Your metabolism is really important, and not just for weight loss. Yes, a healthy metabolism supports optimal and stable weight, but it also promotes a healthy gut which keeps us from getting sick all the time.

Today we are going to talk about metabolism, discussing what exactly is a fast metabolism? What are some signs your metabolism could use a boost? What if anything can change your metabolic rate? We will also cover 5 ways to speed up metabolism including energy work, breathing, foods, supplements, and crystals.

Let's start with what is a "fast" metabolism...

You’ve heard it before right, “so-and-so has such a fast metabolism” or “I really wish I could speed up my metabolism” or maybe even “this pill will speed up your metabolism.”

So what exactly does a “sped up” or “fast metabolism” mean?

Well you know I like to talk about the science here, so let’s start with that, when nutritionists, scientists, and/or functional medicine people talk about a fast metabolism, we mean a high basal metabolic rate. This refers to the number of calories the body uses while resting. This is the number of calories your body uses to simply stay alive.

Interestingly, people look at each other and speculate that one person has a higher metabolism than another but metabolic rates are remarkably the same.

I know, you're thinking, "What?!? How can metabolic rates all be the same?" It has to do with lean tissue, as you will learn below.

What determines how fast my metabolism is?

Thanks to good old science we can tell that metabolism in lean tissue, so things like muscles, your kidneys, and your liver are all considered lean tissue. And studies show that basal metabolic rate or the amount of calories (energy) lean tissue takes to survive across most people is really close to the same.

The difference in my metabolism and your metabolism lies in the amount of not lean tissue, or fat on our bodies. If a person is 175 lbs and has 50% lean muscle mass and 50% body fat, then their overall metabolism is slower than a person 175 lbs with 15% body fat.

What are some signs your metabolism could use a boost?

There are lots of signs, but let's look at a few of them here:

fatigue,
