Metabolism 101 - How It Works

When we know better we can do better    We all talk about
metabolism, usually in the context of how ours sucks and how it's
the reason we can't lose weight.  But do you REALLY know how
your metabolism works? What influences it? How you can change it?
  This episode is the 20,000 foot view of your metabolism and
how it works.  The truth is, it's a VERY intricate and
sensitive system and is EXTREMELY personal and I couldn't possibly
cover it all in a 30 minute episode.  The basic operating
system is the same for all of us, but exactly how yours is working
is completely individual to YOU. That's a big reason why "one size
fits all" diets usually end in failure.     
Unfortunately, we've received terrible advice over the years about
diet and exercise and most of us have a metabolism that's "broken"
or at least not functioning optimally because of it.  Add to
that the complication that your metabolism is constantly changing
as new stressors are placed on it, AND as you age and your hormones
change which directly affects your metabolism, and we have a recipe
for total frustration.     I'm going to clear up some of
the confusion and give you some super simple things you can do
right now to increase your awareness of things that may be
negatively affecting your metabolism and some tips for how to
repair it.  Just know that like any lasting change, fixing a
broken metabolism takes time, patience, diligence and a willingness
to learn and adjust.     We go much more in depth into
the metabolism in the Healthy Mind/Healthy Body Program.

Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program & Membership! Ditch the
Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food If you struggle with yo-yo
dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting
change.  Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that
being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and
when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem,
destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a
guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.  
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging
you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting
progress.   That’s why I created the Healthy Mind,
Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting
transformation in your Mind AND Body.      ACCEPTING
