In this episode of the trainwell podcast, hosts Joey Maestas and Darian Healy delve into the topic of metabolism, addressing common myths and misconceptions. They discuss how metabolism works, the impact of meal frequency, the effects of aging, and the role of exercise in caloric burn. The conversation emphasizes the importance of building muscle, staying active throughout the day, and managing sleep and stress to effectively boost metabolism.
Takeaways:
- People in larger bodies often have a higher metabolic rate.
- Eating less can actually slow down metabolism.
- Meal frequency does not significantly impact metabolic rate.
- Certain foods have a minimal thermogenic effect on metabolism.
- Metabolism does not inherently slow down with age.
- Reduced activity and muscle mass contribute to metabolic decline with age.
- Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) accounts for a significant portion of daily caloric burn.
- Building muscle is crucial for increasing metabolic rate.
- Staying active throughout the day is essential for metabolism.
- Sleep and stress management are key factors in metabolic health.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
