Hey there! I’m very excited to be kicking off season 1 of my podcast, and I’m SO glad you are here. I can’t think of a better way to kick off this episode than by doing a crash course into metabolism. I’ll actually be splitting this into 2 parts, because there’s so much great information to be covered (part 2 will be in episode 2).
Metabolic health and metabolism are very popular, and words you’re probably hearing a lot about in the health and wellness space these days.
Your metabolism refers to the processes that occur within our body. These are the processes that essentially keep us alive. This includes converting food into energy, building and repairing tissues, and eliminating waste. Your metabolism is influenced by a wide variety of factors like your age, your gender, and your genetics (yes, your genetics DO play a role).
Your body composition, lifestyle factors such as the food that you eat, your exercise habits, your stress levels, the environment you live in, these all, all these things affect your metabolism. Caring for your metabolic health is important, not only for just maintaining your energy or your weight or your hormones, but also in preventing chronic disease, slowing the aging process. Uh, promoting overall wellness, your reproductive health, your fertility.
This information is the education you should have received in school, but unfortunately didn’t. Ultimately, we all want to have good energy and feel our best every day; we don’t want to feel like we’re needing to ‘crawl across the finish line’ at the end of the day.
I hope this episode gave you some practical applications and tips you can start implementing when it comes to your metabolism. After all, you deserve to feel your best from the inside out!

I know from my own personal health journey that it's possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn't take the time to understand the "why" behind my symptoms. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.
Now I'm here to help you do the same!
