Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, how an earth are you doing?

I should probably come up with a different like thing at the beginning, shouldn't I?

How on earth are you doing?

Well, either way I hope you're having an awesome day.

That is all we ever want and hopefully a little

bit of wisdom today will go a long way in making the old brain percolate on what you're doing

and why you're doing it. So today is going to be led by a user's question.

Tom is off careering around China, so there's no Q&A show. So I'm throwing a few

questions and hopefully useful answers into this short Monday show.

So, the question.

Hi Ben, hope things are good, still loving the content, especially the podcast.

Thank you, sir. I'm a reasonably fit guy, 30 years old,

strength and conditioning training three times a week with a reasonable diet on top of that,

and I generally get eight hours of sleep a night. I'm

180 centimetres tall 81 kilos and around 15% body fat according to the

machine at the gym which I know isn't that accurate. I find that

some days I get extremely tired and lethargic after lunch. Lunch is usually a chicken salad without a carb sauce or often scramble eggs on whole meal toast.

I seem to find that the carb content doesn't factor in that much.

The tiredness seems to hit me whatever I eat. Just wondering if you have any idea why this might be or if it's something I should be bothered about.

I work as a drum tutor and sometimes I find that my cognitive stamina takes a real hit for a while after eating in the middle of the day.

So I can't be at optimal function for my students which of course bothers me thanks Tom so there's a couple of

things to explore here and obviously I as a coach if I was working directly with Tom
