That said, the average time I get up is 8am\u00a0If I\u2019m gigging and on an early plane to London I might be up at 5am, but if I\u2019m at home, a sleep-in for me is about 9am. I\u2019ll do some breathwork in bed, then I\u2019ll brush my teeth and wash my face.<\/p>\n
I will go downstairs and take an ice bath. I\u2019ve been doing breathwork and cold therapy for about 13 years \u2014 long before they became popularised. Since I started doing the breathwork seriously about 10 years ago I haven\u2019t had any sore throats, colds, flus\u2026 I haven\u2019t been on an antibiotic at all since I started doing the Wim Hof method.<\/p>\n
I have a very inflamed body, a lot of which is due to a car accident I was in in 2007. I have a 7in plate and 13 screws in my left leg and a lot of arthritis in the leg; I\u2019ve tendonitis, disc degeneration\u2026 I\u2019ve found cold therapy really helps with inflammation and I think it helps with mental resilience and fortitude because you\u2019re sitting in a situation that you don\u2019t want to be in and you\u2019ve to battle with your mind to stay in there.<\/p>\n
I might be intermittent fasting but if I\u2019m not, I\u2019ll have a high protein breakfast. I might have a chicken breast with tumeric and dillisk with three scrambled eggs, maybe some avocado and kimchi and a slice of sourdough bread. I might make a banana omelette with three eggs, protein powder, goji berries, and seeds or I might have steak and eggs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll do 15 minutes of stretch work. I do it watching Judge Judy which is my guilty pleasure.<\/p>\n
My kids do karate on a Saturday morning so that frees me up. I might go to a sauna by the sea in Killiney or Greystones with some friends
followed by a coffee. I might shoot down to Tramore or Dunmore East to do a bit of sea fishing.<\/p>\n
If I haven\u2019t gone fishing I\u2019ll have lunch with my family. I barbecue nearly every day.<\/p>\n
If my daughter Breanna is not doing karate or teaching it, we might go for a cycle as a family. She is a world karate champion. My son Braden is also a world champion in his category. If you\u2019d asked me before they were born whether I\u2019d be a pushy father I\u2019d have said \u2018yes\u2019 but if you ask them now they\u2019d say I\u2019m not \u2014 all their drive comes from themselves.<\/p>\n
We love geo-caching. It\u2019s like treasure hunting \u2014 you jump in the car and can end up anywhere searching for treasure. The treasure could be anything from a scroll on a lamppost to something in a box that you get to keep. It\u2019s great fun.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re eating out we\u2019ll go somewhere casual \u2014 there\u2019s a lovely ramen place in D\u00fan Laoghaire that we like to go to or my wife Mair\u00e9ad might make a curry or a lasagne.<\/p>\n
If I am working on a public show I\u2019ll be gone from early in the day. If it\u2019s a corporate show I\u2019ll shoot off at about 5pm, liaise with the organisers, and get set up.<\/p>\n
Everyone will have their own time to chill out. Myself and Mair\u00e9ad might watch something on the television and then we\u2019ll get a board game going. At the moment it\u2019s Catan. I never thought we\u2019d be a gaming family but we love a game you can have a good argument over.<\/p>\n
When we play Monopoly we play the Cheaters Edition \u2014 it\u2019ll descend into chaos by the end of it. We also play a lot of chess. If we don\u2019t play a board game we\u2019ll watch something together. We really enjoyed The Traitors UK as my friend Tom Elderfield was in it and the kids know him well too.<\/p>\n
We are all night owls so I won\u2019t be in bed before 1am on a Saturday. I read three or four books simultaneously \u2014 magic, mentalism, hypnosis, psychology, biohacking, the allied arts, the mystery arts \u2014 strange and weird books and interesting ones on self-development.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m currently reading The Advantage by Patrick M Lencioni and have just finished Subconsciously by Aaron Surtees.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll fall asleep when my head hits the pillow but if I wake up during the night I\u2019ll put on a nine-hour binaural delta beats playlist on YouTube and that will help me go straight back to sleep.<\/p>\n
