Most of what we’ve been told about boosting metabolism is incomplete—or just plain wrong. Cutting calories? Over-exercising? These approaches might work for a while, but they often backfire, especially for women as we age and our hormones shift.
Your metabolism is more than a calorie-burning machine; it’s the foundation of how your body creates energy, processes nutrients, and detoxifies naturally. Here are the top three ways to support your metabolism for lasting energy, health, and vibrancy:
1️⃣ Fuel Your Body Properly
Stop starving yourself! Consistently eating too little slows your
metabolism and deprives your body of essential nutrients. Instead,
focus on nourishment. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods and
enjoy treats without guilt. When you fuel your body well, your
metabolism can handle more—whether it’s cookies made with love or a
holiday feast.
2️⃣ Build and Maintain Muscle
Muscle is a metabolic powerhouse. The more lean muscle you have,
the more energy your body burns—even at rest. Incorporate strength
training into your routine and ensure you’re getting enough protein
to repair and build muscle. Even adding just five pounds of lean
muscle can significantly boost your basal metabolic rate.
3️⃣ Support Natural Detox Pathways
Your body’s natural detox systems—like your liver, lymphatic
system, and digestive tract—play a huge role in metabolism. If you
experience bloating, sluggish digestion, or fatigue, these pathways
may need support. Simple steps like dry brushing, sweating through
exercise or sauna sessions, and staying hydrated can help your body
flush out toxins and function optimally.
