Tony Scullion Energy Recode Helping business leaders over 40 get leaner, sharper, and calmer. Most of the men I work with are over 40 and run hard. From the outside they look successful.

I close the capacity leaks draining your body, brain, and business, starting with the weight that will not move and the energy that fades by mid-afternoon. Inside they are running too hot. The weight will not move, energy dips by mid-afternoon, sleep is broken, and the calendar owns the day. You have discipline. That is not the issue. If discipline was the answer, you would have fixed this already. The problem is sequencing. Fix the order and your effort finally holds. I have spent over 27 years coaching 865+ leaders, including presidents, managing partners, and senior leaders from SpaceX, Salesforce, EY, and NYSE-listed firms. The average client loses 23 pounds in the first 90 days while getting energy and focus back. One company president lost 12 pounds after a near 10-year plateau and grew his revenue 18 percent in six months, once his biology, calendar, and communication started working together. The work runs in three phases. First the Energy Recode, where we steady sleep, blood sugar, and stress so your body stops fighting you. Then the Time and Energy OS, where we rebuild your week around your real demands. Then the Weaponized Health Roadmap, where we make the new foundations built hold under travel and pressure so you own the system without me. You will be Leaner. Sharper. Calmer. With a personal health and energy system that holds under pressure. If the approaches that used to work for you have stopped working, take the free Energy Audit to find which pattern is currently keeping you stuck.

If you are a man over 40 who struggles with low afternoon energy this video is for you⬇️

I hope it helps😎

More exercise is not always the answer for men over 40.

Many experienced professionals increase their cardio, train more often and push harder... yet still feel as though their body composition is moving in the wrong direction.

The issue is not always effort.

It can be the order in which nutrition, strength training and recovery are being approached.

I have coached more than 865 clients, including men from companies such as Salesforce, SpaceX and EY.

In this video, I break down three common mistakes that can limit progress:

The goal is not to do more.

It is to organize training, nutrition and recovery so each one supports the others.

Watch the video to learn three practical adjustments men over 40 can use to build a more structured approach to performance and body composition.

The 2–3pm energy crash often starts long before 2pm. It can begin with breakfast.

More than 865 leaders running businesses and teams have come through my coaching, and afternoon energy is often one of the first areas we address.

Because important calls, difficult decisions and leadership responsibilities do not stop at lunchtime.

In this video, I break down three practical steps for supporting more consistent energy throughout the working day...without relying on another coffee or completely changing your diet.

Comment **FUEL** or message me directly and I’ll send you the free **Decision-Free Fuel Plan**.

It’s a simple seven-day nutrition structure that maps out breakfast, lunch and your main meal around busy schedules, business dinners and hotel stays.

No calorie counting. Just a clearer structure for choosing the right food at the right time.

If you’re over 40, training hard, leading a team, and trying to stay sharp…

Your sleep can’t be an afterthought.

I’m now able to train 7–8 hours a week because I’m recovering better.

My HRV has gone from averaging around 60 to nights in the 120s and 140s.

No steroids.
No peptides.
Just better recovery habits and natural support.

Yes, supplements can help.

But the bigger lever?

Your nighttime routine.

Especially closing the “open loops” in your mind before bed.

About an hour before sleep, write down what’s on your mind:

The worries.
The decisions.
The unanswered questions.
The stuff you keep replaying.

Get it out of your head and onto paper.

Because if you don’t, your brain may try to deal with it at 3am.

This is part of the same high-performance sleep protocol that helped Lance double his testosterone in 90 days - from around 450 to 800.

Want the protocol?

Eating less was keeping Diego stuck.

He was 50.
Busy.
Training hard.
Trying to lose stubborn bodyfat.

So he did what most results-driven dads do.

Ate less.
Worked out more.
Changed the routine.
Tried again.

Still stuck.

He told me:

“No matter what I change - eat less, work out more, work out less - I’m still where I’m at.”

So we stopped pushing harder.

We increased his calories by 800 per day.

We cut his workouts from 1.5 hours to 35 focused minutes.

12 weeks later, Diego was down 15 pounds.

But the best part wasn’t the scale.

At 50 years old, he placed 2nd in the National Laser Sailing Championships.

His best before that?

15th.

That’s a massive jump.

And it didn’t come from starving himself or living in the gym.

It came from matching the plan to the life he was actually living.

High stress.
Packed calendar.
Big responsibilities.
A body that needed better inputs, not more punishment.

That’s where so many results-driven dads get it wrong.

They think fat loss means eating less and grinding harder.

But if your system is already stressed, that plan can keep you stuck.

Your body isn’t broken.

Your approach is.

If you’re eating less, training harder, and still not seeing it move, comment CORTISOL and I’ll send you the real reason this happens.

1652 Days ago I removed the conflict of Alcohol

Training hard all week then partying at the weekends

2 steps forward 1...sometimes 2 steps back 🙈

For me using alcohol to manage stress actually stopped me from managing stress

Because I never actually fixed the stress
I just redirected it

Whats the point in aiming to live a happy life

Working out hard to help improve your mental health
Then derailing progress by going partying

I’m 48 years old and I definitely wish I had stopped 10 years sooner

Its amazing how much your emotional intelligence and mental health improve when you remove it from your life.

So back to the question

Does Alcohol help you to destress?
Or Exercise?

What is your go to exercise type?

My WHOOP age is 41.9.

I'm 48.

That number didn't improve because I felt motivated this week.

It improved because I didn't panic when the data got noisy.

That's where most men in their 40s go wrong.

