins from the system.
There are four avenues for eliminating toxins:
1. Skin
2. Lungs / respiratory tract
3. Bowels
4. Urinary Tract
There Are 3 Causes for These Toxins to
Build Up in the Bloodstream
1. Taking in more than you can . This can occur as
a result of being in a state of diminished nerve energy from making constant
demands on the body without allowing it to fully recover.
2. and/or waste and animal
products – substances your body cannot use.
3.
An overly acidic that allow the micro-organisms
(yeasts, molds, funguses, etc.) within your bloodstream to proliferate – all of which
produce their own waste (Mycotoxins) adding to the toxicity of your system.

5 SOURCES OF DISEASE
The true source of disease is the poisoning of the system, which comes from many different places. Disease
occurs when more tearing down than building up is occurring in your system. This happens when the body
is put into a weakened state – when there is a deficiency of force. This is a result of internal poisoning which
occurs from several different sources:
5 forces that are destructive to cells, and thus
destructive to your health and your life:
1.
There are three ways to autointoxicate:
1) Consciously take in poisons that destroy your body.
2) Maintain a diet that slowly builds up more poison in your system than you
are able to eliminate.
3) Create a bloodstream that is overly acidic.

THE GERM THEORY
ARE GERMS THE TRUE SOURCE OF DISEASE?
Question 12
What does the medical profession teach today?
Here is an excerpt from Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, a textbook used at Harvard Medical School:
Knowledge or discovery of the primary cause of germs remains the
backbone on which a diagnosis can be made, a disease understood,
or a treatment developed. The concept, however, of one etiologic
agent to one disease – developed from the study of infections or
single-gene disorders – is no longer sufficient. Genetic factors are
clearly involved in some of the common environmentally induced
maladies, such as atherosclerosis and cancer, and the environment
may also have profound influences on certain genetic diseases.

GIFT #1: THE POWER OF VITAL
&
Undoubtedly, the most important component to human health and vitality is oxygen. In fact, human life
would not be possible without it: oxygen produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and without ATP our bodies
would immediately shut down. When a person breathes, there is an exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
The oxygen, which is taken in by the body from the atmosphere around us, is picked up by the hemoglobin in
the blood and distributed to all of the body’s trillions of cells where it is then used to fuel the cells and release
energy (ATP).
In addition, the makeup of the human body is largely composed of the element oxygen, especially factoring in
that water is composed of 33% oxygen.
It’s clear, then, that optimal oxygenation of your cells through proper nutrition, fluid intake, exercise, and stress
management is absolutely necessary in order to maintain your health and create a vital life.
“Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health. If I had to
limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be
simply to learn how to breathe correctly. There is no single
more powerful – or more simple – daily practice to further
your health and well being than breathwork.”
– Andrew Weil, M.D.

DAY 4 – VITALITY: THE POWER OF YOUR NEW IDENTITY
THE POWER OF VITAL BREATHING &
LYMPHASIZING
Q: What is the first step you can take immediately to condition your body for
maximum nutrition?
A: Learn right now to breathe properly.
The richest blood flow is in the lower lungs. When this area fails to be adequately ventilated with air, we end
up under-oxygenated. Proper breathing requires the use of the diaphragm, the layer of muscle that separates
the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. When you breathe properly, the diaphragm contracts and the
abdomen protrudes, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air. To get the maximum benefit from the roughly
2,500 gallons of air you take in daily, learn to breathe from the bottom all the way up!
Power Breathing
Take 10 power breaths 3 times a day in the following ratio:
1 : 4 : 2
Inhale : hold : exhale
Example: inhale for 8 seconds, hold your breath
for 32 seconds, exhale for 16 seconds

