The internal workings of the metabolism can also be damaged over time. And when I say damaged, it's it's a word that gets thrown around a lot. I don't mean damaged, like broken. I just mean, worn down. In this episode of Master Your Mindset and Metabolism, I want to share one of my favorite friends and mentor, Dr. Jade Teta. In this episode we talk all things metabolism, what works and what doesn't, the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Adrenal Glands and why what you THINK is the answer to a healthy metabolism is actually hindering your results.  Some tips from the episode: If you have fragmented, disrupted sleep, and you're not able to sleep. That is a key sort of insight that you are having too much stress on the system. Hunger, excess hunger and excess cravings. This is another indication that the system is stressed out. Isn't it interesting that the overnighter and the couch potato both have hunger and cravings constantly? They tend to suffer from those two things energy levels, obviously, right, as the metabolism is all about keeping energy levels stable. So when your energy is unpredictable and volatile, that's a good indication. Also, things like exercise performance and exercise recovery. If you do a workout, you're completely wiped out where you can't get through a workout. This is an example of a stress parameter that is overwhelmed. And then one of the things that's most important for women particularly has to do with libido and menstrual cycle.
