Thank you 😊

[@user-eh1ou2tg7t]

Thank you 🎉.

[@goldenhawk9322]

One of mine is to say something nice to someone every day. Another is write 3 good things that happened daily. It's helped me reshape my world view.

[@user-np1qm5ni6o]

Prayer is an important part of my day, thank you

[@bunnyhollowcrafts]

I'm in week one of intermittent fasting; we'll see. It's not difficult but I'm retired and life is easier with grown kids. I have journaled every day forever, which means at 64, I have a pile of books I need to burn. Who cares what I had for lunch? But I plan in my journal, think, pray, everything is in that journal. Passionate about learning more and more about music which has kept me sitting on the piano bench for 4 years. Starting to walk again and I know ... an exercise routine is critical to a long and happy life. I really appreciate finding you on you tube. 64 is so different than 64 in my parents or grandparents years. I feel young and energetic and there is so much to learn. Thanks for your videos!

[@queenofdahouse1591]

I’m also 64

[@ilax4244]

I'm 65 with no set routine. My favorite take on all your advice is to plan my meals in advance. I waste food and eat out far too often. Thank you.. for reminding me to organize my life..

[@pirateslife4me]

I love how down-to-earth, accessible & beautifully simple these are... plus powerful as a whole!!

[@kathycrapo3224]

Thank you for such good content. Would appreciate it more, as with others’ videos, if you would reduce apologies or lengthy introductions. With so much accessible information nowadays, I generally turn off anything that doesn’t get to the point within @30 seconds. (Brutal) editing is so appreciated.

[@debraraby4376]

Dear Dr Kim, if you ever read this I would like to say a massive thank you. I only discovered your KZbin channel today and already learnt so much. You have such a lovely manner and I bet your patients miss that. Plus, I love your sense of humour and how relatable that you are. Thanks again.

[@KimFosterMD]

Thank you so much for these kind words. You made my day ❤️

[@diplomat2623]

Loved this video! 👌🏽Thank you for these reminders.

[@HLJlovejoy]

Loved this and do a majority of yours. Praying is a must for me ❤🙏🏾.

[@mariarooney6262]

Excellent list. Thank you!

[@IvonneHeath]

praying for sure!

[@VagabondWay]

Yesssss! Being aware of habits has and continues to change my life. Bundling a habit like you did to get running- great reminder and example of how to achieve results!!!

[@WendyIrene]

Loved hearing your habits. We have a lot of similar ones. I love being caffeine free as well, and like you resisted it for a long time. It feels great to not be hooked on something. I’ve tried intermittent fasting before but didn’t stick with it. I’m trying it again now and watching your videos makes me excited about the benefits of it.

[@frans.nadeak]

Thanks Kim!

[@user-ip9mw8yg9o]

So good! Thank you

[@user-sj6tn7nw6b]

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIPS!!!!❤!!!!

[@lanabanana6849]

Thank you so much doctor Kim for this video. I like how you run in the morning. I walk outside with my baby granddaughter every morning while my daughter does her Pilates. I feel very useful and she amd I are getting exercise in the process. I should adopt planning the meals. Ty for this useful video

[@joeburke2323]

Great tips on habits, especially love the priority list of tasks for the next day!

[@marilynmouton9818]

Great advice thank you 🎉

[@marciawilson1113]

Great video. One thing I do is meal pep early in the day because by the time 5 pm rolls around, the last thing I want to do after a productive day is cook. I actually put it on my list and check it off.

[@shaifalichapatwala9275]

I am 47 year south Asian female. I love your channel

[@KimFosterMD]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m so glad you 're enjoying my channel 😊

[@marvicemaclean4906]

I just found your channel and watched a few videos so far…and I love ALL of them ❤

[@saturdaymorningventwithnat9966]

Great channel so far! I just found you today. You reignited my fire to get into life coaching and start my own channel. Thanks for letting us in on some of your habits. I do intermittent fasting as well. I think one habit I started is to stop using the microwave, and instead eating my food cold or warmed up on the stove. Thanks again!

[@thaenajonne5970]

Goodmorning Kim! I just discovered your chanel today and im binge watching your videos while getting ready for work . Thank you for sharing!

[@KimFosterMD]

That's fantastic!! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content 😍

[@catalhuyuk7]

I stepped onto the elliptical with my phone in my pocket and this video started. Akin to a butt dial but YT video instead. What an absolute pleasure you are to listen to and encourage us. Subscribed as soon as I did my time on the beast. Just want to clarify though, no one can get by without breakfast. That means that you’ve stopped eating. Breakfast means to break fast. It’s the first meal after a long period of not eating, typically after sleep. JS♥️🇨🇦

[@amy2284]

Thank you for your video - I just found your channel. My habit which cues my workout is to always have my workout clothes the night before laid out and water bottle. So, in the morning there is no friction to put them on and workout.

[@pattyabdella44]

New subscriber ❤ I started intermittent fasting and feel so good. My energy level is like I was when I was younger. I’m checking out your other videos on it.

