Metabolism can be a nebulous topic.
Most people know that their metabolism is intertwined with their health, but people’s metabolisms aren’t just “fast” or “slow.” They’re adaptive systems that depend on a multitude of variables, including environment, nutrition, genetics, stress, training, past experience, and more.
To help make sense of it all and offer practical ways to apply our understanding, I interview Sam Miller in this podcast.
In case you’re not familiar with Sam, he’s an Amazon best-selling author with over 15 years of experience as a health, fitness, and nutrition coach, helping coaches and health professionals improve their clients’ results.
As an educator, podcaster, certified nutritionist, and licensed, board-certified health practitioner, he shares simple, strategic methods for physique and health transformation.
And because he recently penned a book called, Metabolism Made Simple, he’s the perfect guest for today’s topic.
In our metabolic deep dive, Sam and I discuss . . .
- The crucial relationship between metabolism and overall health
- The influence of genetics and past experiences on our current metabolic health
- The significance of non-exercise activity (NEAT) and strategies to boost metabolism
- The role of mindset, realistic expectations, and consistency in improving metabolic health
- Why being in a calorie deficit should be viewed as a phase rather than a lifestyle
- How to incorporate biofeedback into your lifestyle for better dieting outcomes
- The importance of micronutrients and their impact on metabolism
- And more...
So, if you're looking for effective strategies to adjust your lifestyle and help you enhance your metabolic health more efficiently, be sure to listen to this interview with Sam Miller!
