0:00.0	Well, hey there. Welcome back. Today we're going to be talking about metabolic adaptation.
0:05.3	I'm going to explain what that is, what it looks like, and how you can get out of that,
0:10.9	how you can improve your metabolism. I often hear women saying, my metabolism is broke,
0:17.2	or my metabolism just doesn't work anymore. And the truth is, your metabolism is a champion.
0:24.2	It is amazing what your metabolism does. You're just not treating it like a champion.
0:29.5	And that is the problem. And I hear it all the time from just clients and people in general
0:35.4	thinking the problem is the metabolism. And the metabolism is just not keeping up. But we're
0:40.4	honestly just not treating the metabolism correctly and effectively to have it run like a champion.
0:47.0	So that's what we're going to get into today. I'm going to explain how that works. I'm going to
0:50.9	help you kind of be aware of some things that might be causing you issues. And then we're going
0:54.2	to work our way out of that. And before we start today, I do want to give a little shout out to
0:59.4	S. Barley 19. It's titled advocate. Andrea is so knowledgeable about health and fitness. By
1:04.8	listening to our podcast, I've learned to be an advocate for my health and wellbeing.
1:08.8	I was doing all the exercises and eating healthy, but I was not seeing and feeling changes
1:12.8	until I got my hormones checked and balanced. S. Barley 19. I am so happy for you. It makes me so
1:20.4	happy when we realize there is more to us feeling great than just exercising or even just our food.
1:28.2	We have to be aware of our hormones. When our hormones are at a balance,
1:32.2	we aren't going to feel great. So if you have a gut feeling, if you think something is off,
1:37.1	go get your hormones checked. I promise. A full blood panel on your hormones can be a game
1:42.1	changer. We have lots of our clients get their hormones checked and without fail when they're
1:46.7	just feeling off. There's a hormone off and it can be fixed. You don't have to feel bad. So
1:52.4	love that review. If you have an episode that you find helpful, any questions for me, anything
