The 80/20 Rule For Achieving Vibrant Health

It Doesn’t Have to Be Hard!

Achieving vibrant health doesn’t require pain, expense… or hours in the gym. The goal is to start with the simple-but-high-impact habits that deliver quick results—so you feel better fast. Once your energy’s up and your pain is down, momentum carries you forward.

Forget “perfect” plans…

The secret lies in a simple 80/20 Rule…

80% of your results come from 20% of your actions. Focus on the easy habits that create the biggest payoff, and you’ll build a foundation you can stick with.

Strategy #1 – DECIDE to Connect the Dots

Drug companies spend BILLIONS every year to convince us we need pills for energy, pills for sleep, pills for allergies, and pills for pain. But the truth is, our body’s “DEFAULT” state is vibrant health. Change your diet-and-lifestyle and the pills will take a flying leap!

The Sandard American Diet: (SAD) Is Killing Us!

A hundred years ago, we ate food grown in mineral-rich soil and worked physically every day. Now, we eat nutrient-poor processed food and sit for hours. That’s why half of Americans face chronic disease. The good news? When we remove the causes—poor diet, toxins, inactivity—the body heals itself.

Health isn’t an accident. It starts with the DICISION to connect the dots between diet-and-lifestyle and your health.

Strategy #2 – Drink More Water

Dehydration quietly drives many chronic problems—from fatigue to allergies and high blood pressure. Yet most of us mistake coffee, tea, and soda for hydration. (they’re actually DE- hydrating.)

Aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of pure water daily. (Example: 150 lbs = 75 oz of water.) Hydration helps your lungs, heart, and cells function properly—without it, your body triggers histamine responses that mimic illness.

Strategy #3 – Get More Sunshine (Vitamin D)

Vitamin D is nature’s immune activator. Without it, your body’s T-cells—the infection fighters—can’t even “wake up.” Deficiency is linked to bone loss, depression, and weakened immunity.

Get 15 minutes of sunlight twice a week without sunscreen. If that’s not possible:

  • Best: Take cod liver oil (a natural Vitamin D source)

  • Good: Use full-spectrum light bulbs indoors

Sunlight isn’t just physical medicine—it’s emotional fuel. More sun = more serotonin = better mood and energy.

Strategy #4 – Prioritize Sleep

Sleep restores every system in the body. Chronic insomnia sabotages immunity, mood, and metabolism.

To improve sleep:

  • Avoid caffeine, sugar, and alcohol before bed

  • Eat lightly and finish meals two hours before bedtime

  • Turn off bright screens 30 minutes prior

  • Keep consistent sleep and wake times

  • Try calming rituals like stretching, reading, or a warm bath

Your body can’t heal if it’s exhausted. Sleep is your most underrated supplement.

Strategy #5 – Move Every Day

After oxygen, water, and food, movement is your next most essential nutrient. Exercise:

  • Expands blood flow and lowers blood pressure

  • Burns fat and stabilizes blood sugar

  • Strengthens bones and improves hormone balance

A brisk 30-minute walk daily works wonders. If time’s tight, three 10-minute sessions yield the same benefits. Even light movement—stretching, rebounding on a mini-trampoline, dancing while cooking—counts. Momentum matters more than mileage.

Strategy #6 – Clean Up Your Diet

You don’t need a diet overhaul—just smarter swaps.

Eat more raw fruits and vegetables. Cooking destroys enzymes that help digestion, forcing your pancreas to work overtime.

Avoid processed foods. Packaged and refined products are stripped of nutrients and loaded with chemicals, sugar, and salt. The closer food is to its natural state, the better your body uses it.

Eat smaller, balanced meals more often:

  • Carbs: fruits, sweet potatoes, legumes, whole grains

  • Proteins: lean meats, eggs, nuts, cheese

  • Veggies: unlimited non-starchy greens and colorful produce

  • Fats: butter, avocados, nuts, olive oil, oily fish

Think progress, not perfection. Small improvements compound into transformation.

Strategy #7 – Keep the Colon Clean

Health begins in the gut. A sluggish colon traps waste and toxins, leading to “auto-intoxication”—where the body reabsorbs what should’ve been eliminated. Over time this leads to fatigue, inflammation, and disease.

A clean digestive tract means clean blood, better nutrient absorption, and higher energy. You can support gut health by:

  • Increasing fiber and raw produce

  • Drinking plenty of water

  • Using a safe colon-cleanse periodically (Colonix by Dr. Natura tastes best, though it’s pricey)

Remember Dr. Bernard Jensen’s words: “Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty.”

The Bottom Line

Vibrant health isn’t complicated—it’s a series of small, smart choices that honor how your body was designed to function.

DECIDE to connect the dots!

Drink water. Get sunlight. Sleep. Move. Eat clean. Stay regular. Do the easy 20% that gives you 80% of the results—and before long, you’ll feel better than you have in years.
