271. Over 40 Metabolism Myths with Liz Wolfe, NTP and Certified Personal Trainer

Insatiable with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC

Send me (Ali) a text message.

Liz Wolfe has been in the nutrition and wellness space almost as long as I have, so it's hard to believe our paths haven't really crossed until now! This in-depth conversation is a paradigm shift from how we often think about metabolism, which is basically just about calorie burning and boosting. Metabolism—especially at midlife-ish—is about so much more and (news alert!) most of what we've read and been fed about metabolism and aging is either wrong or misunderstood. We also get into what Liz describes as her "intentional weight loss" with peptides (and the backlash) and much more.
Among the Questions Explored:

• Why is hunger a good thing and what does it say about your metabolism?
• Why does it feel like it our metabolism slows down as we age, even though current metabolic science says it doesn’t really change from 20-60?
• Why are muscle and protein so crucial to our metabolic health as we age?
• What does Liz really want people to understand about metabolism as we age?

Top Questions from Insatiable Listeners (and being searched):

• Is there any way to “reset” my metabolism?
• What is Liz's #1 tip to increase metabolism over 40?
• What’s one food I should consider adding to my diet boost my metabolism?
• Top recommendations for strength training after 40?
