If you've heard of metabolism, you've probably heard endless tips and tricks to boost it, from working out to drinking green tea. The idea is that a slow metabolism leads to weight gain, and speeding it up makes it easier to shed pounds. But what if we told you that metabolic rate doesn't really have anything to do with why so many of us in the developed world are heavy? This episode, nutrition scientist Kevin Hall and science journalist Julia Belluz join us to debunk metabolic myths, starting with what actually happened behind the scenes on the reality TV show The Biggest Loser. Can you really mess up your metabolism by gaining and losing weight, or reset it with morning tonics and exercise? Are those of us who weigh more than we want cursed with a slow metabolism, while those of us who seem to be able to eat whatever we want without gaining weight are just lucky to have a speedy one? And what do World War I explosives and Froot Loops have to do with figuring this all out? Listen in this episode, as we debunk some metabolism myths! Learn more about your ad choices.

What if you were doing everything right? Tracking your macros, lifting weights, eating clean and your body still felt inflamed, puffy, and broken?  That was Annie Kundis's reality. A former bodybuilder and competitive powerlifter turned mom and influencer, Annie spent over a decade following every fitness rule in the book only to watch her energy crash, her digestion spiral, and her confidence disappear. In this episode, Annie shares how DUTCH and GI-MAP testing completely changed her life after years of feeling dismissed by traditional doctors who told her to “just eat less and exercise more.” For the first time, real data revealed what was actually happening: low hormones, flipped cortisol, gut infections, and nutrient malabsorption. With that clarity, Annie finally had a roadmap for healing, not more restriction. She opens up about pressing pause on hard training, cutting caffeine, and learning to rest without guilt, plus the simple protocols that led to her first regular digestion in over a decade. We also dive into the emotional side: body dysmorphia, burnout, and rebuilding self-trust after years of fighting her body. Annie's story is raw, hopeful, and deeply relatable, showing that healing isn't about perfection, it's about understanding your body and giving it what it truly needs. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or unseen by the medical system, this episode will hit home. Tune in to hear how Annie went from survival mode to thriving and why she says today, “I don't feel sick anymore. I finally feel free.” Time Stamps: (3:22) Annie's Health Journey Before Vital Spark(9:37) Navigating Depression(12:52) GI Map and DUTCH Test Results(16:22) Learning To Slow Down(21:12) Trusting The Process(32:59) Where To Find Annie---------------------Follow Annie on Instagram: @ohannieruth Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode we speak with Kristin Grayce McGary (LAc., MAc., CFMP®, CST-T, CLP) and explore functional blood work—a deeper, more holistic way of interpreting lab results. Instead of just looking for illness, functional testing helps us understand where the body may be out of balance, often long before symptoms become serious. From nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances to hidden inflammation and stress markers, functional blood work can be a powerful tool for creating truly personalized health plans. Kristen Grayce is an internationally recognized health and lifestyle alchemist, author, and speaker. She weaves together 28 years of experience, education, wisdom, and compassion to empower you to reconnect, reawaken, and rejuvenate on all levels She is an authority on autoimmunity, functional blood chemistry analysis, thyroid and gut health, family healthcare, food as medicine, integrating mind/body/spirit in health & soulcare, and is initiated into several lineages of shamanic practices. In her alchemical practice of individualized health & soulcare, she has mastered dozens of modalities including acupuncture and Asian medicine, advanced craniosacral and somatoemotional release, neural and perineural therapy, homeopathy, functional healthcare, family constellation, medical Qi Gong, Psychosomatics, meditation, shamanic ceremony, and more. She is the author of Holistic Keto for Gut Health: A Program for Resetting your Metabolism and Know Your Blood, Know Your Health; Prevent Disease and Enjoy Vibrant Health Through Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis. Her upcoming book is on Blocks to Healing and how to resolve them quickly. Learning Points: What is functional bloodwork? How does functional bloodwork go beyond conventional testing?

