I’m 41, and I’m calling BS on the 'slow metabolism' excuse.
As a 41-year-old anti-diet coach, I see women every day mourning their 'lost metabolism' like it’s a dead pet. 🪦
Newsflash: It’s not dead. It’s just buried under stress, lack of movement, and the fact you are not active as you once were.
It is not your fault, we have extremely busy lives now, the pressures and the responsibilities are a lot.
But if you stop blaming metabolism and actually look at what the real issue is then you can make changes.
Stop trying to fix your biology and start adjusting your environment. You’re not broken; you’re just busy. Let’s work with that instead of against it.... Let’s work with that instead of against it.
Here is how you actually move the needle without adding another 3-hour chore to your week:
1️⃣ Stop the "Hour or Nothing" Mentality: You don't need a 60-minute gym session to count. 15 minutes of lifting something heavy in your living room protects your muscle (and your metabolism) better than a workout you never show up for.
2️⃣ Protect Your Protein: Stop eating like a bird. If you want your metabolism to hum, you have to feed the muscle. Aim for protein at every meal—it’s the simplest "metabolic hack" there is.
3️⃣ Audit Your Movement: It’s not about "cardio"; it’s about NEAT. Take the call standing up. Park further away. Pace while the kettle boils. These tiny "activity snacks" add up more than a single spin class once a week.
4️⃣ Lower the Baseline Stress: If you’re red-lining 24/7, your body is in survival mode, not fat-loss mode. Five minutes of actual silence or a 10-minute walk outside isn't "self-care"—it's a biological necessity.
Stop looking for a "metabolism reset" in a bottle. The "fix" is simplifying your life so your body can actually do its job.
Which one of these feels like the biggest hurdle right now? The time, the protein, or the stress? Let’s chat in the comments. 👇
