Summary of Transcript:
The speaker discusses four tried and true strategies to boost metabolism: eating thermic foods, drinking water, incorporating spices into meals, and building more lean muscle. Thermic foods, such as protein, take a lot of energy to metabolize and can help reduce disease risk, improve digestion, and increase energy levels. Drinking water can raise resting energy levels by 30%, and dehydration can raise stress hormones, so drinking enough water is crucial. Spices such as ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne can also have thermic effects and help with digestion, weight loss, and disease prevention. Finally, building lean muscle can increase basal metabolic rate, help manage blood sugar levels, and support healthy joints and bones. Losing weight without losing fat can lead to being TOFI (thin outside, fat inside), which is not ideal for overall health.

4 Ways to Boost Your Metabolism for Better Health and Weight Loss
Metabolism plays a crucial role in weight loss and better health. It’s the process by which your body converts food into energy, and it also affects your ability to burn calories and regulate your appetite. In this video, JJ Virgin shares her top 4 ways to get and keep your metabolism at peak performance.
1. What you eat
The food you eat has a significant impact on your metabolism. JJ explains that protein is essential to maintain muscle mass, which is crucial for keeping your metabolism healthy. She recommends All-in-1 Shakes as a convenient way to meet your protein needs.
Drinking enough water is another key dietary factor that affects metabolism. JJ recommends drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily to keep your body hydrated.
Spices such as cayenne can help raise your body temperature, increasing your metabolism. Cinnamon is another favorite spice that promotes a normal appetite.
2. Build muscle
Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, so building muscle can boost metabolism. JJ shares a podcast episode about building muscle for women over 50 and recommends incorporating resistance training into your exercise routine.
3. Improve Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity refers to how effectively your body uses insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Improving insulin sensitivity can help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels, which is important for weight loss and overall health. JJ recommends taking Magnesium Body Calm and Berberine Synergy supplements to support insulin sensitivity. She also shares a podcast episode about insulin resistance with Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo.
4. Sleep, Stress, and Supplements
Getting great sleep is crucial for optimal health and metabolism. JJ recommends taking Sleep Candy supplements to improve sleep quality.
Lowering stress can also help improve metabolism. JJ shares how she manages stress in another podcast episode.
Eating more soluble Fiber and reducing sugar impact are two more ways to optimize your metabolism. JJ recommends Extra Fiber supplements to increase fiber intake and her Sugar Impact Diet book to reduce sugar impact.
Finally, Shine On supplements support healthy vitamin D levels, while Lipoic Acid and Berberine in Berberine Synergy can also improve insulin sensitivity.
Don’t neglect your metabolism if you’re looking to lose weight or improve your health. JJ’s top 4 ways to boost your metabolism can help support optimal metabolism and overall health.
