A lot of people believe cardio is the magic answer for burning calories. But if we’re being honest, the real powerhouse behind a healthy metabolism isn’t how long you spend on a treadmill — it’s how much muscle you carry.
One thing I hear constantly is, “My metabolism is so slow… it’s just genetics.”
Whenever I ask, “Okay, what are you doing to build your metabolism?” — silence. Every time.
Here’s the truth: muscle is the engine of your metabolism. It’s working for you 24/7, even when you’re sitting, relaxing… or sound asleep. And I don’t know about you, but I love the idea of burning more calories while I’m in a REM cycle.
So what actually strengthens your metabolism?
Eating enough. Fueling with more whole foods. Lifting weights and building lean muscle. That combination tells your body to become stronger, healthier, and more efficient.
And what slows it down?
Living on too little food. Endless cardio sessions. Chronic stress. These things chip away at your energy, recovery, and long-term progress.
The big misconception is thinking your metabolism is fixed. It isn’t. You can build it, support it, and improve it at any age. Your next step? Start treating your muscle like an investment. Add a couple strength sessions, bump up your protein, and stop fearing the fuel your body actually needs.
Small changes. Consistent effort. Real results.
