Why You Still Feel Like Sh*t (Even Though You "Eat Clean")

Why You Still Feel Like Sh*t (Even If You Eat Clean, Meditate, and Take All the Supplements)

Let’s be honest.

You’re doing the things.
You’ve cleaned up your diet. You meditate when you can. You buy organic. You’re trying.
But deep down, your body still feels like trash most days.

You're foggy. You’re bloated. Your energy crashes halfway through the afternoon.
Libido? Low. Sleep? Restless. Mood? All over the place.
And despite all the health content you consume, you still feel like something's off.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken.
But you’re not operating from your original settings either.


The Myth of “Clean Living”

We’ve been sold the idea that wellness is just about food and fitness.
As long as you drink green juice, take a few supplements, and hit a cold plunge once in a while, you’re supposed to be thriving.

But guess what?

You can do all of that and still be inflamed, exhausted, anxious, and hormonally wrecked.

That’s because most modern “wellness” is a performance—not a reclamation.
It focuses on surface rituals, not deep biological truth.

And here's the real kicker:
A lot of what you're doing might be working against your body instead of with it.


You’ve Been Disconnected From Your Primal Design

You are not a machine. You’re not meant to operate in boxes, on screens, and under fluorescent lights.
You are an organic, electrical, breath-driven, nature-born being.

And until you return to that blueprint, you will continue to feel like sh*t—no matter how clean your diet is.

What most people call “health” is just a more polite form of chronic dysfunction.
They’ve learned to manage symptoms instead of reclaiming their sovereign biology.

Here’s what I’ve seen over 30 years working with thousands of people, from war vets to high performers to everyday men and women who are done being lied to:

  • Most people are chronically inflamed and don’t know it.

  • Their nervous systems are dysregulated—locked in fight, flight, or freeze.

  • Their detox pathways are backed up and burdened by decades of toxicity.

  • And their hormones are bottomed out—especially testosterone and DHEA in men.

They’re not just tired.
They’re spiritually and biologically jammed.


The Real Work: Rebooting the Nervous System and Detoxing the Body

You want to feel amazing again? Sexy? Clear-headed? Powerful?

Then stop chasing hacks—and start reclaiming your system at the root level.

That means:

1. Full-Spectrum Detoxification
This includes clearing parasites, heavy metals, environmental toxins, plastics, synthetic estrogens, and emotional residues trapped in tissue. You can’t build a thriving body on a toxic foundation. Detox isn't optional. It’s the gateway.

2. Nervous System Regulation
Most people are stuck in a chronic stress response. Until you downshift from sympathetic overdrive, your digestion won’t work. Your sleep will suck. Your hormones won’t rebalance. That’s why I teach breathwork, grounding, sunlight, and nervous system restoration as non-negotiables.

3. Deep Rewilding
This isn’t about living in the woods. It’s about reintroducing real nature into your biology: unfiltered sunlight, cold exposure, bare feet on the ground, primal movement, tribal energy, and food that actually came from the Earth—not a lab.

4. Hormonal Reclamation
Energy, sex drive, motivation, clarity—it all ties to hormonal flow. Testosterone. DHEA. Growth hormone. Melatonin. We don’t just wake this up with supplements—we do it by removing the static and resetting the internal rhythm.


Why You’re Still Stuck (Even If You’re “Doing Everything Right”)

Because most of what you’ve been taught about health is wrong.

You’ve been taught to fear bacteria, fear sun, fear fat, fear salt, fear meat, fear your own body.
You’ve been trained to believe health comes in a bottle or a pill.

The truth?
You’ve been domesticated.
Your fire has been dulled.

That ends when you decide to stop performing wellness—and start embodying it.


What’s Coming: The Primal Vitality Assessment

Right now, you might be wondering—
Where do I even begin?

I’m building something for that. It’s called the Primal Vitality Assessment.
It’s a 2-minute scan designed to help you identify exactly what's draining your energy and keeping you stuck—and how to get your edge back fast.

You’ll get a custom Vitality Report built from decades of detox and nervous system mastery.
No fluff. No B.S. Just the truth you need to hear.

It’s launching soon. Want early access?

Get notified the moment it drops—and be the first to reclaim your fire.


Final Word: Get Ruthless or Stay Stuck

This blog isn’t here to make you feel better.
It’s here to wake you up.

If you’ve had enough of low energy, bloat, brain fog, and feeling like something’s just off—
good.
Use that frustration.

Reclaim your biology. Reclaim your breath. Reclaim your fire.

You’re not here to survive.
You’re here to lead.

And it starts by getting real.
