09:34 – Wrap-Up & Outro

Top Takeaways: Type 2 Diabetes is often reversible with lifestyle changes alone. Post-meal walking is one of the most underrated blood sugar hacks. Eat your veggies first, then protein, then carbs to flatten glucose spikes. Berberine is a potent, natural supplement—just take it with meals. Metformin & GLP-1 drugs have a place, but aren’t the first line of defense. Muscle is your metabolic engine—resistance training increases glucose storage. Affordable nutrition is possible: frozen veggies + bulk ground beef = win.

Summary: In this episode, Coach Kyle sits down with Adam, the founder of ZAAG supplements, to talk all things allostatic load, burnout, and performance optimization. They unpack how chronic stress affects the body's ability to recover, how nutrient absorption is impaired under pressure, and the crucial difference between doing everything right and doing what your body actually needs.

Adam shares insights into the foggy state of burnout, describing it as “running a high-performance system in low battery mode.” He also walks through why digestion and nutrient uptake are disrupted when the body is overwhelmed, and how that challenges the notion that a "food first" approach is always sufficient.

They discuss HRV (Heart Rate Variability) patterns as a reliable indicator of how ready your body is to perform and why consistency in those metrics often matters more than a single high number. Kyle opens up about his own experience with burnout, tied to mercury poisoning, and how removing that burden helped him start to recover.

• Burnout isn’t just mental: It physically affects nutrient absorption, hormone balance, and cognitive clarity.
• Food-first isn’t always enough: Especially if the body’s stress systems are suppressing digestion and absorption.
• HRV matters—but patterns matter more: Watch for variability in your variability, not just a single-day score.
• Stress management is multifactorial: Nutrients, habits, and mental reset tools all contribute.
• Supplements like ZAAG can help reduce allostatic load and improve recovery without relying solely on stimulants.
• Simple is powerful: Choose one habit to change, stabilize it, then stack the next one.

• Learn more about Adam’s supplement ZAAG
• Research on Allostasis & Allostatic Load
• HRV Tools: WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, etc.