LYMPHASIZING: THE BENEFITS OF REBOUNDING
1. The vertical use of acceleration, deceleration, and gravity (jumping up and down) provide the ideal
conditions for cleansing cells.
2. Rebounding is a true cellular exercise. It builds physical cellular strength by challenging the structure of
each cell. This strengthening of the cells helps to protect against degenerative disease.
3. It leads to improved posture, increased vascularity, better muscle tone, enhanced timing, sharper vision,
greater coordination, better balance, more rhythm, and elevated energy levels.
4. By working against the constant gravitational pressure while bouncing, you resist the earth’s pull. Gravity
becomes a force for the good of your entire body.
5. Rebounding will let you improve the working of your heart muscle by improving the tone and quality of
the muscle itself and by increasing the coordination of the fibers as they wring blood out of the heart
during each beat.
6. It provides the stimulus for a free-flowing lymphatic drainage system, which helps rid your body of toxins,
cancer cells, wastes, trapped protein, bacteria, viruses, and other waste the cells cast off.
7. When you are rebounding, you are flooding the cells with oxygen. This enables them to convert glucose
into ATP and also into glycogen. Thus, rebounding can actually increase your ability to convert glucose
into glycogen. Further, it may be possible to train your body (through consistent lymphasizing) to store
this glycogen and have it released when you need it for a sudden burst of energy.
Something to Think About…
The G-force (gravity) at the top of the bounce is eliminated and the body becomes
weightless for a fraction of a second. At the bottom of the bounce, the G-force
suddenly doubles over what is ordinary gravity on earth, and internal organs are
put under pressure. Their cellular stimulation is increased accordingly so that waste
materials within cells get squeezed out. The lymphatics carry the waste away to be
disposed of through the urinary tract and other excretory mechanisms.

Water is an essential and major component of all living matter. It is the largest single component of the body:
Our brains are 76% water, our lungs are 90% water, our blood is 84% water, and blood plasma is 98% water.
Critical processes such as digestion, circulation, and excretion cannot occur without it. It carries nutrients to all
vital body substances, plays a crucial role in maintaining body temperature, and serves as building material for
growth and repair of the body.
Q: What is the most important element to health?
A: Oxygen. Without it, we would die within minutes.
Q: How long can your body survive without air? How long can your body survive
without food? How long can your body survive without water intake?
A: The second most important element in our health is water. An adult can live
several weeks without food, but no more than about 10 days without water. Your
body can only lose about 10% of its water and still survive.

diet is made up of water-rich foods?
Every time you reach for food, ask yourself,
“Will this cleanse me… or clog me?”
Summary
At least 70% of your diet should consist of live, water-rich foods.. This allows your
body to cleanse itself. Failing to consume this percentage of water means you are
clogging your body, not cleansing it.
A typical diet – in America, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. – consisting of only 15%
water-rich foods, is suicide!

This step is about the power of fat. We live in a society where we are constantly bombarded with messages
from the media and with products attempting to eliminate all fat from our diets. There are no-fat cookies, cakes,
breads, crackers, pastas, salad dressings, chips, cereal bars, and the list goes on and on. What few people
realize, however, is that completely eliminating fat from your diet is the worst thing you can do! The truth is
that fats are very important to our diets and overall health; the secret is to know which fats are healthy and
which fats will kill. Essential fatty acids are healthy or healing fats – every cell in your body requires them to
function, particularly your brain, which is made up of 60% fat.
These good fats consist of the essential fatty acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6. Your body must consume these
fats to survive. Without them the lipid membrane around your cells starts to break down.
12 Reasons Why Essential Fats and Oils Are Vital to Healthy Living
1. Essential fatty acids are necessary for many vital functions in cells, tissues, and organs. They increase
oxidation and metabolic rate. Energy levels rise with higher stamina and decreased recovery time.
2. Skin Care: Besides creating smooth, velvety skin, it helps improve acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
3. Digestion: Essential fatty acids help to prevent leaky intestines that can lead to allergies, inflammation,
and auto-immune problems.
4. In the cardiovascular system fatty acids are required to transport cholesterol, lower triglycerides, make
platelets less sticky, and lower blood pressure.
5. Fatty acids elevate mood, lift depression, and improve our stability to deal with stress. High stress
levels promote high blood pressure, water retention, inflammation, and blood clot formation.
6. Fatty acids stabilize the heartbeat, preventing heartbeat abnormalities (arrhythmia) that can lead to
cardiac arrest.
7. Overweight people and animals benefit from fatty acids because their kidneys expel excess water.
8. In the immune system, essential fatty acids protect DNA from damage. Although it is not a cure for
cancer, essential fatty acids benefit people and animals with cancer. Fats provide nutritional support for
cardiovascular and immune systems.
9. Sufferers of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis report decreased inflammation.
10. Essential fatty acids are involved in transporting minerals through the body.
11. The brain does not function without essential fatty acids.
12. Research indicates that an unborn child draws from its mother’s body substantial amounts of the
essential fats required to build its brain.

