You’re Not Broken. Your Metabolism Is Using the Wrong Fuel.

You’re Not Broken. Your Metabolism Is Using the Wrong Fuel.

Season 2, Episode 1 – How to Take Care of Yourself Podcast

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… and your body just stopped responding?

You’re eating the “balanced” meals. You’re forcing the fiber. You’re trying to moderate. You’re showing up at the gym even when you’re exhausted.

And instead of feeling better…you feel heavier, more inflamed, more stuck.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually happening when your metabolism goes quiet, why the standard advice isn’t working for everyone, and what it looks like to finally get your body back on your side.

We’re talking about food addiction, insulin, inflammation, and why for some people… moderation isn’t the answer.

This one is honest. And for the right person, it’s going to hit.
