Why You’re Not Tired—You’re Malfunctioning (And It’s Probably Your Metabolism)

Mama, it might not be you...it might be your metabolism.

Let’s just go ahead and say it:

You're not tired.

You're metabolically hijacked.

Sure, you’ve got kids, work, carpool, and the emotional load of remembering everyone's dentist appointments.

But if you're dragging through your day despite 3 cups of coffee and a protein bar, something deeper is going on.

And I know the feeling—because I’ve lived it.

As a nurse, I used to tell people to get more sleep, take their vitamins, maybe try some yoga.

But as a mom, I know now that none of that works if your metabolism is shot to hell.

The Real Culprit? Insulin Resistance.

Insulin isn’t just about diabetes. It’s your body's traffic cop for energy. If insulin’s not doing its job, your cells can't access fuel.

And what do you feel?

➡️ Brain fog

➡️ Crushing fatigue

➡️ Weight gain, especially around the belly

➡️ Afternoon crashes that make you want to nap in the bathroom stall at work

We’ve been told to eat 6 small meals a day, snack constantly, and avoid fat like it’s Satan himself.

But guess what?

That advice created the metabolic mess we’re now living in.

The Fix? It’s Actually Pretty Simple.

And no—it’s not another restrictive diet.

This is about aligning with how the body was actually designed to function.

Here’s the protocol that’s changed my life (and my jeans size):

💥 Intermittent fasting (12–16 hours/day)

💥 Protein-forward meals that don’t fear fat

💥 Fiber first—veggies before the carbs

💥 No snacking—because your body needs time to actually process fuel

💥 Ditching seed oils, processed foods, and that “diet culture” noise

This is backed by science. I’m talkin’:

• Dr. Bikman’s truth bombs on insulin

• Dr. Jason Fung’s wisdom from The Obesity Code

• David Ludwig’s brilliance in Always Hungry

• And yes, Dr. Lustig breaking it all down in Metabolical

This is the work of moms who are DONE being tired.

We’re not broken—we’ve been misinformed.

Faith Check: Your Body Is a Temple, Not a Trash Can.

God didn’t make you to run on caffeine, crackers, and cortisol.

It’s time to honor your temple by feeding it fuel that actually gives you life—not just survival.

What Happens When You Start the Protocol?

You stop crashing.

You start glowing.

You gain mental clarity, lose belly bloat, and get back time you didn’t even know you were losing.

And suddenly, that dream of working from home, starting a side hustle, or just keeping up with laundry doesn’t feel so far-fetched.
