I’m 34, and a dad of two young kids.
They’re everything to me, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.
But being absolutely exhausted...
All.
Of.
The.
Time?
That’s not what I signed up for.
Eventually, after yet another night where I ended up face-planting onto the sofa, straight after putting the kids to bed - with zero time to spend with my wife, properly relax, or just enjoy myself...
I knew I needed to do something about it.
Problem was, I didn't really know what that 'something' was.
So I drifted from idea to idea, clinging on to every bit of advice I could find from Dr. Google, influencers, that colleague who frankly looked just as exhausted as I did…
(You know the type. The guy who swears by his "morning routine" but also looks like he's held together by coffee and sheer spite.)
I tried quitting sugar cold turkey, spent months forcing myself to avoid every carb, and even threw out all the snacks in my house…
(My kids were thrilled about that decision, by the way. Nothing says "Dad of the Year" like confiscating Goldfish crackers like you're running a contraband operation.)
But nothing worked.
The outcome was always inevitable.
I'd reach that point where I just gave up because it wasn't working or, worse, I caved and loaded up on sugary garbage in one moment of weakness that led to me saying 'screw it' and just giving up.
One sleeve of Oreos turns into the whole pack.
One "cheat meal" turns into a three-day bender that would make a college freshman proud.
This kept happening, over and over, until I finally figured out what was actually going on.
The problem wasn't the sugar itself.
It was when I was eating it and what it was doing to my blood sugar throughout the day.
I wasn't failing because I lacked discipline.
I was failing because I was trying to fix the wrong thing.
This system was born from that discovery.
Once I stopped trying to muscle through with willpower and started targeting the specific times of day when my energy was leaking, everything shifted.
I wasn't restricting myself into misery or counting every calorie like some kind of spreadsheet accountant.
I was just plugging the holes at the right moments.
Simple, strategic moves that kept my energy steady instead of spiking and crashing every two hours.
No more grinding through some miserable meal plan that made me want to flip a table every time someone mentioned "carbs."
No more pretending I was fine while internally screaming at the third person to ask me a question before 9 a.m.
The result?
I had steady energy from morning to night, no more post-lunch crashes, and I finally stopped snapping at my kids about the tiniest thing.
I started showing up as the dad I actually wanted to be.
Not the exhausted, irritable zombie doing a terrible impression of a functional adult.
And now, for the first time ever, I'm sharing this exact system with the public…
Not because I'm some guru or because I have all the answers.
But because I know there are thousands of guys out there right now, standing in their kitchen at 10 p.m. eating cereal straight from the box, wondering when they turned into this guy.
And I want you to know: there's a way out.
