24. Misunderstandings of the "Pro-Metabolic" Approach


Listen Later

If learning about the pro-metabolic approach to food and wellness has left you feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone.  As this lifestyle has grown in popularity, we have seen a number of misconceptions emerge about what the pro-metabolic approach actually is.  In this episode, we break down some of the most common missteps we see and offer an alternative point of view that emphasizes individual self-experimentation and reconnecting with your body.  We want to help you see how simple and beautiful your metabolic healing journey can be!

Join us as we discuss the following:

  • Why the pro-metabolic approach is not black and white
  • What factors might draw us to hard and fast rules around food
  • Taking radical responsibility for your unique health journey
  • The problem with taking health advice too far and ignoring your individual physiology
  • Weight when switching to a metabolically supportive way of eating: when you might need to gain, when you might need to lose, and how to know if you’re gaining too much too quickly
  • The surprising truth about pursuing expansion in the body over restriction
  • Checking our perception of what a woman’s body “should” look like
  • Practical tips to implement if you feel you are gaining weight too quickly
  • Why it’s important to use your own discernment when learning from “experts”
  • Giving yourself grace to unlearn, relearn, and make mistakes in your healing journey
  • Moving beyond physical root cause and examining emotional and spiritual influences
