#98: Metabolism Myths That Keep You Stuck
Episode description
You likely don’t have a broken metabolism, you probably have bad information. In this episode, Ben Olliver, Dr. Taylor Waters, and Ryan Stevens expose the biggest lies in fitness about “slow metabolism,” “starvation mode,” and “resets” that waste time and keep high performers stuck. They break down how energy balance actually works, what tracking drift looks like, and why most plateaus come from missed details, not hormones. If you’ve ever said “my metabolism is slow,” this episode will show you what’s really happening, how to fix it, and why honest data always beats hype.
