Tired of hitting that wall every afternoon? Combat veteran and metabolic coach Josh Holyfield breaks down the real science behind your 2 PM energy crashes and gives you the exact 3-step system to fix them in 48 hours.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why your afternoon crashes aren't about aging or needing more coffee
  • The blood sugar rollercoaster that's destroying your metabolism
  • How poor eating habits create a fatal spiral leading to diabetes, hormone problems, and heart disease
  • The simple 3-step fix: strategic eating timing, protein targets, and resistance training
  • Why muscle mass is your body's primary defense against metabolic breakdown
  • The exact protein formula based on your body weight

Josh has used this system with over 2,000 men to rebuild their metabolic health from the ground up. This isn't about willpower or extreme discipline - it's about working with your biology instead of fighting against it.

The three-step solution: stop eating backwards, get enough protein, and lift weights three times per week. It's that simple.

Ready to go from surviving on caffeine to having steady energy all day? Josh explains exactly how to implement this starting tomorrow.

If you're a successful man who's mastered everything except your own health, this episode gives you the systematic approach to reclaim your energy and protect your long-term health.

Your family deserves the best version of you. That starts with taking care of the vehicle that carries you through everything else.
