Ep. 132 Why adulting is so exhausting — how to twenty-something

If you’re always tired, you’re not alone, but you also might be the reason for your exhaustion. From shorter days and less sunlight to sitting for 10 hours straight, I explain how our modern world completely goes against the natural rhythms our bodies were built for. Getting around this exhaustion looks like getting back to the basics, while also recognizing that being an adult is exhausting!

Key Takeaways:

Inheriting all of the responsibilities once held by your parents means all of the mental load falls on you
Our society expects consistent productivity year-round, but humans were designed to ebb and flow with the seasons
Sitting all day tells your body it only needs enough energy to sit — which is why you feel wiped out after work
Everyone’s tired, but if you want to feel less drained, you have to master the basics: sleep, nutrition, and movement.
