The Metabolism Reset: How to Go From Sugar Burner to Fat Burner in 14 Days
Right now, millions of women are stuck in a cycle of constant hunger, food noise, energy crashes, stubborn weight gain, and frustration. Most have been told they need more willpower, but the truth is often much simpler.
Your metabolism may be stuck in sugar-burning mode.
In this episode, I break down one of the most important concepts I’ve taught over the last decade: the metabolic switch. You'll learn the difference between your body's sugar-burning and fat-burning systems, why blood sugar crashes drive cravings, and the five simple steps I use to help women become more metabolically flexible.
If you've struggled with fasting, weight loss, or constant cravings, this conversation will help you understand why and show you where to start.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The difference between sugar-burning and fat-burning metabolism
• Why blood sugar crashes create cravings and food noise
• How meal order affects your metabolic health
• The role of protein, fiber, and healthy fats in blood sugar regulation
• Why walking after meals is one of the most powerful metabolic tools
• How to gently extend fasting windows without stressing your body
• The symptoms that show your metabolic switch is improving
