Can you reset a slow metabolism?

You can definitely reset a slow metabolism, whether it's due to age or genetics. I've helped clients in their 60s achieve metabolic rates comparable to those of people 20 years younger than them through strategic interventions. The secret lies in three scientifically proven methods that work synergistically to promote metabolic revitalization.

Strength training builds metabolic powerhouses by increasing muscle mass. Each pound of muscle burns 6-10 extra calories daily at complete rest. Focus on compound movements, such as squats and deadlifts, twice a week. I've measured metabolic rate increases of 15-20% in clients within 12 weeks.

Protein optimization helps to circumvent muscle loss occurring during metabolic calibration. Consuming 1.6-2.2g/kg body weight per day supports maintaining lean mass. It is crucially important in maintaining a resting metabolic rate during times of a caloric deficit. Additionally, protein intake around workouts will maximize the muscle protein synthesis response.

NEAT activities quickly offset sedentary metabolic slowdown. Standing desks, walking meetings, and household chores burn an extra 100-800 calories per day. These movements utilize different muscle groups on a continuum, preventing metabolic adaptation during a calorie deficit.

Integrate these methods in stages to create compound effects. Begin with NEAT and protein before adding strength training. Monitor energy and performance changes. A metabolic reset requires consistency, but you'll start to see quantifiable changes within a few weeks.

You regain metabolic flexibility from consistent practice. Clients report improved energy and successful weight management. Your metabolism responds positively at any age when given the right physiological signals through movement and nutrition.
