73. Is Your Gut Behind Your 3 PM Energy Crash?

November 04, 2026

That familiar afternoon slump can leave you reaching for another coffee, something sweet, or whatever snack might get you through the rest of the day. But what if the answer starts with how you’ve been fueling your body since morning?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Sht*, Lisa explores three everyday habits that can influence your energy: eating a satisfying breakfast, staying hydrated, and making lunch a meal that actually sustains you. She explains why relying on quick fixes can leave you stuck in the same afternoon routine.

Lisa also shares her approach to meal timing, protein, carbohydrates, and digestive health. From what goes into your morning coffee to the importance of eating enough during the day, she encourages listeners to make simple, intentional changes that work with their bodies.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

  • Why the afternoon energy crash happens.
  • How breakfast choices influence your energy.
  • The importance of drinking enough water.
  • Why a substantial lunch can make a difference.
  • How digestion and daily food habits affect how you feel.
