You're checking all the boxes: eating well, exercising, prioritizing sleep, and trying to "take better care of yourself." And yet, the exhaustion won't go away.

In this episode, we unpack why chronic fatigue and burnout often persist even when you're doing everything right. The issue isn't motivation, discipline, or another habit you need to optimize. It's what's happening in your nervous system.

We explore how prolonged stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, why traditional rest doesn't always lead to recovery, and how high-functioning individuals are especially prone to this kind of quiet burnout. You'll learn why your body may feel constantly "on," even when your mind wants to slow down, and what it actually takes to restore energy at a physiological level.

If you feel tired no matter how much you rest, wired but exhausted, or frustrated that healthy habits aren't working the way they used to, this episode will help you understand the root cause and where to begin shifting out of survival mode and into true recovery.

Hitting 40 isn't a decline. It's a checkpoint.

In this episode of Altered States Unplugged, Kyle breaks down what actually matters for men over 40 who want to feel strong, energized, and clear-headed without burning themselves into the ground.

This is a practical, no-BS conversation about men's wellness, built for real life.

Kyle cover's:

• How to eat for muscle, hormones, and sustained energy after 40

• The smartest way to train for strength without wrecking your joints

• Supplements that support performance and recovery (and which ones to skip)

• Why recovery, sleep, and stress management are non-negotiable

• Simple mental health strategies that protect focus, confidence, and longevity

If you're tired of quick fixes and ready to build something sustainable, this episode gives you a clear framework you can actually follow.

Your 40s aren't about slowing down. They're about getting intentional.

Listen in, apply one change, and keep moving forward.

This bonus episode is the replay of our live Wellness Vision Board Workshop, originally hosted with our community to kick off the year with clarity and intention.

This wasn't about lofty resolutions or hustle-driven goals. It was about slowing down, reflecting on what your mind and body actually need, and creating a wellness vision that supports your energy, nervous system, and real life.

Inside this live workshop, we guide you through:

• Reflecting on the past year and releasing what no longer serves you

• Getting clear on how you want to feel, not just what you want to accomplish

• Building a vision rooted in sustainable wellness, not burnout

• The core pillars that support long-term health and consistency

• Simple, actionable steps you can return to throughout the year

If you couldn't join us live or want to revisit the experience, this replay gives you the space to pause, reset, and intentionally design your wellness path moving forward.

Grab a notebook, get comfortable, and press play. This is your reminder that clarity changes everything.
