I hear from guys ALL THE TIME that they're lacking energy, have low motivation, low sex drive and are constantly overeating... and I let them know:
This is common but NOT NORMAL.
While it's not your fault, it IS your responsibility to take action moving forward.
Because every year that goes by will make things even harder to change and your life will become a series of starts and stops into old age, rather than a smooth progression into your prime.
