3pm Slump Destroying Your Focus? Here's What's Really Happening

In this solo episode, Mark Hyman explains that the afternoon energy crash is not a willpower issue but a sign of deeper imbalances. He outlines three hidden drivers: blood sugar swings caused by skipping breakfast or eating carb-heavy meals, disrupted circadian rhythms that flatten energy, and chronic stress compounded by caffeine overuse. Hyman offers practical strategies to build meals with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, align daily habits with the body's natural clock, and reduce stress to achieve steady, all-day energy and improved focus.