They wake up 2 lb heavier and cut calories.

They feel flat for one workout and add a rest day.

They miss a session and punish themselves with extra cardio.

One bad reading becomes a new plan.

That's not discipline.

That's guessing with a smartwatch.

This week, my body weight moved from 199.0 lb to 195.8 lb.

Average calories stayed around 2,273 kcal.

Protein stayed high at 208 g.

WHOOP age improved to 41.9 years.

Current pace of aging is -0.4x.

But the important part isn't the numbers.

It's what the numbers stopped me from doing.

I didn't slash calories.

I didn't add more cardio.

I didn't change training because recovery dipped for a day.

I didn't let one bad sleep score tell me the whole system was broken.

Because one reading is noise.

A trend is information.

Most people get stuck because they change the plan before the data has had enough time to tell the truth.

That's the difference between following a plan and managing a system.

A plan tells you what to do.

A system tells you what to change.

If you're in your 40s and you're still making health decisions from one weigh-in, one bad workout, or one rough night of sleep, start here:

Track the trend before you touch the plan.

If you want help building that kind of system, send me the word DATA and I'll show you where I'd start.

How far off the strength standards are you?

Tufts University research:

Men lose 1 to 2% of muscle strength every year after 35.

Over a decade, that is up to 20% gone.

A 2010 JAMA Neurology study found men with higher muscle strength had a 43% lower risk of Alzheimer's and a 48% lower risk of early cognitive decline.

Strength and brain health are directly connected.

Add chronic work stress and it accelerates the decline on both fronts.

Here are your reference points.

Men in their 20s and 30s, 3-rep max targets:

Bench press: 1.2 x bodyweight
Squat: 1.5 x bodyweight
Deadlift: 2.0 x bodyweight
Shoulder press: 0.8 x bodyweight

Men in their 40s and 50s:
Bench press: 1.0 x bodyweight
Squat: 1.25 x bodyweight
Deadlift: 1.75 x bodyweight
Shoulder press: 0.65 x bodyweight

I am 48. I weigh 185 pounds.

Zercher squat variation: 242 lbs.
That is 1.3 x bodyweight.

Decline bench press: 220 lbs.
That is 1.19 x bodyweight.

Last year I could not squat or bench at all.
Labrum tears in both hip and shoulder from martial arts.

Rebuilt to above standard in one year.

No TRT. No drugs. No surgery.

Training in the 8 to 12 rep range?

Estimate your 3-rep max here:

Multiply your working weight by:
1.20 for 8 reps
1.25 for 10 reps
1.30 for 12 reps

Where do you land?

If you hold yourself to a higher standard and want to improve your health and performance, I have free training here https://freetraining.peakperformanceexecutive.com/

The Hidden Hormone Crash Destroying Founders Over 40 📉

Most men in their forties assume the fatigue, the belly fat, and the brain fog is just age.

It is not age.

It is what happens when the same discipline that built your career starts working against your biology.

I have worked with 865 founders and senior leaders who were doing everything right and still declining.

The reason is almost always the same.

This video explains exactly why, and what to do first.

My gym was closed on Christmas Day.

It was icy outside.

I could have taken the day off.

Relaxed. Ate leftovers. Watched TV.

Instead, I decide to run 5 miles.

Mid-run, feet slipping, lungs burning, I realized something:

I've been playing defense for two years.

Personally, things have been rough.

I felt like life was happening to me.

Losing my younger brother unexpectedly.

My best friend taking his life.

The grief after effects

So I made a decision right there on the run.

I committed to signing up for a 21km Obstacle Course Race on Feb 28th 2026.

Here's the catch:

I have plantar fasciitis.

I have achilles tendonopathy.

I am 48 years old.

Logically, this is a bad idea.

But I'm not doing it because it's easy.

I'm doing it because waiting for "perfect" is a trap.

Most guys I work with are waiting too:

Waiting for the market to stabilize.

Waiting for their energy to come back.

Waiting for the right time to delegate.

Waiting for their body to feel "ready."

But here's the truth:

Perfect never shows up.

Conditions are never ideal.

In business or biology.

You don't wait for the market to be perfect to grow your company.

And I'm not waiting for my ankles to be perfect to push my limits.

I've completed the largest obstacle course in the world in a reasonable time

Even though I damaged ankle ligaments at the half way point.

I've climbed Mont Blanc largest mountain in the Alps

1 year after prolapsing several discs in my back.

I've beat the odds before

I can do it again

It just means my protocol has to be flawless to work around my issues:

Preparation: Specific warm-ups to load the tissues.

Ex*****on: Managing stride mechanics in real-time.

Recovery: Non-negotiable rehab work immediately after.

I can handle the pain.

What I can't handle is another year of "surviving."

This race is my signal to make 2026 an amazing year.

I'm done waiting.

I'm choosing offense.

And if you're a founder or President who's been stuck in survival mode…

Waiting for the right moment to fix your health, your energy, or your bandwidth…

This is your signal too.

2026 doesn't start January 1st.

It starts the moment you stop negotiating with your excuses.

Comment "OFFENSE" below and I'll send you:

✅ The exact 7-day stress-reset framework I used to drop 10lbs in 7 days

✅ A quick self-audit to check if systemic stress is your hidden block

✅ The Time & Money Leak Calculator (see what "busy" is actually costing you-most execs are bleeding $10k+/month in hidden costs)

No fluff. Just what works.

P.S. Tag someone who's been grinding hard but waiting for the "perfect moment" to take control. This might be the push they need.
