Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams. A healthy metabolism is essential for many aspects of our lives, from energy levels and moods to weight control and overall health. However, when your metabolism isn't working as it should, it can lead to fatigue, difficulty with weight loss or gain, and even poor digestion.

Hi, I'm Donna Williams, and I run short, whole foods based detoxes for beginners. With my detox program, I help my community get back on track with their eating, so they feel better, have more energy, and even drop a few pounds. I love working with people who have high blood pressure, and I particularly enjoy working with women of color.

Today’s Episode is on the Six Metabolism Insights You Should Know!

Metabolism is the sum of all physical and chemical changes taking place in your living cells. It includes all the reactions by which the body obtains and spends the energy from food.  So, let me break it down.

• Metabolism: Is The Grand Conductor of Your Body's Energy - Think of your metabolism as the grand conductor of an orchestra, directing the tempo, setting the pace, and ensuring everything runs in perfect harmony.
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Your Body's Idle Speed.
• What Shapes Your Metabolic Rate? It's More Than Just Genes!
• Boosters On The Horizon: Can We Turbocharge Our Metabolism?
• Eating And Metabolism: The Thermic Effect.
• A Balancing Act: Weight and Metabolism.

What is Metabolic Syndrome: Medically it said its “a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes”
