Metabolism myths: Understanding metabolic adaptation and energy balance
Tired of hearing you've "damaged your metabolism" or need to "kickstart your metabolism again"? In this episode, we break down the science behind metabolic adaptation, explain why your metabolism isn't actually "broken," and reveal what truly drives energy balance.
We'll explore why metabolic damage is not always to blame (and absolutely not permanent, being entirely reversible), how your body adapts to different caloric intakes, how metabolic rate changes as we age and practical strategies to optimise your nutrition without falling for quick-fix metabolism myths - goodbye lemon water and expensive supplementation.
Whether you're looking to lose fat, gain muscle, or simply understand better how your body works, this evidence-based conversation will transform how you approach food and fitness for life.
