30: Creating a Morning Rhythm We Love: A Practical Family Guide
Episode 30
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Ready to transform your mornings? Start by asking yourself two key questions: What do you hate about your current mornings, and what do you want them to feel like? In this episode, Dr. Tom and Marissa Nixon discuss the transformation of their morning routines to create a more peaceful and structured start to their day. They share their past struggles with rushed mornings and the decision to change their habits to foster a more intentional and serene environment for their family. The Nixons emphasize the importance of identifying what they disliked about their mornings and what they wanted them to feel like, leading to a structured routine that includes quiet time, breakfast together, and spiritual practices like contemplative prayer. Key Takeaways: Creating Intentional Morning Rhythms - The Nixons redesigned their rushed mornings by asking what wasn’t working and what they wanted mornings to feel like. They built a calm, structured 6:00–7:50 AM routine focused on peace, not perfection.Holistic Health Practices for Morning Wellness - Dr. Tom’s routine includes mineral water for hydration, B vitamins for energy, gentle movement, essential oils for sinus support, and brain-boosting crossover habits like brushing with his non-dominant hand.The Neuroscience of Contemplative Prayer - Research shows it can reduce shame, fear, and anger while increasing compassion, with 10–30 minutes of quiet presence.Recommended Tools & Support: Get professional-grade supplements and wellness tools we trust: Fullscript Store – Twin City Health Explore our FREE protocols, guides, and courses: Visit Our Stan Store Want 1:1 Functional Medicine coaching?
