Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris discuss metabolism and debunk common myths surrounding it. They explain the different factors that contribute to calorie burning, including basal metabolic rate, non-exercise activity thermogenesis, exercise, and the thermogenic effect of food. The hosts emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, consistent movement, resistance training, stress management, and quality sleep in boosting metabolism. They also address misconceptions about metabolism slowing down with age and the idea of a broken metabolism. The episode concludes with an offer for a free metabolic assessment to help listeners optimize their metabolism.
