Description

Ever feel like your metabolism just isn't what it used to be? 🤔 In this episode, we're diving deep into the truth about metabolism, aging, and why those aggressive diets you see all over TikTok are doing more harm than good.

We break down the science behind Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), explain why your body fights back when you restrict calories too aggressively, and reveal the real reasons your metabolism might feel "slower" as you get older (spoiler: it's not magic, and you're not broken! 💪).

From debunking viral diet trends to understanding the difference between weight loss and fat loss, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you approach your health from a place of self-love and care — not punishment.

Whether you're curious about metabolism, tired of yo-yo dieting, or just want to feel your best in your own skin, this episode is for you! 🎧✨