“I can never get a good workout in… I don't have the time.”  I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again!  In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer.  Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep.  So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically.  For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL's unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health.  Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results! Ulrich Dempfle Ulrich Dempfle is the CEO and co-founder of CAROL Bike. He began his career as a mechanical engineer in Germany's automotive industry, but later became a healthcare system consultant and is now a fitness tech pioneer.  Ulrich's personal fitness transformation is proof of CAROL's power.

So it's a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don't do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.” “Based on the feedback we're receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Get $100 off your CAROL bike HERE with code: MARIZA https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE CAROL YouTube CAROL Instagram CAROL Facebook RELATED EPISODES  #546: How to Stay Lean, Energized and Strong By Working With Your Physiology, Not Against It with Dr. Stacy Sims #646: The Number One Exercise Hack I'm Doing Daily In Peri To Burn Fat, Build Lean Muscle and Boost Energy & Mental Clarity #552: The Midlife Muscle Crisis: Why Maintaining Muscle Is Necessary For Fat Loss, Strength and Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon 672: Unbreakable: How to Build a Body And Life That Defies the Rules of Aging with Dr. Vonda Wright

“Metabolism” refers to the thousands of chemical reactions required for our bodies to function. It is highly complex — and it's about so much more than simply being “fast” or “slow.” Although there is no single age when shifts in metabolism start to happen, the natural effects of aging do lead to changes that require us to consider different ways of supporting a healthy metabolism. Many people notice this swing in their 40s and 50s.    In this episode, Samantha McKinney, RD, CPT, explains the shifts in metabolism that can happen and why, as well as the ways we can support an optimal metabolism. There are steps you can take to make a difference no matter your age — whether you're starting in your 40s or 50s, or in the years before or after them.    Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/how-to-support-your-metabolism-in-your-40s-and-50s   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

Send us a textHow nutrition and medications impact mitochondrial health.Wide release date: October 1, 2025.Episode Summary: Dr. Chris Masterjohn talks about the intricate relationships between nutrition, prescription drugs, and mitochondrial health, discussing how molecules like acetaminophen and SSRIs affect the body beyond their intended purposes, particularly impacting inflammation and energy metabolism. The discussion gets into the broader implications of serotonin outside the brain, the side effects of commonly used medications, and the importance of personalized nutritional strategies to optimize mitochondrial function.About the guest: Chris Masterjohn, PhD holds a doctorate in nutritional sciences and is a co-founder of Mitome, a company focused on mitochondrial testing to optimize cellular energy production.Discussion Points:Acetaminophen & Inflammation: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may contribute to chronic low-grade inflammation by blocking both the initiation and resolution of inflammation, potentially linked to health issues like autism when used during pregnancy.Serotonin's Role Beyond the Brain: Approximately 95% of serotonin is found in the gut, regulating motility, with SSRIs causing side effects like nausea due to increased extracellular serotonin.SSRIs & Mitochondrial Function: SSRIs disrupt serotonin uptake into cells, reducing mitochondrial melatonin production, which impairs the body's ability to handle hypoxic stress and produce ATP efficiently.Statins & Mitochondrial Impact: Statins, used to lower cholesterol, inhibit the mevalonate pathway, affecting not just cholesterol but also CoQ10 and vitamin K2, crucial for mitochondrial function, potentially leading to side effects like myopathy.Mitochondrial Testing with Mitome: Masterjohn's company, Mitome, uses cheek swab tests to measure mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, providing personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to optimize cellular energy production.Nutrition & Mental Health: Masterjohn shares his personal experience of severe mental health issues on a vegan diet, which improved dramatically with a nutrient-dense diet rich in organ meats, highlighting individual nutritional needs.Energy Metabolism's Universal Role: Mitochondrial ATP production governs everything from daily energy levels to long-term health, with personalized testing helping identify and address specific bottlenecks.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Have you ever wondered if your metabolism—not just your hormones—is the hidden reason you're struggling to conceive?Most women think metabolism is only about weight loss or calorie burning, but it's actually your body's entire energy system.

