MOVE EAT SLEEP – BUILD BURN RECOVER – BETTER
5 5weeks to test out for yourself how to MOVE, EAT, SLEEP better so you can Build Burn Recover Better. No diet, no calorie counting, no gym equipment required. Just YOU and your keen-ness to TEST THE SCIENCE FOR YOURSELF.
Explore how to
Move to Build strength and stamina,
Eat to Burn Fuel Better and
Sleep to recover, repair and remember – better.
Explore how it feels not to diet or follow a program or use special alarms to move, eat, sleep and just feel better, any time, anywhere. Come be your own scientist and test out our health heuristics to thrive whether you’re at home, on the road, at work, under stress, on a vacation, at a restaurant, in a hotel or just about anywhere. We’ll help you test out for your self in weekly experiments how to use your own senses for how science-backed health practices for Move Eat Sleep actually work and feel for you.
We call these Move Eat Sleep try outs “experiments”
Our XB app is your Lab and Lab Book all in one.
Each week, with our XB app, you can try out a new experiment about move, eat, or sleep – or try them all – to test out the fundamentals of building, burning and recovering better work for you.
With the app, you also chart what you did that day with the experiment, as well as how you feel as you run your experiments. THAT’S IT.
ALL DATA IS GOOD DATA – Learning HOW THESE TECHNIQUES WORK FOR YOU will give you a health foundation to last a lifetime.
Learn Together, too. Each week, we also host get togethers on Teams to (i) prep for the coming week’s experiment (ii) reflect on your experiences over the past week (iii) share any questions about how its going – we learn together.
What We’ll Explore
For EAT BURN BETTER we’ll test out
- Fullness – what is satiety and how use it?
- Green & Red – the power of colour in feeling fantastic with food
- The power of SMELL to support feeling full better, longer
- The Fast Fast – for repair/recover
- note: While this approach is not at all about weight loss (fat burning), last two summers participants reported that fat burning)was aneffortless side effect. How bout that.
For MOVE BUILD BETTER – we’ll look at
- Getting to know your joints – to move and feel better
- Explore the Floor – fundamental moves for any time/any where movement/strength/balance work for your WHOLE body
- Walking Out – exploring walking and breathing to support build/burn/recover better
- Movement snacks – how to use Time and Space to feel great throughout the day
- Push Pull Hinge and Hold – How to build resilience without moving a muscle
For SLEEP recover Better – we’ll explore
- Using Light for night
- Using Deliberate Darkness for sleep and vision
- Using Sleep timing for recover/repair and memory/learning – and improved social attractiveness
- Using all the above to kill the alarm for good, forever (and why that’s important)
YOUR TIME We’re asking you to use our XB app as an easy way to offer your reflections about your experience – anonymized – of what works for you. IN other words, you are being co-scientists with us.
We’ll send you the link for the app and the associated teams site where we have our weekly meet ups. We do ask that participants fill in a brief daily form to help us understand how the practices in the weekly experiments work for you. The app will take folks through the process
What you Get – What you’ll get from this study are new knowledge, skills and practices to help you feel, perform and be better in your daily life. These are foundational skills that will last a life time.
Participants tell us that the weekly meetings are great as well for asking questions about health practices; learning how others solve challenges and being able to offer their own insights about their practices, too.
In the years we’ve been running these studies, folks tell us they’re still practicing the heuristics they tried out and found work for them from these experiments. Fantastic!
What we get This study is part of the research work in the Wellthlab.ac.uk – part of the University of Southampton. Our mission in the wellthlab is to help #makeNormalBetter for all at scale, and to learn how we can design better technologies to help support that process. Your participation helps us make these tools more effective. THANK YOU
