0:00 — My Amazing Machine
My Amazing Machine. The healthy-body, healthy-brain book. How to take care of the incredible you.

0:07 — Meet Your Machine
Guess what you are? You are the most amazing machine ever built. There is no other machine like you in the whole wide world. You are one of a kind.

0:18 — Who’s the Captain?
Deep inside your machine, safe behind your eyes, lives your Captain. Your Captain is your brain. It never, ever sleeps on the job.

0:28 — Your Dashboard Lights
You have a dashboard too. But your lights aren’t on a screen — they’re feelings in your body. That’s how your machine talks to you.

0:37 — Polish Your Gate
Your teeth are the strong white gate to your machine. Everything good that fuels you — every apple, every dinner, every drink of water — comes in through the gate.

0:48 — Rinse Off the Day
A bath or a shower is how you rinse the day away. A rinse is a reset button for the whole you.

0:55 — A Clear Deck
Tidying up isn’t a punishment. It’s a gift you give your future self. Clear deck, clear Captain.

1:02 — Fill the Tank
Your machine runs on water — more than you’d think. When you feel foggy, grumpy, or worn out, try water first.

1:11 — Good Fuel, Happy Engine
Grow-fuel is the steady kind. Zoom-fuel is the sparkly kind. So it’s a sometimes fuel, not an always fuel. You don’t have to be perfect.

1:22 — Let the Engine Run
Your machine was built to move. Movement is like a high-five between your body and your Captain.

1:29 — Plug In and Recharge
Because here’s the secret: while you sleep, you are not doing nothing. Your Captain switches on the whole night crew. You literally grow in your sleep!

1:39 — I Am Healthy
When you do these things — even just a few, even not perfectly — you get to say the truest, proudest words there are. I am healthy. I take care of me.

1:51 — Be the change.
Taking care of your machine is the kindest thing you will ever do — and you get to do it every single day, for the rest of your wonderful life.