KILLER FATS ESSENTIAL LIFESUSTAINING FATS
Processed fats are fats that are destroyed through
cooking (at temperatures above 118º F) such that they
are unusable and toxic to the body. The dangers of
bad fats (or processed fats) include poor circulation,
high blood pressure, poor elimination, excess
congestion, and toxicity in the body.
Margarine
Processed butter
Processed cheese
Vegetable oils
Shortening
Deep fried foods
Unprocessed fats are any fats that occur in their
natural state. They support lubrication of the entire
system and the health of all the cells in your body.
High quality Omega 3 supplement
Nuts and seeds such as flaxseed, chia seeds,
and walnuts
Flaxseed oil
Olive oil
Avocado
Fish oils*
Nuts such as: Almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin
seeds, sunflower seeds
*Can become rancid if not refrigerated
Remember, while you need to be sure to ingest enough essential life-sustaining fats, you also want to avoid
the ‘killer fats’ that are devoid of life, or even too many ‘fat-free’ products that are devoid of life. These
foods tend to be void of nutrition and also higher in salt, sugar, chemicals, and starches. If you are trying to lose
weight, the goal is eat less “bad” fat, and also to eat less sugar and less total calories than you burn each day –
i.e., avoiding many ‘fat free’ products as well.

GIFT #4: THE POWER OF :
GO GREEN!
This program is about energy: the vital force within each of us that allows us to maximize our capacity as
human beings. At the same time, when we get out of balance, and our energy is depleted, we experience all
kinds of problems such as stress, fatigue, depression, and disease. Balanced body chemistry and maintaining
a proper ratio between acid and alkaline foods in your diet are of vital importance to maintaining your
health. In fact, too much acidity in the body’s tissues is the cause of many types of health changes ranging
from lethargy and fatigue, to obesity, and ultimately to much bigger health challenges and disease.
One of the highest priorities of your body is to make sure that the alkalinity throughout your body remains
at a level supporting cellular life. At a fundamental level, the regulatory mechanisms such as breathing,
circulation, digestion, and hormonal production balance the pH level in the body by removing acid residues
from body tissues. If the pH deviates too far to the acidic or the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their
own toxic waste and die.
The pH Scale:
This is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a substance is. The initials pH stand for
“Potential of Hydrogen.” Acids have pH values under 7, and alkalis have pH values
over 7. If a substance has a pH value of 7, it is neutral – neither acidic or alkaline.
Different tissues of the body need to maintain different levels of pH to sustain life. The blood and most
tissues should be slightly alkaline, whereas urine, saliva, and the digestive tract should be slightly acidic. In fact,
the blood can only support very minor fluctuations in its pH level and still sustain life. Most important, however,
is the body’s alkaline reserve: an excess of alkali (comprised of elements such as sodium bicarbonate) that is
stored until it’s needed to neutralize excess acid in the body. If the body becomes too acidic, or depletes its
alkaline reserves, then the cells begin to weaken and break down, and body functions become compromised.
Answer: Alkalinity

