Ep. 92 Unlocking the Secrets of a Healthy Metabolism

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the metabolism—what it really means, how it works, and the biggest misconceptions around boosting it. Metabolism is often treated as a buzzword, but it’s actually a complex system involving multiple bodily functions, including energy conversion, tissue repair, hormone regulation, and more.

We explore 10 key ways to support a thriving metabolism, covering topics like:

  • Strength training & movement – Why building muscle and increasing daily activity (NEAT) is more effective than excessive cardio.
  • Protein intake & meal timing – The role of protein in muscle preservation and thermogenesis, plus why skipping meals may work against you.
  • Hydration & liver health – How drinking enough water and detoxifying the liver can impact your metabolic function.
  • Gut health & stress management – The gut’s direct influence on metabolism and why chronic stress can slow things down.
  • Thyroid function & nutrient absorption – Supporting thyroid health with key nutrients and avoiding common disruptors.

If the science of metabolism feels overwhelming, don’t worry—we also break it down into simple, actionable basics you can start implementing today. Whether you're just getting started with foundational habits or looking to optimize higher-level metabolic function, this episode provides both education and strategy.
