Today we are kicking off a new series where we’ll dive into all the industry myths out there and break through them one at a time.
With the initial goal to get through five topics today, we instead spent an hour dissecting metabolism, specifically talking about metabolic damage, whether it’s real, what really happens physiologically and psychologically, and the realities of metabolism during dieting.
This is a deep dive that will continue to evolve in more episodes, and I can’t wait for you to hear the first of many myths getting slayed.
“We know what works, and it’s hard work and consistency. But it’s a lot easier to blame metabolism.”
