Stressing on the importance of coffee in his diet, he concludes, “Coffee is single-handedly the biggest thing for me.” The place for the second most important thing went to fasting. When he fasts, he doesn’t just consume coffee. No, he has a special blend, which is full of healthy ingredients.

Talking about his fasting, he said, “The last 10 days I’ve done what I call a hard reset, to change and try to make things better. I have lost 15 pounds. I’ve done a six-day fast with water and a special coffee blend for wellness that I’ve been working on with Dave Phillips, and went on a bit of a retreat.”
