Well, hey there, it's definitely been a minute since we've talked, and I'm really excited about

today's episode, because if you have ever said to yourself, my metabolism is just broken. My

metabolism just doesn't work. I'm going to stop you right there, because today we're going to talk

about all of the core factors that actually affect your metabolism. I know it's really easy to feel stuck and
