Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I finish a hard workout and then get swept into the rest of my day, often not eating anything real for hours
- After a hard session I’m never hungry, so I just don’t eat until hours later when my appetite comes back
- I wake up foggy and heavy and it takes me half the morning to feel switched on
- I sit down to start work and my head is still foggy and slow for the first hour
- The low mood has me convinced I’m weak and incapable, and I need something that gives me hard proof otherwise
