Eating Clean, Training Hard and Still Exhausted? This Is Why

Eating Clean, Training Hard and Still Exhausted? This Is Why30 sep13 min

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.
