Do you hit a wall between 1 and 4 PM? The heavy eyelids, brain fog, and sudden drop in productivity (what most of us call the "afternoon crash") is more than just bad luck.

In this episode, I break down why it happens, what the research shows, and the simple fixes you can use to restore energy and focus. You'll learn:

 

• The biology behind the mid-afternoon slump (circadian rhythms, blood sugar swings, hormones, and more)
• Habits that make the crash worse—like meal timing, caffeine, and sleep patterns
• Quick fixes you can try today to feel more energized and clear-headed
• Longer-term lifestyle shifts that keep your energy steady for good
• A real-life case study showing how small changes can eliminate the 3 PM wall

By the end, you’ll walk away with a practical toolkit to keep your afternoons productive—and your energy balanced.
