TOUT COMPRENDRE sur ton énergie pour la décupler

Many people who complain of fatigue don't actually have a discipline problem; they have an energy problem. This distinction can fundamentally change the quality of every decision you make. If you’ve ever experienced a mid-afternoon slump or felt your brain operating in slow motion during a meeting, this video is for you. The speaker shares a personal anecdote from a few months prior. It was a typical day filled with back-to-back calls, meetings, and a quick lunch between appointments. Around 3:30 PM, while reviewing a candidate's file for a crucial hire, the speaker found themselves rereading the same sentence repeatedly. The sentence wasn't complex, but their brain was simply not functioning optimally. Despite this, the decision was made to sign the contract. Weeks later, the speaker realized they had missed something obvious that they would have easily caught earlier in the day. For a long time, the speaker believed this was a motivation or mental issue, a lack of discipline or focus. However, it turned out to be a metabolic problem. The human brain, weighing about 1.4 kg, accounts for less than 2% of total body weight but consumes 20% of daily energy, making it the most energy-demanding organ. Crucially, the brain doesn't run on willpower; it runs on fuel—what you eat, when you eat it, and in what order. The quick lunch consumed earlier had triggered a specific metabolic response, one that was uncontrolled and negatively impacted the rest of the speaker's day. This led to a conversation with nutritionist Anthony Berto, a former member of the French triathlon team and an expert in nutrition. Berto explained that consuming too many foods that trigger a significant insulin response leads to hyperglycemia (a spike in blood sugar), followed by reactive hypoglycemia. This results in a drop in vigilance and performance, both physical and intellectual, and causes the brain to crave sugar. Therefore, the speaker's daily 3:30 PM energy crash wasn't due to a lack of motivation or discipline, but rather poor food choices made at lunch. The meal itself was dictating their decisions. To understand this, three key physiological mechanisms are explained. Imagine two meals, both around 600 calories. Meal one consists of proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Meal two is a white bread sandwich with orange juice and biscuits. While calorically similar, these meals trigger vastly different responses in the body. Meal one leads to a stable blood sugar level, providing the brain with consistent energy for 3-4 hours. Meal two, however, causes a rapid spike in blood sugar, a surge of insulin, and then a sharp drop. This drop is precisely what is felt as the afternoon slump. Anthony Berto highlights that a typical breakfast of white bread with jam, orange juice, or processed cereals, puffed rice cakes, or rusks are highly insulinogenic foods. This isn't about restrictive diets; it's about understanding the body's mechanics. The body reacts to what it's given, and the question is whether you are controlling these mechanics or if they are controlling you. Counterintuitively, when you feel that afternoon slump, the instinct is to grab a coffee or a sugary snack to "restart" the engine. Biologically, this is the worst possible action. It causes another blood sugar spike and subsequent crash, trapping you in a vicious cycle. This phenomenon is linked to chronic insulin secretion, and modern lifestyles are often designed to perpetuate this cycle. Despite scientific advancements, our bodies still operate on an evolutionary blueprint designed for an environment that no longer exists. Our ancestors lived in a vastly different world, and the rapid changes in our modern environment have created an "evolutionary mismatch." This mismatch is a significant factor in the rise of modern diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, chronic inflammatory conditions, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Our bodies are programmed for an environment that is now obsolete. The chronic fatigue experienced is a direct consequence of this mismatch between our biological programming and our current lifestyle. This metabolic fatigue doesn't just affect our physical well-being; it contaminates other aspects of our lives. A brain experiencing a blood sugar crash makes short-sighted decisions, avoids complexity, seeks immediate gratification, becomes more irritable, less creative, and struggles to handle uncertainty. This energy-deprived, stressed brain encourages quick eating, easy choices, and skipping exercise due to lack of energy. This perpetuates the vicious cycle, worsening the next day's blood sugar crash and so on. It's not a willpower issue; it's a system working against you. The good news is that this system can be reversed. When it becomes virtuous, it becomes unstoppable, with rapid and spectacular results. Anthony Berto's approach focuses on optimizing meal structure, which directly impacts brain function and can transform your days. By structuring meals correctly, you can optimize dopamine secretion in the first part of the day. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, alertness, enthusiasm, and creativity—essential for morning activity. Essentially, you can directly influence your brain chemistry through what and when you eat. The goal is not to achieve a sugar spike but to maintain a stable energy trajectory. This understanding is the foundation of a broader system called "Performance Intégrale." Energy is fundamental, but optimizing nutrition without addressing sleep halves the benefits. Similarly, improving energy and sleep without understanding how attention functions under pressure limits potential. For these changes to last, they must become daily habits. This is systemic performance: a complete system, not isolated optimizations. The program "Performance Intégrale" was developed with experts like Anthony Berto, who brings his firsthand experience of overcoming severe physical challenges. The program includes 18 modules, 40 videos, and input from 19 experts, supported by over 380 scientific references. It's a collaboration with decks Business School, leading to a certification. Importantly, it's not a motivational or typical personal development course; it's a science-based protocol designed for real-life integration. Performance Intégrale is about maintaining the ability to act when stakes are high, not just achieving temporary peaks. Anthony Berto covers physiology and nutrition, while other experts include neuroscientist Jean-Philippe Lachot on attention, Anaë Malerbe on performance and stress, former French basketball captain Boris Diaw on emotional intelligence, and Bertrand Monet on stress management in extreme environments. These individuals, masters in their fields, have been brought together to teach this comprehensive system.
