Summary

Ever caught yourself saying, “I just have a slow metabolism,” or “My metabolism broke after I turned 30”? You’re not alone, but the truth is, your metabolism isn’t some mysterious force working against you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what your metabolism is, what it does in your body, and how your daily habits either fuel it or slow it down. By the end, you’ll finally understand how to support your metabolism so you can feel energized, strong, and in control.

We’re getting into:

  • What your metabolism actually is (without the science-y jargon)

  • The four main ways your body burns energy every single day

  • The two big mistakes women make that slow metabolism down (and how to fix them)

  • Sneaky habits like poor sleep, skipping protein, and stress that hurt your progress

  • The truth about metabolism and aging — and why lifestyle matters more than birthdays

  • The best habits you can start today to keep your metabolism fueled and firing

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, stuck, or confused about your metabolism, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
