Eating Clean, Training Hard and Still Exhausted? This Is Why
If you're eating clean, training hard, but still feeling exhausted, there's a bigger game at play here.
If that is you, your effort is rarely the problem. The system your effort sits inside is.
In this video I break down why so many executives, founders and high performers do everything right on paper and still stall.
Most performance advice speaks in silos.
Your body is a fitness problem.
Your head is a mental health problem.
Your business is a leadership problem.
In reality it is usually one intertwined problem showing up in different places.
What I cover:
- Why an executive needs to understand the demand signature. As there's more at play- whether it's physical, emotional, professional, or psychological- board meetings, travel, poor sleep, and dehydration all matter when it comes down to recalibrating and gaining back energy.
- How to identify a constraint signature and recognise that's the thing holding you back when it comes down to elevations in your performance
- Why chronic stress, a calorie deficit and high intensity training together can leave you gaining body fat while eating less.
