Most people think metabolism is just about calories — eat less, move more, burn fat. But what if that’s wrong? In this episode, Alex and Zara dismantle the myths and reveal how your metabolism is actually a highly intelligent survival system that’s constantly adapting to your environment, stress, food, and sleep.
You’ll learn:
-
Why over-exercising and under-eating can backfire (even if you’re “doing everything right”)
-
How your gut, hormones, and mitochondria all talk to each other
-
What metabolic inflexibility really is — and how to fix it
-
Why sleep and circadian rhythm are non-negotiable for healing
-
And how to stop punishing your body and start working with it
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by weight gain, burnout, brain fog, or cravings — this episode might be your turning point.
