Discover how your nervous system plays a pivotal role in fat loss. Fidgeting and shivering can actually boost fat metabolism by triggering adrenaline. Learn about the benefits of cold exposure and the science behind incorporating it into your routine. Explore the impact of exercise intensity on fat oxidation, and why fasted workouts could be a game changer. Additions like mate, GLP-1 drugs, and berberine can support weight loss too. This isn't just about calories; it's about enhancing your whole metabolic process!
