2824: Why Skipping Meals Is Hurting Your Metabolism

Most people think eating less is the answer.

Skip meals.
Try fasting.
Cut calories.

But what if that's exactly what's holding you back?

In this episode, we break down why fasting isn't the fat loss hack people think it is—and how it may actually be slowing your metabolism, hurting your hormones, and sabotaging your muscle growth.

We also dive into:
• Why being "too lean" can make you look worse
• The real role of protein and meal timing
• How blood sugar and insulin sensitivity actually work
• The truth about GLP-1 drugs and metabolic health
• Why consistency beats restriction every time

If you've ever felt stuck, low energy, or like your body isn't responding… this episode will change how you approach fitness forever.
