Exhausted? Energy Hacks That Actually Help (According to Science)
The Liz Moody Podcast
Real Micro-Recovery Breaks
Liz details restorative breaks: avoid screens, look far away, and walk outside to reset attention.
If all you want to do by 3 PM is nap... this one’s for you. I share 5 powerful, science-backed hacks I personally use to feel more energized and clear-headed, fast. You won’t hear “get more sleep” or “cut sugar”. These are unique, practical tools you can use today.
I’ll walk you through everything from how your brain’s ultradian rhythm impacts focus and fatigue, to the truth about why most of us don’t get impactful rest during our breaks (and how to fix it). You’ll learn how to close mental loops draining your energy, why peppermint tea works better than a third cup of coffee, and how a simple dose of sunlight can recharge your battery, resetting your entire day.
🎧What you’ll learn:
- The 90-minute brain rhythm that boosts productivity and prevents burnout
- How to get the quickest re-charge during a break
- Why unfinished tasks drain your brain—and how to shut the loop
- My favorite natural energy drink
- The light hack I swear by to feel more awake, focused, and stable
✨Homework: Schedule in one, 10-minute break to step outside or look far into the distance, and take 2 minutes of this time to exhale longer than you inhale (no phone, no scrolling, no multitasking). Notice how you feel after.
