Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I have Dr. Heather Rhodes as my co-host, and we're talking about how your metabolism affects weight loss and energy. We tend to see metabolism and hormone balance separately, but when we start integrating both in practice with our clients, we see results much faster and for a longer time.Today, we're going to really dive into not only what metabolism is, but how your metabolism is working for you, how to see the signs of stress on your body, and a few specific things you can start doing today to improve your metabolism – all can be done at home for free, which we love.In this episode:[06:45] Misconceptions about metabolism and what it actually means[13:19] The connection between metabolism and overall body function[17:16] Role of the thyroid and the adrenals in your metabolism[21:12] Your body isn’t working against you, it’s working for you![23:34] Does our metabolism slow down as we get older?[28:47] What your libido says about your metabolismResources- Free hormone balance guide- Nourish Your Hormones Course- Apply to work 1:1 with Leisha HEREConnect with LeishaInstagram: @leishadrewsWebsite: abundant-lifewellness.comConnect with HeatherInstagram: @drheatherrhodesWebsite: www.drheatherrhodes.com
