“I have a slow metabolism.”
“I just don’t have good genes.”
“My metabolism has slowed down since I’ve gotten older.”
“I just can’t eat as much as I used to.”
These are phrases I’ve heard time and time again.
While genetic influence, hormones, and other health factors do play a role in metabolism, I commonly see 3 reasons that new clients report a “slow metabolism.” Even when there are other factors worth addressing, we can often still make substantial progress when focusing on these 3 root causes:
1. Nutrition — chronic dieting or under-eating
2. Body Composition — low amount of muscle mass
3. Overall Movement — minimal movement throughout the day or outside of training sessions
