Ep 74: Under-Fuelled, Overwhelmed & Misled - The Silent Nutrition Crisis Breaking Modern Humans
Friday, 28 November, 2025
In this episode Dean and Acos rip apart one of the biggest and most damaging myths in modern health and performance... The belief that people are overeating! Most high performers, tactical & hybrid athletes and everyday humans are actually chronically under fuelled because modern life has created the perfect storm of: The Under-Eating Paradox Stress, caffeine intake, dopamine addiction, poor sleep and chaotic schedules blunting hunger signals, suppressing appetite and literally tricking people into believing they "don't need much food" The Death of Satiety Hyper-processed food, poor meal structure, speed eating culture, digital overstimulation and disrupted gut–brain signalling have destroyed our ability to feel full, satisfied and substantially fuelled Nutrition Fatigue People don't fail because of willpower. They fail because the decision load of modern life has become unbearable. Too much choice. Too much noise. Zero routine. No defaults. No system. This episode is a deep dive into the physiology, the behavioural psychology and the social realities behind why modern humans struggle with nutrition and why it has doesn't have as much to do with fads, trends or dietary tribes as many think. You'll learn: Why "not feeling hungry in the morning" is a red flag How stress and caffeine quietly shut down appetite Why everyday athletes under-eat more than sedentary people How hyper-palatable food hijacks reward circuitry Why satiety signals lag behind eating speed How decision fatigue destroys consistency The real reason you snack at night Why structure beats motivation in every environment And what a reliable, athlete-ready nutrition system actually looks like This is not another surface-level nutrition chat. This is proper, evidence-based human performance coaching. If you train hard, think you're eating "enough" or feel like you underperform despite putting the work in this episode is about to give you answers you won't hear anywhere else.
