Oli Patrick: Why You’re Still Tired – Even When Your Health Data Says You’re Fine

In this episode of the Men’s Health Built for Life podcast, Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey are joined by physiologist and human-performance expert Oli Patrick to explore what really drives our energy – and why so many of us feel permanently exhausted.

Oli explains why sleep trackers and health data can sometimes create more anxiety than clarity, why we’re too quick to chase supplements and biohacks before fixing the basics, and why energy may be a more useful measure of wellbeing than any single biomarker.

The three discuss sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, recovery and the danger of ‘majoring in the minors’, before breaking down the foundational behaviours that can help us feel and perform better. 

Oli also reveals why you should go to bed with a ‘clean mental inbox’, why there is rarely one magic fix, and the simple lesson he would airdrop into everyone’s brain: be kind to yourself.
