Metabolism can be a nebulous topic.

Most people know that their metabolism is intertwined with their health, but people’s metabolisms aren’t just “fast” or “slow.” They’re adaptive systems that depend on a multitude of variables, including environment, nutrition, genetics, stress, training, past experience, and more.

To help make sense of it all and offer practical ways to apply our understanding, I interview Sam Miller in this podcast.

In case you’re not familiar with Sam, he’s an Amazon best-selling author with over 15 years of experience as a health, fitness, and nutrition coach, helping coaches and health professionals improve their clients’ results.

As an educator, podcaster, certified nutritionist, and licensed, board-certified health practitioner, he shares simple, strategic methods for physique and health transformation.

And because he recently penned a book called, Metabolism Made Simple, he’s the perfect guest for today’s topic.

In our metabolic deep dive, Sam and I discuss . . .

The crucial relationship between metabolism and overall health
The influence of genetics and past experiences on our current metabolic health
The significance of non-exercise activity (NEAT) and strategies to boost metabolism
The role of mindset, realistic expectations, and consistency in improving metabolic health
Why being in a calorie deficit should be viewed as a phase rather than a lifestyle
How to incorporate biofeedback into your lifestyle for better dieting outcomes
The importance of micronutrients and their impact on metabolism
And more...