©
WHAT’S THE SOLUTION? GO GREEN
What Causes Ph to Become Imbalanced?
The foods we eat have a huge impact on the pH levels of the body. When food is
metabolized and broken down it leaves chemical and metallic residues that, when
combined with our body fluids, can result in a fluctuation of our pH levels. Thus,
some foods are considered acid-forming, and others alkaline-forming, depending
on the impact they have on the body.
To maintain a healthy body and maximize your energy and vitality, the best thing you can do for your body after
proper oxygenation and hydration is provide it with the vital, healthy nutrients it needs: green foods with
greater energy and life force.
1. Ideal Foods That Are Alkaline-forming and Life-giving:
Almonds, carrots, dates, avocados, lemons, limes, coconuts, celery, cucumbers,
cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, green / red / yellow
peppers, onions, garlic, radishes, green leafy vegetables, wheat grass, cabbage,
walnuts, soy beans, tofu, lima beans, spinach, turnip tops, beet tops, melons, mangos,
papaya, figs, cantaloupe, watermelon, parsley, alfalfa sprouts, navy beans, soy beans,
and nuts, etc.
2. Foods to Avoid: Acid-forming and Devoid of Life:
Pork, veal, freshwater fish, unclean sources of beef, chicken or turkey, eggs, shrimp, lobster, oysters, hot
dogs, whole wheat and rye-breads, white rice, white flour, corn bread, refined sugar, cheese, milk, sour
cream, yogurt, butter, margarine, mushrooms, peanuts, coffee, tea, wine, beer.
3. Supplement Your Diet With Quality Greens Such as Tony Robbins BioEnergy Greens®
Organic Superfood Powder.

DAY 4 – VITALITY: THE POWER OF YOUR NEW IDENTITY
GIFT #6: THE POWER OF
Though we are conscious of what goes into our mouths, we sometimes don’t consider the meaning or purpose
behind that action. To understand maximum nourishment, we must first digest why we hope to achieve it – why
must we strive for optimal nutrition? What will happen if we don’t consume the right foods, take in the proper
nutrients? To understand what’s at the base of nutrition, we must first answer a few fundamental questions.
Why Do We Eat?
1. To Energize
Foods can be a valuable asset in how we process our emotions and harness the power of energy for our
physical state. Consuming healthy nutrients can boost how you feel on the inside, manifesting a bright,
positive mood on the outside. In addition, good foods can help your body perform at its best, providing the
energy you need for work, taking care of your family, going to the gym, etc. On the other hand choosing the
wrong foods can sap your energy, leaving you sluggish mentally and physically.
2. To Grow & Develop
What we consume must help us regulate and maintain our bodily functions. We meticulously plan our
dietary needs for different stages of growth to ensure the proper development of the body.
3. To Purify & Cleanse
We want to begin each day with a new slate, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Our organs need to be
cleansed in order to work efficiently and without detriment. We must also take in cleansing foods to take
care of our exterior and maintain our body’s surface.
4. To Prevent & Fight Disease
In order to fight disease, we must supply a healthy terrain for the body. Food helps us create a powerful
base that keeps the internal environment strong. In addition, we use food to comfort and cure a range of
illnesses, from small aches and pains to life-threatening diseases.
5. To Nurture Our Outer Beauty
In addition to aiding the basic functions of the body, nutrients also contribute to our physical appearance.
An improper diet can cause us to look sallow and tired, whereas healthy foods can add shine to our hair, or
a rich glow to our complexion.
6. To Socialize & Enjoy
Eating allows us to nurture ourselves as human beings, bringing us together in varying social situations. Food
teaches us how to share, celebrate, and love; we use it for comfort, and to show compassion. However we
must also be aware of its negative connotations, and understand how to avoid these pitfalls so that eating can
be a pleasurable, and not painful, experience.

Have you ever had back pain? Or any chronic pain in the body? The human body was designed for motion.
One can argue that modern man has come a long way from the days of our ancestors who hunted and gathered
and roamed the earth. Yet, with today’s technological advances and modern conveniences also comes one huge
disadvantage: lack of movement. In fact, few of us actually use the full range of motion that the human body
was designed for.
This gift, the power of structural alignment and maximum strength, is designed to take charge of the motion-
powered musculoskeletal system: one of the primary foundations and framework for human health and the
systems that support it. When the body gets out of alignment and fails to challenge and build the muscles that
support this structure, it paves the way for challenges with balance, metabolism, visual acuity, fertility, and many
other fundamental biological processes.

