Is your metabolism REALLY low?

If you've been doing everything right... strength training consistently, eating well, walking 8-10K steps daily, managing stress and sleep...

Yet your metabolism seems stubbornly slower than everyone else's...

This episode will help you create a successful fat loss plan that works with your unique metabolic constraints rather than fighting against them.

Main Takeaways:

  • Some people genuinely have lower metabolisms due to factors beyond their control
  • Your body's "calories out" equation can vary dramatically between individuals
  • Strategic food choices can maximize satiety even on lower calorie budgets
  • The psychological approach to a slower metabolism matters as much as tactics
  • Success comes from designing around constraints rather than fighting against them
