Midlife Metabolism Myths That Keep You Stuck (and How to Fix Them)

Does your metabolism feel so slow it needs a motivational speech just to burn a single calorie? Then this episode is for you.

Today I’m joined by fitness and nutrition coach Philip Pape, who breaks down the science (and myths) around metabolism and shows us how to take back control of our energy, strength, and body composition in midlife.

You’ll learn:

• The real reason for a slower metabolism (spoiler: it’s not age)

• How hormones influence our ability to build and maintain muscle

• What is “menopenia”?

• The fastest way to boost metabolism naturally

• Why muscle is considered our “metabolic organ”

• Philip’s take on GLP-1s, fasting, and blood flow restriction training
