Do you remember what it feels like to actually feel good?
Not just "okay," or "getting by with coffee," but genuinely energized, clear-headed, and ready to attack the day? If you can’t remember, you are not alone. In 2026, we are facing a silent epidemic that experts are calling "Metabolic Burnout."
Despite having more "health hacks," wearables, and energy drinks than ever before, we are the most exhausted generation in history. Why? Because we are looking for energy in all the wrong places.
In Chapter 1 of The SuperNatural Lifestyle, I wrote something that has become startlingly relevant today:
You don't need another caffeine boost. You need to fix your mitochondria.
The 2026 "Food as Medicine" Shift
For decades, the "diet" conversation was only about weight loss. "Eat less, move more, lose weight." But that model has failed. The new frontier of health isn't about the scale—it's about cellular energy.
A major 2026 trend report just identified "Food as Medicine" as the #2 global health priority, signaling a massive shift away from quick fixes and toward metabolic healing. People are realizing that "low calorie" often means "low energy."
⚠️ The Brain-Drain Connection
Your gut health is directly controlling your brain energy. A groundbreaking January 2026 study from Northwestern University revealed that gut microbes can actually rewire the brain, influencing cognitive function and energy levels. When you eat processed fillers, you aren't just hurting your waistline—you are literally dimming your brain's lights.
The "SuperNatural" Fix: Anabolic Energy
Most people live in a chronic Catabolic state—breaking down their own tissue for energy because they aren't fueling properly. This leaves you tired, weak, and craving sugar.
My system is designed to keep you Anabolic. This doesn't just mean "building muscle." It means your body has a surplus of energy to repair organs, fight disease, and fuel your brain. When you reach this state, which I call Homeostasis, energy isn't something you have to force—it's something you naturally have.
Step 1: Stop The "Filler" Fatigue
The first step to fixing your energy is to stop eating "Peasant Food" (fillers). Processed grains and sugars cause massive blood sugar spikes followed by crushing crashes. This rollercoaster destroys your insulin sensitivity and leaves your mitochondria (your cells' power plants) unable to produce energy efficiently.
In Chapter 2, I explain that Whole Foods are the only fuel source your body recognizes. When you switch to whole foods, your energy stabilizes instantly because you are feeding your cells, not just your stomach.
Step 2: Master Your "Go-To" Foods
You need to identify the foods that make YOU feel powerful. For me, it's specific combinations like lean red meat and potatoes, or eggs and oatmeal. These aren't random; they are strategic.
- Need quick energy? Eat fruit (Nature's sugar).
- Need sustained energy? Eat complex carbs (Oats/Rice) with Protein.
- Need recovery? Eat Fats and Protein.
This is the essence of my third rule: Time Your Nutrients. If you eat fat when you need explosive energy, you will feel sluggish. If you eat sugar when you need to rest, you will crash. The SuperNatural Lifestyle Hard Copy contains the specific charts I use to time this perfectly.
The "Metabolic Flexibility" Advantage
In 2026, scientists are obsessed with "Metabolic Flexibility"—the ability to switch between burning fat and sugar for fuel. If you are "metabolically inflexible," you are tired all the time because your body can't access its own fat stores for energy.
My rule of "Never Mix Sugars and Fats" is the fastest way to regain this flexibility. By separating your fuel sources, you train your body to burn what is available efficiently. You stop the storage signal (Insulin) from blocking your energy production.
Stop Surviving. Start Thriving.
If you are tired of needing three coffees to get through the morning, it’s time to look at your plate. Your body is a high-performance machine that has been fed low-grade fuel for too long.
The "Wellness Revolution" I wrote about years ago is finally here. The government admits it. The science confirms it. Now it's time for you to live it.