STRENGTH THROUGH MOTION
The Egoscue Method® defines the laws of physical health utilizing custom-designed therapies to reintroduce
the laws that will return the body to its natural state of health – free from pain and limitations.
All of the steps in this ten-step process are personalized to the specific needs of each participant. There
are no manipulations or artificial stimulations. The dynamic program becomes a process of transformation
in harmony with the body’s changes as the laws are applied and reestablished.
This personalized program usually extends to eight weeks with a follow-up for reinforcement or the
development of a maintenance program.
The 3 Forces
1. The Force of Movement
In order to maintain optimal overall health and keep our vital physiological systems functional, we need to
have consistent movement in our daily routine. If we don’t, we suffer from motion starvation and our bodies
will begin to reflect the dysfunctions that are being created – pain, illness, and structural defects. Motion is
a renewable resource that must be replenished constantly and responsibly.
2. The Force of Psychology
How we view our bodies and the beliefs we have about the body’s complexity and capabilities will either
result in a fully functioning body moving with easy fluidity or one without structural support, little energy,
and far less physical ability and agility. Therefore, we need to take responsibility and create a lifestyle that
includes proper exercise. In turn, we’ll be able to do whatever we choose knowing that our bodies will be
able to support us.
3. The Force of Stimulus
The body requires constant input in order to maintain its systems and functionality, and to continue to replenish
itself from the cells up. Otherwise, the body becomes stagnant, we become lethargic, intellectually lazy, and
unable to respond to the demands of our daily lives with efficiency and elegance. A body that is stimulated is
alive, energetic, and continually growing.

3 Tips
1. Be constantly aware: Stand guard at the door of your mind.
Remember, focus = feeling.
Fear and faith are both forms of imagination: one undirected and the other directed.
Focus daily on what you want and cultivate emotions of power in your body.
2. Flood yourself daily with positive emotions and thoughts. Most people stack negative events,
meanings, and fears, which are destructive to their biochemistry and overall health and vitality.

focusing on what you are grateful for and what you want.

POISON #1: ELIMINATE OR DRAMATICALLY
REDUCE THE POISON OF
Just what is the skinny on those processed fats and why are they bad for you? Butter, margarine, cheese,
French fries, chips, cookies and other tasty snacks are loaded with them. The major kinds of fats in the
foods we eat are saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and trans fatty acids. On average, Americans
consume 35-40% of our total calories as fat. Saturated fats, trans fats and dietary cholesterol raise blood
cholesterol. The bad news is, high levels of cholesterol in the blood is a major risk factor for coronary heart
disease, which leads to heart attack, and also increases the risk of stroke.
1. What Are Processed or Trans Fatty Acids?
They are man-made or processed fats, which are made from a liquid oil. When you add hydrogen to liquid
vegetable oil and then add pressure, the result is a stiffer fat, like the fat found in a can of Crisco. Trans fats
are also called hydrogenated fats.
2. Why Should I Care About Trans Fatty Acids?
In clinical studies, trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fats tend to raise total blood cholesterol levels and
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol when used instead of cis (naturally occurring)
fatty acids or natural oils. These changes may increase the risk of heart disease. Additional dangers of
processed fats include poor circulation, poor elimination, excess congestion, and toxicity in the body.
3. Are All Fats Bad?
No, not all fats are bad! “Good fat” is a major source of energy for the body. These “good” unsaturated fats
include the essential omega 3 fatty acids that help lower risk of heart disease and cancers.
Fats in Their Natural, Unprocessed Form,
Serve 5 Major Functions
1. They build cell membranes.
2. They aid in the production of hormones.
3. They raise metabolism and create energy.
4. They protect the body by buffering and neutralizing acids.
5. They provide lubrication to the body so that the cells are free
to move.
Unprocessed fats are any fats that occur in their natural state. The best examples
are the fats contained in avocados, olive oil, almonds, and flaxseed oils.

REDUCE THE POISON OF
We know fats and oils are terrible for us, and that the daily cup of Joe and other addictions are only doing us
harm. But meat and dairy are staples of the American – and increasingly, global – diet and it may be hard to
imagine a life without strawberry milkshakes and cheeseburgers.
The truth is traditional thinking about nutrition is killing us – prompting growing rates in heart disease, cancer,
obesity and more. We must open our minds to new ways of eating, including incorporating a plant-based diet.
Consider These Facts
A 2019 Harvard Study, analyzed the effects of replacing red meat with a variety of other foods.
Researchers found that diets higher in quality plant protein sources, such as legumes, soy, and nuts,
resulted in lower levels of both total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol compared with diets higher in red meat.

“Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials of Red Meat Consumption in Comparison With Various Comparison
Diets on Cardiovascular Risk Factors.” Circulation, U.S. National Library of Medicine, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.
gov/30958719/.
A 2016 Johns Hopkins study that evaluated over 12,000 U.S. residents who completed food surveys for
25 years found that those with diets higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods were associated with
a lower risk of heart disease and death.
Kim, Hyunju, et al. “Plant-Based Diets Are Associated With a Lower Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease,
Cardiovascular Disease Mortality, and All-Cause Mortality in a General Population of Middle-Aged Adults.” Journal of
the American Heart Association, 7 Aug. 2019, www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.119.012865.
Researchers at Cleveland Clinic studied data from 53,553 women and 27,916 men. They analyzed
changes in red meat consumption over eight years, and then followed study participants for the next
eight years. Increases in red meat consumption, especially processed meat, were associated with higher
overall mortality rates.

IF YOU’RE GOING TO
Continue to eat meat, follow these guidelines:
1. Ideally, eat meat less than 3-5 times per week.
2. Combine your meat portion with lots of water-rich foods. Make sure the meal includes a salad, or
steamed vegetables – sides that will cleanse, not clog. And try to maintain a cleansing diet for the
remainder of the day.
3. Choose meats that are from a clean source:
1) Free range
2) Grass fed
3) Kosher
4) Antibiotic-free
5) Organic
4. Seafood can be a great choice for protein, essential fatty acids, and nutrition as long as you get
sustainably raised (not factory farmed) fish from a natural, clean course. Avoid fish that have high
levels of mercury.

Cows Don’t Drink Cow’s Milk… Why Would You?
The medical field and onslaught of media coverage encourage people to drink milk and eat dairy products
because “It does the body good.” However, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The Milk Myth
Dairy products are now in vogue with many people who fall privy to “white mustache” celebrity endorsements
and media coverage and assume this type of diet to be a health advantage. Many people view milk and other
dairy products as a means to guard against degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis. But how much do
you really know about this white liquid? In truth, there may be better ways to get your calcium than from these
high-protein, high-fat products.
Here are three big reasons to cut the dairy:
1. Dairy can cause or worsen acne and other skin issues as well as cause bloating and gas.
2. Dairy intolerance is one of the most common food sensitivities and can lead to weight gain, insulin
resistance, and osteoporosis (due to its acidity).
3. An acid diet can actually leach calcium from the bones.
What can you do instead?
1. Eat a plant-based diet.
2. Swap cow’s milk for almond milk, coconut milk or oat milk!
3. Eat lots of green veggies and supplement with things like flaxseed and almonds.
4. Ensure you have enough of vitamins D & K to absorb and assimilate calcium.

POISON #4: THE POISON OF
A diet that promotes over-acidification of the blood and tissues allows for a terrain that is conducive to the
growth of virus, bacteria, yeast, and fungus – the great decomposers of cells and tissues in the human body.
Think of it like this: A refrigerator must stay cold in order for food to stay free of bacteria, fungus, and mold. If
the terrain of the refrigerator is compromised and the refrigerator begins to warm up, the food inside will begin
to grow bacteria that evolves into yeast and mold. The food begins to deteriorate and is destroyed. The same
thing happens to the inside of your body when you overeat acid-producing foods. This is how all infectious and
degenerative diseases begin.
What’s the solution?
To reduce and eliminate acid you need a diet consisting of live alkaline foods: dark green and yellow
vegetables, soy beans, sprouted nuts, seeds, grains, and essential fatty acids. This diet lowers the over-
acidification of the blood and tissues with its abundance of bases and alkaline salts.
Just Say NO to the Following Acid Addictions:
1. Excessive Caffeine
2. Processed Sugar
3. Alcohol
4. White, Processed Foods
5. Processed Vinegar
6. Nicotine
7. Drugs
