Episode 67: How Improve Your Energy & Focus With Food with Karl Pilz
I’ve talked about self care before on the podcast because it’s incredibly important and often overlooked. I’ve even told you what being bipolar has taught me about business and self care. One thing I’ve never talked about though is the role that food plays. It makes sense that the fuel we put into our bodies is going to impact what we’re able to do and today we are digging into how to improve your energy and focus with food.
Karl is a former member of the corporate world who allowed work and business overtake his life to the point where he ballooned to 227 lbs with zero energy. He decided to dive into the nutrition world and committed himself to learning the TRUTH about how the body works. After losing 53 lbs, Karl now helps others take a similar journey through his website NutritionToTheEdge.com and the I’m Too Busy For Nutrition podcast.
In this episode we’ll cover:
- The 80/20 rule for giving your brain the fuel it needs to run at optimal power.
- Why you don’t have to turn your life upside down to feel better and healthier.
- Some of the many “rules” that have no scientific basis that we were all taught growing up.
- The simple swaps you can make to supercharge your energy & focus.
- Why eating fat doesn’t make you fat. It makes you energetic & focused.
- What to look for when buying a course.
- How our food choices impact our energy, focus, productivity, mindset, confidence, charisma & optimism.
- How to give your brain the right fuel so that you can get on with your busy life.
- How we sabotage our brain chemicals with the food we eat.
- The shocking fact that 60% of people only get 1-2 hours of focused work done per day.
- Why you’re so hungry and you’re crashing in the middle of the day.
