About this episode
How often do we hear someone in their 30’s, 40’s, and beyond tell someone in their 20’s: “What I would give to have my old metabolism back and eat whatever I want.” The belief that a declining metabolism is an inevitable part of adulthood causes people to feel helpless and that they can’t do anything about it. But emerging evidence shows that a decrease in metabolism isn’t an inevitable part of adulthood, at least in early adulthood from ages 20-60ish. Shannon discusses this study and how to keep your metabolism high as you age. 0:00: Introduction 2:02: Description of research study 5:13: Reasons why your body composition may change as you age 7:30: Insulin sensitivity/resistance 9:41: Constrained Total Energy Expenditure 14:12: What CAN exercise do for your metabolism? 19:50: The downward spiral 20:49: The upward spiral 24:12: Does your metabolism change during menopause? 25:12: What is happening after the age of 60? 8 free Evlo classes Follow Dr. Shannon on IG 14 day Evlo trial To take our free 35-minute Upper Body Build class taught by Dr. Shannon, visit portal.evlofitness.com .
