  SPEAKER_00: Hey, I've got another quick bonus episode for you today about metabolism.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: Most people are blaming their metabolism for lots of things.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: I talk about metabolism being the source of much strife when it comes to fat loss and building muscle.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: But to be honest, metabolism is not really the issue most of the time.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: What you're actually dealing with is one of a few common scenarios.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you've been under eating for so long that your body has adapted and your maintenance calories have dropped.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: That is just a temporary change in your metabolism, but it's not the root cause.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: The root cause is the under-ating.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe your insulin sensitivity is lower than average and you would do better with more movement, different training, better carb, more carbs, and better carb timing.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're just not matching your approach, your current lifestyle and recovery capacity right now.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: The problem is often that you don't know where you are in that journey, right?
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: You're following a plan designed either for someone else's situation or maybe even for you six months ago or a year ago.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And your friend who does intermittent fasting or keto and says, oh, this is great, or does carnivore or trains in a different way, and then they get results, you look at them and you're like, oh, I should try that.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: They might have different work schedules, stress level, training demand.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're probably not doing something sustainable anyway.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: You can't really peer behind that curtain.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so you really have to find out what works for your performance goals.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: And I say performance as a catch-all for feeling good, looking looking good, better health, better longevity.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I put together a short quiz.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to share that with you.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's free.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: It helps you identify which of these scenarios you're actually in right now.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: It asks you about specific things right now, like your energy patterns, how you respond to different foods, your training recovery, sleep quality, dieting history.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's very short.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like a big, you know, coaching intake or anything like that.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then based on your answers, you get a sense of whether you're dealing with metabolic adaptation or insulin resistance, suboptimal recovery, or maybe things are actually functioning well.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it tells you that, it validates that and says, you know, maybe you just want some better structure and we're going to give you some ideas on that.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then after you take the quiz, you can go one level deeper if you want, request a more detailed, personalized report, provide a little bit more information so it knows how to do that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: And by it, I mean the software that I've written that will send you the report because you get it instantly.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then you get macro ranges based on the evidence, training recommendations that match your recovery, practical tips, even some recipes.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to be clear about something.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't gonna tell you that you have some special metabolism that's unique and requires a different approach you've never heard of before, some you know, secret to unlocking your metabolism.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: The fundamentals are still gonna work for everyone.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: What it does do is help you figure out where to start with those fundamentals based on your situation right now.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: So it just helps you target it in, like a decision tree.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's that you know, if you've been chronically under-eating, you might have to focus on recovery in your diet before you push for fast fat loss.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: If your insulin sensitivity is lower, you might benefit from a different approach to your carbs and timing.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: And the report gives you ranges, it doesn't give you rigid or restrictive prescriptions.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: It suggests approaches, not rules.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: It recommends how to track on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people are just guessing at this stuff.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: You know, random calculators and macro splits online, random programs.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: They don't think about their volume or recovery, constantly hopping around, constantly changing, and never quite knowing what's actually working.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you did something that works, but you don't know it works, so then you move on to something else.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: And this instead gives you a systematic starting point.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you'll have data on where you likely are, you'll get recommendations based on that assessment, and then you'll have a framework for some of this tracking to see whether what you've been recommended is actually working.
