Most people think their hormones or metabolism are “broken"
But most of the time it’s not a discipline problem — it’s a physiology problem.
In this Ask Me Anything episode of The Metabolic Edit, I’m answering three of the most common questions I hear every week from clients:
• Which testosterone supplements actually work?
• Why don’t I sweat — even in the sauna or workouts?
• Why does fasting make me binge instead of lean out?
And instead of trendy hacks or expensive stacks, we’re breaking down what actually moves the needle — based on real physiology, clinical experience, and what I see work inside labs and coaching every single day.
In this episode, I break down:
• What really increases testosterone naturally (and which “test boosters” are mostly hype)
• The key minerals and nutrients that quietly tank hormones when you’re deficient
• Why not sweating can signal nervous system stress, mineral depletion, or low metabolic output
• The hidden reason fasting backfires for so many people
• How to use time-restricted eating without triggering cravings or late-night binges
• Simple, practical fixes you can start this week
