Summary
Yes! You can heal your metabolism! In today's episode we're talking about exactly how you can begin. Maybe you feel like you've always had a sluggish metabolism, maybe you're recognizing that you've done some metabolic damage with your yo-yo dieting past, perhaps you're noticing some changes as you get older or you just want to be proactive. No matter what you're reasons, your metabolism is not set in stone. There is so much you can do to heal your metabolism and make it more efficient!
Unfortunately, most people go about it the wrong way and inadvertently do more damage. Most people figure they can speed up their metabolism by exercising more. That's analogous to thinking you can make a car with a busted engine go faster if you just slam on the accelerator harder.
No. That'll make it worse.
You have to fix it. You have to address the problem, not try to over-power it.
The same is true with your metabolism. We can't just eat less, exercise more and expect our metabolism to respond favorably. It won't.
Let's dive into what your metabolism is, why it might need to be healed and specific diet & lifestyle strategies you can put into place today to help you heal your metabolism, increase energy and burn fat more efficiently.

| 0:24.6 | Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. |
| 0:28.4 | I am Elizabeth Benton. Thanks so much for hanging out with me today. |
| 0:32.4 | We are going to dive right into today's topic and it's all about how to heal your metabolism. |
| 0:42.0 | I know there are a lot of us, myself included, that feel like we just naturally have a slower |
| 0:47.3 | metabolism than most people or maybe we don't but we just would love it to be faster or we feel like |
| 0:53.1 | we've done our fair share of metabolic damage with all of our yo-yo dieting. I know I fall into |
| 0:58.0 | that camp too or maybe you're getting older and you've noticed that it's harder to either |

| 1:39.0 | or stop doing to ensure that you see improvements. Now, unfortunately most people come at this from |
| 1:48.1 | the perspective of oh well if I want to increase my metabolism then I'll just exercise more. No, |
| 1:54.7 | no. That's like thinking you can make a car with a busted engine go faster if you just slam on |
| 2:01.5 | the accelerator harder. No, you have to fix the busted engine. Fix it. Same thing with your |
| 2:09.6 | metabolism. Don't stress it more intensely by exercising more and adding more stress and |
