In this episode of the Berman Method Podcast, Dr. Jake and Jenni Berman tackle a common but overlooked issue: afternoon crashes and the need for naps. As part of their “arrive at 80 feeling 40” series, they explain why feeling exhausted during the day isn’t normal—even if you’ve been a lifelong napper.
They break down the real root causes behind low energy, including vitamin deficiencies, unstable blood sugar, cortisol imbalances, and simply not eating enough fuel—especially protein. What feels like a harmless afternoon slump is often your body signaling that something deeper is off.
If you’re relying on caffeine, naps, or sugar to get through the day, this episode helps you understand why—and what to do about it. From optimizing nutrient levels to using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), they share practical ways to stabilize energy and feel consistent throughout the day.
