"Eat More. Lift Heavy Shit. Slow Down"

Most women have been taught that the way to boost metabolism is to eat less, do more cardio, and push harder.

But the truth? Those very habits are slowing your metabolism down and leaving you exhausted, hungry, and stuck.

In this empowering episode of She Knows Her Body, we break down:

  • What metabolism really is (hint: it’s more than just calories burned).

  • The 4 components of your daily energy expenditure and how they work.

  • The biggest metabolism mistakes women are making (and why it’s not your fault).

  • Why eating less, doing endless cardio, and running on no sleep backfires.

  • My top 3 metabolism-boosting strategies to help you feel energized, strong, and in control of your body.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to fuel your body better, train smarter, and slow down in order to thrive - not just survive.

Because your metabolism isn’t broken. It’s adaptive. And when you understand how it works, you stop fighting your body and start working with it.

If this episode helps you shift how you think about metabolism, share it with a friend who needs to hear it...

The more we know our bodies, the more empowered we become!
