Metabolism—the rate at which your body burns calories—is directly tied to health, fitness, and weight loss. When metabolism slows, reaching these goals becomes more difficult. Nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress all play vital roles, and research offers clear guidance on how to optimize them. In this course, we’ll start with the “three W's” of nutrition—what to eat, when to eat, and water—along with essential components of exercise, including cardiovascular, interval, and strength training. We’ll examine how exercise and nutrition can support each other and how to avoid the paradox of workouts that actually hinder health or weight loss. We’ll also look at how these elements intersect with stress hormones and sleep, since these systems are deeply connected. Through weekly homework assignments, each student will develop a comprehensive personal plan for rejuvenating their metabolism from the ground up. This course is designed for anyone who feels stuck—whether workouts have plateaued, weight loss feels elusive, or metabolic health seems compromised.
