People think metabolism is just calories and exercise.
But your body decides whether to burn or store energy based on signals — not effort.
Here are 5 extremely common ones we see:
1. Eating “healthy” but never eating enough protein in the morning
Your brain raises cortisol to compensate → afternoon fatigue + cravings
2. Drinking coffee before food
This spikes cortisol early and crashes blood sugar later
3. Snacking constantly
Insulin never drops → your body never switches to burning fuel
4. Trying to fix exhaustion with workouts
Your body reads stress + stress = conserve energy
5. Going to bed tired but wired
Night cortisol rise tells your body morning came too early
Most people think they need more discipline.
Usually they need different signals.
