Understanding Metabolism and its Complexity

Metabolism is a complex system that responds to various factors such as our environment, nutrition, genetics, stress, and training. This understanding contradicts the belief that our metabolism is fixed and unchangeable. Rather, it is adaptive and influenced by our lifestyle choices. The barometer for metabolism is stress and energy, particularly energy intake through food. While there is an emphasis on energy balance for weight and fat loss, it is important to recognize that building muscle and improving body composition goes beyond mere calorie burn. Muscle tissue affects our physiological state and messages sent within the body, impacting blood sugar regulation, glycemic control, and overall cardiometabolic health. Therefore, focusing solely on calorie burn or exercise activity may undermine the broader benefits of muscle building and metabolism regulation.