Based on game-changing science (yes, real science), you'll learn what actually influences your metabolism—and how to take back control of your energy, body composition, and long-term health.Spoiler: it's not about eating less, working out more, or chasing hacks.

Most of us think health comes down to food, exercise, and maybe a supplement or two. But your body isn't just counting what goes in—it's counting time. Which poses the question: Why does eating at night destroy your metabolism? In this encore conversation with Danielle Hamilton, better known as The Sugar Goddess, we dive into why circadian rhythm is the hidden force behind blood sugar, hunger, and hormones.  Your body isn't just tracking what you eat—it's tracking when you eat. The same bowl of oatmeal that fuels you at 8 a.m. can send your blood sugar crashing at 8 p.m. because your metabolism runs on a 24-hour clock that expects sunrise and sunset, abundance and scarcity, summer and winter. If you've been doing everything right with diet and exercise but still struggling with metabolism, blood sugar, or weight, this episode reveals the missing variable your doctor never mentioned.  Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

Losing weight should be simple: eat less, exercise more. But according to author and health journalist Julia Belluz, it's complicated. Listen as Belluz talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about her new book, Food Intelligence. Belluz argues that a calorie is pretty much a calorie whether it's carbs or fat. Keeping calories under control is often harder than it sounds. The message isn't blame; it's agency with compassion: understand your body's feedback loops, redesign the choices around you, and choose a sustainable way to enjoy food. At the end of the conversation, Belluz makes the case for government intervention of various kinds to help us make what she sees as better food choices; Roberts pushes back.

Have you ever felt like stress was just baked into your life?  That no matter what you did, your job, your family, or your schedule would always keep you stuck in survival mode?  I've been there. For years, I told myself, “I'll always be stressed,” and it left me trapped in a cycle of burnout, resentment, and health struggles.  What I've learned is that real healing, whether it's from weight loss resistance, hormone imbalances, gut issues, or autoimmune conditions, can't happen until the nervous system feels safe. In this episode, I'm sharing the three shifts that helped me move from constant overwhelm to a place of regulation and resilience: state, story, and strategy. First, I'll break down how simple physical practices like eating outside in the sun, sipping chamomile tea, or walking between calls helped reset my nervous system.  Then, I'll explain how changing my story moved me out of victim mode and into empowerment, showing how the words we repeat to ourselves literally shape our stress hormones. Finally, I'll share how strategy through boundaries, systems, and structure became the safety net that made everything else sustainable. You'll also hear a practical example of how a full-time working mom could apply these same shifts to create more peace, energy, and balance in her day-to-day life, without adding another overwhelming “to-do.”  Time Stamps: (0:25) The Fall Season (2:10) Work Schedule and The Negative Self-Narrative (7:00) State/Story/Strategy Framework (9:50) Supporting My Physiology (14:10) Combating The All or Nothing Mentality (16:25) The Story You're Telling Yourself (21:05) The Final Piece: Strategy (25:45) Motion.AI (37:10) Tag Us for Accountability---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Angela is joined by internationally renowned medical doctor and researcher Dr. William Li for an eye-opening conversation about metabolism, fat loss, and the science of food as medicine. Dr. Li debunks common myths, like the belief that metabolism “slows down” with age, and explains how excess body fat, not age, is the real driver of metabolic decline. They also explore groundbreaking research on foods that activate brown fat, reduce visceral fat, and improve health span, offering practical, science-backed strategies you can use today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolism Myths Debunked: Human metabolism remains rock-stable from ages 20–60 and only slightly declines after that. The real issue is excess fat, not aging. Visceral vs. Brown Fat: Visceral fat harms metabolism, while brown fat is metabolically active and helps burn visceral fat. Food as Medicine: Everyday foods like tomatoes, berries, extra virgin olive oil, and even coffee can activate brown fat and improve metabolic health. Lifestyle Choices Matter: Stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods slow metabolism. With the right choices, 60 can truly be the new 20. Personalized Health: There's no one-size-fits-all prescription. How you live, eat, and manage stress determines how well your metabolism functions.
