Welcome back to the Fitness Stuff for Normal People podcasts. I'm Tony. And I'm Mariana.

And the fitness industry right now is just not what it could be. It's become something built on

unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation, directing attention away from what

actually matters. The bottom line is we're not just trying to provide just another fitness podcast. There

are enough of those, but completely changed the fitness industry for better by providing you

with the knowledge and tools to give you confidence in applying the best possible evidence-based

training and nutrition into your own life, where today we are doing a deep dive into your metabolism and the science behind it.

More specifically what it is and how it actually functions, talking about whether or not

there's any truth behind, quote unquote, is what I'm doing, boosting your metabolic rate,

breaking down any major components that make up your metabolism as a whole and talking about different diseases and disorders that can actually lower and slow your metabolism and to what degree you can actually expect these to do so.

That along with so much more.

And y'all know we got to plug it.

If you're listening to us on Spotify, hit that follow button.

So every single Monday,

we drop an episode. It pops right up so you don't miss a thing. And if you got a few extra

seconds, you can rate us a five star or you can leave us a five star review on whatever platform

you're listening. That's what makes me happy. And if you want more after each episode, you can join us on Fitness Stuff Premium for just $5 a month.

You get a bonus episode every single Friday where we answer your specific questions.

We do weekly bonus episodes every Friday and so much more like a monthly $300 Legion Athletics

giveaway, complete training programs like the 12-week push-pull leg program.

We dropped a few weeks back, exclusive discounts, and much more.
