Top 5 Foods to Boost Metabolism Naturally for Women Over 40

Myth debunked: your metabolism doesn't slow down automatically with age. But there are a few factors you need to consider that can have a negative impact. In this episode, I discuss why you might have a slow metabolism, the two things you want to check if you’re over 40, and steps you can take to have a faster metabolism. If you want to lose weight, you must make sure you’re holding on to muscle mass and getting optimal protein in your diet. I discuss how you can accomplish both. Another important, but often overlooked, factor to address is low thyroid function. In this episode, I highlight specific spices, beverages, and foods that are shown to support a healthy blood-sugar response to a meal, help burn fat, and support a healthy metabolism. You don’t want to miss the daily beverage I drink that can promote fat and calorie burning... even at rest. To avoid weight struggles, hair loss, mood disruptions, and other challenges women often experience with age, you must take steps to maintain a healthy metabolism. It’s worth it—because when you embrace aging powerfully, you can feel great in your 40s and beyond!
