Where Did All My Energy Go?

And how do I get it back?

Ever stop and think…

“Why am I so flipping tired all the time?”

You used to be able to stay up late, bounce back after a long day, go on a run or power through a heavy workout, and still have energy for friends or family.

Now?

You’re wiped out by 3pm. You’re chugging coffee and reaching for something sweet to make it through the day. You’ve got zero drive and even less motivation. You want to keep up with your kids — but you’re too exhausted to do more than scroll your phone on the couch.

Sound familiar?

If so, you’re not alone. I work with guys in their 40s and 50s every day who feel the exact same way.

Here’s the deal:

Your energy didn’t just “vanish.” It’s been drained — slowly — by years of habits and stressors you didn’t even realize were taking a toll.

The 5 biggest energy drains (and how to fix them)

🍞 1. Blood sugar crashes If you’re skipping protein, starting your day with toast or cereal, and relying on caffeine to stay awake — your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster.

✅ Fix it: Build every meal around protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Start your day strong and stop chasing hunger all afternoon.

🌙 2. Eating from sunrise to bedtime When you eat late into the evening — or constantly snack throughout the day — your body never gets a real break. Your digestion stays “on,” and your circadian rhythm gets thrown off. That means worse sleep, lower morning energy, and sluggish metabolism.

✅ Fix it: Eat in a consistent window during daylight hours. Finish dinner 2–3 hours before bed.

🛌 3. Poor sleep (even if you're in bed 7–8 hours) Just lying in bed isn’t the same as deep, restorative sleep. Stress, screen time, light exposure, and erratic habits all sabotage quality sleep.

✅ Fix it: Set a regular bedtime. Ditch screens an hour before bed. Create a wind-down ritual — journal, stretch, breathe, read.

💪 4. No strength training If you’re not moving your muscles, you’re not building energy-producing mitochondria. And cardio alone won’t cut it. You need strength work.

✅ Fix it: Lift something heavy 2–3x a week. Kettlebells, bodyweight, resistance bands — whatever works for you.

☀️ 5. Not getting outside and walking Your body needs light, movement, and rhythm to produce energy and regulate sleep. Sitting indoors all day messes with your natural clock — and tanks your motivation.

✅ Fix it: Get outside every day. Walk after meals. Take calls on the go. Get morning sunlight on your skin and eyes (no sunglasses).

Here’s the thing:

You don’t have to feel like this forever.

The solution isn’t another energy drink or cutting carbs or trying to willpower your way through the day.

It’s about real habits that work with your biology — not against it.