[@KimFosterMD]

Thanks for subbing! And I'm so glad you're having a great result with IF ❤

[@melissagreen9093]

Kim, thank you so very much for your amazingly positive video this morning. It caught my eye when I received the notification. I’m on a weight loss journey for the umpteenth time. However, my priority is to work on changing my mindset and incorporating intermittent fasting most days to help me in resetting my mind and body as regards to food. I’m going to be 56 in a couple of weeks and I feel like your video gives me some practical suggestions to use. I hope you have a great day!!💗

[@KimFosterMD]

Aw thank you so much Melissa! I’m so glad this was helpful for you!! ❤️

[@josephleyva7471]

Great. Thank you. Shalom

[@ro2929]

Well done! Castor oil on my belly button/ eyebrows and lashes at night.

[@SJ-cd4gx]

Just seen this video 😊😊😊😊I'm subscribing from 🇬🇧

[@juanitomaxxcarnaje3877]

I am new to your channel and I love it. I am a 53 old male 140 pounds with an athletic build, I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Intermittent fasting has done wonders for me both body and mind iamb on the 16/8 fasting schedule my last meal of the day is 4 PM in the afternoon and my first meal of the day is between 8 AM and 9 AM the next day I also find that weight training In a fasted state is incredible for the mind and muscles

[@KimFosterMD]

Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you're enjoying my channel! And I'm also happy to hear how well IF is working for you! It can be life-changing, right? 😊

[@kristyburns3890]

I’m new to your channel. I actually just came across it a few hours ago. I am considering intermittent fasting. Thanks for all the info. I like warm toes at bedtime too. I have a heated throw across the foot of my bed. I turn it on about 30 minutes before I go to bed.

[@KimFosterMD]

Ah perfect! A kindred spirit! ❤

[@shaifalichapatwala9275]

Very good

[@KimFosterMD]

Thanks!

[@footballzone2324]

hello, thanks for the information. Greetings from me

[@vanessalanois9384]

Thank you for those tips ! Journaling was Always a must for me since i was ... Able to write 😅😅 Working out without something in my stomach scares me ... Is it a limiting believes to think that ? Thank you again

[@KimFosterMD]

Yes, journaling is wonderful, isn't it? And you're not alone with your concern about exercising without eating first -- I actually used to have the same worry myself. You should check out this video I recently did where I talk about this (and a few other mistakes people make with IF), it might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/il6laqKtqsp9oKc

[@liyan8166]

Hello Doc Kim, can you please make a video about hypothyroidism among women, and how to be friends with our hormones, thanks a lot for the inspirational videos you make.🎉

[@KimFosterMD]

Great suggestion! Will do! Thanks for watching ❤

[@MsMccopeland]

A healthy habit I have is getting outside soon after I wake up to soak in the sunshine. I would like to have less (or no) caffeine. What kind of decaf do you use? I know some decaffeination processes are healthier than others.

[@gofasters1]

I have Raynauds, I'll have to try the hot water bottle in the foot of my bed. Thx

[@KimFosterMD]

Yes! Let me know if you like it 😊

Jesus is coming be ready ❤❤❤❤

[@federicasardanelli9019]

It sound like a threat. Just to know.... which of the deities is going to come exactly?

[@robinr5669]

Been saying that for 2400 years.

[@aishahwilliamsmobley]

Jesus is NOT GOD. But he is coming back to fight the antiChrist or the Dajjal.

[@nabhanjallad5025]

Jesus will never come again but i believe in him

[@user-ix5qd1bp4q]

Habits Hobbies life of a Cave Man better or in a Middle Path.

[@carmenabally4283]

The best habits ever : Pray 5 times daily regularly , my routine get organized around them . The best meditation that calms me down and gives me tranquility and peace of mind is ( thickr) to repeat the name of Allah in meaningful phrases " Subhan Allah= Glory to Allah , Al hamdulilah= praise to Allah , Allahu Akbar = Allah is greater ( greater than pain / stress/ agony/ fear/any opressing power that scares me ) Islam is happiness.

[@pearlmccarthy633]

I swim a mile almost everyday.

[@viviantruong8708]

To skip the wordy introduction, start @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="95">1:35</a> 😂.

[@sauravpurohit4074]

You are pretty

[@catherinewilke5583]

A doctor who doesn’t know that decaf coffee still has caffeine. Hmmmmm

[@belle_thegoldiegirl]

Same!!

[@alexandraares]

I hate the habit of having intros and announcing what you are gonna say, instead of going to the point. When one watches hundreds of segments, these intros are atrocious.

[@viviantruong8708]

Start @1:35 to avoid the wordy introduction 😂.

[@joyconnell1318]

Inspiring! I’m on my final decade and still trying to get committed! Intentions are no good unless followed through. Been trying to loose 10 pounds for ages; I’m healthy with good energy but still feel like a dropout. So the Intermittent Fasting sounds doable. Also have healthy eating habits but drink too much on regular basis - this is changing but I know that a bonus of weight loose would totally spur me on. Thank you for the wonderful tips. Going to write down daily goals to begin! 🫶 Joy
