You’ve been lied to about metabolism. Most “boosters” are gimmicks. What actually works?. – NEAT (non-exercise movement).– Protein-first meals.– Deep, consistent sleep.– Resistance training.– Electrolytes (yes, really). Metabolism isn’t luck—it’s strategy. #WomenOver40.

“You have to get healthy to lose weight, not lose weight to get healthy.”.Fat isn’t failure. It’s protection. Fix the root: blood sugar, hormones, muscle, sleep, gut. When the body feels safe, it lets go. Weight loss becomes a side effect of real health. #WomenOver40.
