Ep. 197 How to Signal to Your Metabolism to Speed Up Or Slow Down

Trying to lose fat with a slow metabolism is just a waste of time...

Let me explain.

Your metabolism can be changed. Genetics play a role, but not as much as people think.

“Weight struggles run in my family”

73.6% of American adults aged 20 and older are considered overweight or obese, with around 40.3% classified as obese.

Only about 100 years ago, only 3-5% of Americans were overweight. Obesity was extremely rare then. Our genetics as a species didn’t suddenly change causing everyone to feel like “weight struggles just run in my family”... our environment did.

Obesity wasn’t prevalent until hyper-palatable ultra-processed foods became the norm.

There are things you can do to make your metabolism faster or slower. A fast metabolism means that your body simply requires more energy to function. Having a faster metabolism is a good thing regardless of your goals because in the modern day world it is good to have more of a buffer.

In today's episode, we're going to discuss not only how to speed up your metabolism but share exactly why your metabolism might be slowed down. We'll also talk about how semaglutide (GLP-1's) like Ozempic are contributing to a slower metabolism once individuals get off of it.
