Metabolism Components Explained
Metabolism isn't inherently fast or slow; it's about different components influencing calorie burn.
NEAT (non-exercise movement like fidgeting) impacts metabolism more than formal exercise does.

Boost Metabolism with NEAT
Track your NEAT levels and aim for at least 8,000 steps per day as a baseline.
Increase movement through simple changes like standing, walking after meals, and taking stairs.

Sleep's Huge Impact on Metabolism
Poor sleep lowers resting metabolic rate by up to 20%, making fat storage easier.
Sleep deprivation increases hunger and reduces energy for movement, sabotaging metabolism.

I'm pulling back the curtain on metabolism myths and sharing what really works for women navigating midlife changes. The truth is, your metabolism isn't simply "fast" or "slow" - it's a complex system where small adjustments can create meaningful change. Forget the trendy metabolism hacks that promise miracles! I'll reveal why prioritizing sleep might be more powerful than that cold plunge you've been suffering through, how fidgeting and everyday movement (yes, really!) outperforms your cardio session, and the one supplement that genuinely makes a difference for your metabolic health. These science-backed strategies have helped thousands of my clients reclaim their energy and transform their relationship with their body during perimenopause and beyond.
What you’ll learn:
Why the concept of "fast" versus "slow" metabolism is misleading and what actually drives your daily calorie burn
How NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) can burn up to 2000 calories daily - far more than traditional workouts
The surprising connection between sleep quality and metabolic health, especially during perimenopause
Why protein timing and quantity are non-negotiable for maintaining muscle mass and metabolism
The truth about "fat burner" supplements versus what actually works for metabolic support
Simple hydration strategies that prevent your body from storing fat
How resistance training creates metabolic changes that continue long after your workout ends
