Most busy professionals believe their metabolism is “broken” or that fat loss becomes impossible after 30. But is that actually true?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Eric Trexler — researcher, coach, and expert in metabolic adaptation — to break down what really happens to your metabolism during fat loss, why plateaus occur, and what you can do both during and after a diet to sustain results.
We dive into the science of how your body conserves energy, adjusts hunger, and adapts to calorie deficits — and then translate that into clear, practical takeaways you can apply even with a busy lifestyle. Whether you’re training 3–4 hours a week, stuck at the same weight despite eating “poverty calories,” or worried about regaining after a diet, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.
Topics Covered:
Metabolic adaptation is real, but it’s not a roadblock.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to work with your body — not against it — and sustain results without wrecking your metabolism.
