Over 40 and tired all the time? It’s usually two things: insulin + sleep.
Here’s what’s happening (in plain English):
If insulin stays high all day (snacking, sugar, liquid calories), your body struggles to access stored fuel.
That’s why you get energy crashes, cravings, and that stubborn belly fat.
Then the amplifier kicks in: bad sleep.
Poor sleep ramps hunger + cravings + stress hormones… and your insulin control gets worse.
That’s the loop.
Break it with this 7-Day Reset (simple + doable):
Same bedtime + same wake time for 7 days
No caffeine after 12PM
Daily 14–16 hour fast (water + electrolytes, no sugary drinks)
First meal: protein → veg → carbs (if you earn them)
Walk 10 minutes after meals (insulin cheat code)
Lift weights 3x this week (full body, basics)
Last 90 mins before bed: screens down, lights low, calm down
And fasting isn’t “detox magic.”
Your liver + kidneys handle detox.
But fasting can lower insulin, give digestion a break, help you use stored fuel, and may support internal “cleanup” processes.
