What is The Metabolic Reboot?

 

So, why a "Reboot?" And what kind of metabolic miracles can you expect during our month together?

 

In my experience, after working with over 1000 clients, we can move metabolic mountains in just a few weeks days. It takes a re-education; an unlearning and then relearning of health concepts involving food, movement, and lifestyle. My all-time favourite metabolic hacks are laid out in this 21-day program, delivered daily. 

 

First, what is "metabolism?"

You may only know metabolism as being a mystical, cosmic process that either moves "fast" (yay!) or "slow" (boo). Please allow me to offer the world's fastest clarification on that for you:

 

Metabolism is the system of the body that decides how fuel is used. Is the food you eat effectively taken up into the cells and used as fuel to provide energy for the body? Or is it carried away and stored as fat? And then, if that happens, metabolism also is responsible for determining how and when (and if!) that stored fat is mobilized out of storage and into the cells, to be used as fuel.

 

Maybe you go to the gym to "burn fat." Maybe you carefully select certain foods to help you "burn fat."

​

I'm here to tell you that you can't and won't "burn fat" until you metabolic processes are brought online.

 

That's what The Metabolic Reboot will do.

 

Understanding all of this, you can probably recognize that your metabolism determines how much fat you have on your body, how readily that fat can be accessed and burned, and also directly impacts how much energy you have. It impacts how your body feels, and how you feel in your body. It even impacts your mood, mental clarity, and attitude. When you can get energy from food — and from your own fat stores — a lot of things get better. 

 

The fast metabolism/slow metabolism paradigm is a bothersome to me. It's oversimplified and dead wrong. I want you to forget about what speed you think your metabolism is destined to run. In my opinion and experience, we are all designed to be perfect, optimal, fuel-efficient units. Every one of us can have the energy and the waistline that we desire. 

 

Your metabolism just needs a little... reboot!

The Side Effects of a Woke Metabolism

When your metabolism finally wakes up, you can expect a few great side effects:

 

"Feeling better."

I know this sounds generic, but almost every person I've ever worked with has come to me describing themselves as "not feeling as good as I know I can." It's a hard feeling to put your arms around, but if you have a sense of inner knowing that you can feel better than you do now, this will be the program for you.

 

Some of the "better feelings" my clients have reported include: 

• Level energy throughout the day: no more 3pm slumps

• Better sleeps, which results in improved feelings of vitality and vigour throughout the day

• A clearer mind: Your brain can step up to the plate because it's more nourished and supported by fuel

• Improved moods; reduced mood swings: A broken metabolism shows up in a lot of ways, and one of those ways is low-grade anxiety

 

Looser Pants

When we start giving our body the fuel it is perfectly designed to use, one of the things it rewards us with is some pretty great water weight loss. In my opinion, water weight loss still counts! Your pants will feel looser. Your coworkers may comment on your face looking slimmer. You'll like what you see in the mirror. There ain't nothing wrong with that! 

 

Weight Loss?

Look. Any person or program who promises epic weight loss in 21 days should be treated with some suspicion. I don't like or trust fast and dramatic weight loss. I prefer it slow and low.

 

But weight loss (or, as I prefer to call it, "fat loss") is, in my opinion, an eventual inevitability of a metabolism that is finally ticking like a clock, maybe for the first time since your 20s, when it was soooo easy to maintain a leaner body.

 

Some of my clients experience double-digit weight loss in a month; some do not experience any. But what's important is that we're taking a healing approach to your metabolism, and once that system of the body has been rebooted, it will begin tapping into the fat stores that have been seemingly stuck on your body for the last few years. One of the most incredible benefits of my metabolic approach to fat loss is the long term, consistent loss of excess body fat. You get a little leaner, year over year...

 

Although it's not fast and dramatic, I sure don't mind going down a pants size every year; it's a helluva lot better than going the other way!

Why Should I Care?

 

I created the Reboot to clean up the messaging around how your body actually uses fuel. And how your thoughts, feelings, and personal life inputs play an important role. 

​

The Reboot teaches the best practices I’ve collected after working very closely in personal coaching relationships with hundreds of unique souls. After all, we are all about 98.5% genetically identical. This is the stuff that works, generally, for humans. And, in pure eat.simple fashion, it’s easy and non-fussy.

​

You will learn:
 

• Why diet and exercise has stopped workig for you for fat loss. 
   

• The true, inarguable facts about fat, carbs and protein — all of which are incredibly valuable and important; none of which are to be feared; and none of which are responsible for making you fat
   

• How to  stop thinking about food all day long  by tapping into the simplicity of your innate hunger and fullness cues (which you were born with but which have been “broken” over a lifetime)
   

• How to make food decisions that support you while “meeting you where you’re at” in terms of  your schedule, your socioeconomic status, your access to food, your preferences,  and other such factors that may have derailed you previously (because no other program ever bothered to teach you how to work with them)
   

• How making a simple shift in the timing your food can open up a whole new world of  connection to your innate elegant hunger and fullness signals
   

• How to  listen and trust your body,  even when it’s asking for ice cream or wine
   

• How to move your body to  get the most metabolic bang for your buck
   

• How to  sleep like it’s your damned job  and why it’s a metabolic non-negotiable (the second most important factor after food)
   

• How to  practice self-compassion and kindness  as an aspect of health: totally obliterated by diet culture which basically teaches you to hate yourself thin (oops did I say that out loud)
   

• How to  “screw up” and “get back on the wagon” with no judgement or shame spiral  or starting-over-again-on-Monday
   

• How to get rid of the damned wagon altogether

​

Most importantly, the Reboot is a RELATIONSHIP. Not an app. Not a program. Not a plan.

 

You’re with me. I’m with you. There’s a community around us.

 

This is utterly non-negotiable and, in my view, the only way to do this kind of important work.
