🎙️Why Muscle Is Your Metabolic Gold with Eric Cafferty

What if the secret to your healthiest, strongest, most Perma Rich body wasn’t more cardio, more restriction, or more chaos, but… more muscle?

In this powerhouse episode, Kat brings on the one person who has shaped her Modern Wellness movement more than anyone else. Eric Cafferty is her trainer of over a decade, the coach who guided her through her first bodybuilding show, and the reason she still trains with intention instead of panic.

This episode breaks down the real truth about muscle, metabolism, longevity, and why most women are still getting the formula backwards. Eric lays it out simply. No noise. No diet culture confusion. Just science, strategy, and sustainable strength.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why muscle is your metabolic gold
  • Why women stay stuck in the fat loss loop
  • What actually builds long term leanness
  • How to train without frying your nervous system
  • Protein targets that actually matter
  • Why carbs are not the enemy
  • How fiber, macros, and micronutrients work together
  • Why building muscle takes time, consistency, and intention
  • How to think like an athlete, not a dieter

    • ⚡ MAIN CHARACTER MOVE:

    Stop obsessing over the scale and start obsessing over your function.
    Ask yourself:

    • What can I do today to perform better, lift better, feel better?
    • When your performance increases, so does everything else.

      • 🌟 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

      • Muscle is the foundation of your metabolism.
      • If you want long term leanness, muscle comes first.
      • Cardio helps, but it’s not the driver.
      • Protein is still the most under eaten macronutrient for women.
      • Your dream body comes from living the lifestyle that builds it.
      • Stop comparing. Start training like the woman you want to become.
