Listen Later

Slow Metabolism? Struggling with your sleep?

In this episode, we'll dive into your metabolism and discuss how we can keep it healthy as we age. Many of us believe that our metabolism slows down as we get older and that we're doomed to gain weight, but there's a lot we can do to control it. We can even reverse metabolic adaptations through our previous dieting practices and increase our metabolic rate at any age.

In this episode, we'll cover five tips to boost your metabolism and optimize your sleep. First, we'll explore how your metabolism works and why changes occur, especially as we age. Then, we'll discuss why your dieting mindset may be holding you back and how to overcome it.

We're also excited to have a special guest, Dr. Amy Bender, who is the Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, a sleep health technology startup, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary. She received her PhD and Master of Science degrees in Experimental Psychology from Washington State University, specializing in sleep EEG. Dr. Bender has helped develop the only validated sleep screening tool for athletes and has implemented sleep optimization strategies for numerous Canadian Olympic and professional teams. Her current interests focus on how to help people sleep better by improving sleep disorder treatments with more precise digital sleep metrics. 

Dr. Bender will share essential tips to improve the quality of your sleep and what your sleep tracking device is really telling you. We'll also reveal six metabolism-boosting foods, including one that's often overlooked, and share a quick recipe to combine them. Lastly, we'll discuss how to design your workouts to boost muscle and metabolism.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of how to boost your metabolism and optimize your sleep for a healthier lifestyle. Tune in to learn how to take control of your health and wellbeing today.
