Summary
New research reveals how ignoring fatigue and low motivation could triple your risk of cognitive decline—plus the sleep timing mistake that's sabotaging your metabolism.
In this episode, Arnold reveals the hidden signals your body sends before major health issues develop—and why most people miss them entirely.
You'll discover why that afternoon energy crash isn't just about needing more coffee. New research shows that excessive daytime sleepiness and low enthusiasm can triple your risk of early cognitive decline, even if you're sleeping 8+ hours.
You'll also learn:
- Why your bedtime matters more than how much you sleep you get.
- Whether compression gear actually works (the science may surprise you)
- Simple bedtime changes that protect your metabolism and mental sharpness

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club. |
| 0:02.9 | I was recently thinking about all the ways we adapt and don't notice this more, |

| 1:13.6 | we've all learned to ignore the ones that might be trying to tell us something crucial |

| 1:25.6 | aren't about the dramatic moments. They're about recognizing when normal has quietly shifted into something that deserves our attention. |
| 1:35.3 | Keep that in mind as you listen to today's episode. |
