About this episode

This episode debunks myths about metabolism and emphasizes the importance of lifestyle, diet, and training for weight management.

Have You Said or Felt Like Your Metabolism Was Broken? Let's bust some myths around this phrase. This episode debunks common myths about metabolism, hormones, and weight loss, emphasizing that most issues are fixable through proper lifestyle, diet, and training. They chat about what metabolism is and what the term means biologically, what contributes to how "fast or slow" it is, and why we prefer the term ADAPTIVE when talking about this term. Coach Justin and Coach Amanda explore how body adaptation, hormonal health, and behavior influence weight management more than the usual assumptions. Our bodies are made to respond to the inputs and habits that we give it day and in and day out. It responds appropriately to the right signals. This is why consistency in good habits, training, and nutrition always win out for overall health. Is there sometimes more going on? For sure. But most people are surprised how much of a difference good choices make when you're consistent over months or years. Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!
