Creator description · original textText language: English
If you feel like your metabolism changed after 40… you’re not imagining it.
But it’s also not what most people think.
In this video, I break down what’s actually happening to your metabolism in midlife — from muscle loss and hormonal changes to insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function — and more importantly, what actually works to support fat loss, energy, and long-term metabolic health.
Because this isn’t about dieting harder.
It’s about understanding the biology of metabolism.
We’ll cover:
* Why metabolism changes after 40
* The role of muscle in fat loss and metabolic health
* Hormones (estrogen, testosterone, growth hormone) and their impact
* Insulin sensitivity and why it matters more than you think
* Why strength training is non-negotiable in midlife
* Protein intake and muscle preservation
* The truth about peptides and metabolism (GLP-1s, MOTS-c, AOD-9604)
* My personal strategy for maintaining body composition at 50
This is a science-based approach to metabolism and aging — not trends, not extremes, and not quick fixes.
