Andrea reframes the idea of a “broken metabolism” and walks through the deeper drivers that truly influence how the body functions. She shares why metabolism is about far more than calories and workouts, pulling back the curtain on the roles of nutrition, hormones, the nervous system, training, and even breathing and core stability. Andrea also digs in to how stress, underfueling, and overtraining can quietly work against progress, and how a more holistic, supportive approach can help the body become responsive again for the long game.
