Why You’re Always Tired: The Silent Signs of Underfueling in Athletes

Many athletes struggle with constant fatigue, brain fog, and sluggish recovery without realizing that underfueling is the root cause. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many athletes don’t eat enough to match their training demands and how that impacts performance, sleep, and injury risk. We’ll cover the silent signs of underfueling—like lingering soreness, lack of focus, and disrupted sleep—and why simply eating "healthy" isn’t always enough. You’ll also get practical strategies to fuel smarter, from balancing carbs, proteins, and healthy fats to staying properly hydrated with professional-grade electrolytes. Plus, I’ll share why bloodwork can be a game-changer for identifying hidden nutrient deficiencies and optimizing recovery.
