Stop trying to speed up your metabolism and do this instead!

Today we’re answering the question, “How Do I REV UP My Metabolism After 40?”

“How can I rev up my metabolism?”

“How can I revive my metabolism?

And my answer is, you have to fix it first.

You can’t rev up an engine if the pistons don’t move up and down like they’re supposed to.

You can’t speed up a car that can’t burn fuel correctly.

You can’t jumpstart a car that has a broken battery.

Please hear me on this.  You don’t have a slow metabolism.  You have a damaged metabolism.

You don’t have a non-existent metabolism, you have a damaged one.

The answer is not to speed up or make it fast.  

The answer is to fix it and make it healthy.

The results you think you’ll get with a fast, speedy, and revved-up metabolism are actually the only results you can get with a fully repaired and functional metabolism.

When you say you want to rev up your metabolism, I get it, I know what you mean.  But I want you to know what you really want, what you really need to burn fat and have energy and be healthy is a repaired and healthy metabolism.  Not just a fast one.

There are two very important pieces to your metabolism.

First, you have your metabolic machinery.  Second, you have your metabolic hormones.

Metabolic machinery.

Metabolic hormones.

Your metabolic machinery is the actual organelles, as we call them, think mini-organs, or the teeny tiny wee parts that make up the inner machinery of our cells.

Your metabolism is not a big wood-burning stove in your trunk somewhere.  It’s millions of teeny tiny electrical power plants called mitochondria found in all cells in your body. 

In your heart cells, in your muscle cells, in your brain cells.

The mitochondria are the things that burn fat.  They burn sugar or fat.  They can burn protein that has been turned into sugar first.  They can also burn ketones.  No matter what the source of the calorie, be it carbohydrate, protein, or fat, it get’s burned in your mitochondria, your metabolic machinery.

So you can see how important these little babies are to you and your weight.  

If your metabolic machinery, your mitochondria, are damaged, you physically have trouble burning your stored body fat for fuel.

This is physical damage.  This is totally real. This is due to what you eat.  This is due to toxic foods and toxic eating habits.

This is due to something called oxidation and inflammation.

The second part of your metabolism is your metabolic hormones.  If the mitochondria are the power plants, the hormones are like the managers telling the power plants what to burn and when. 

Hormones are signals in your body to turn things on or off or to do something.

In the womb, if you are exposed to estrogen, you become a girl, and the female switch is on.  If you are bathed in testosterone, you become a male.  Make the switch on, female switch off.

Metabolic hormones are the same.  One hormone, insulin, turns on and says, “Store fat.  Burn sugar.  Don’t burn fat. Put that over there and store it for later.”

The other hormone glucagon comes on when insulin is off and says, “Release the stored sugar, release the stored fat, burn the fat, go for it!”

But here’s the thing. If you have a damaged metabolism, you have insulin that turns on too much and stays on too long.  

Your metabolic hormones are telling your metabolic machinery to not burn fat, but sugar.

This in turn drives an incredible hunger for foods that are high in sugar.  Like bread, rice, pasta, chips, cupcakes, and brownies.

So your metabolic hormones and metabolic machinery work together.

So to fix your metabolism you have to fix the oxidation or damage to your mitochondria and you have to rebalance and calm down your metabolic hormones.

This is what we do in the Freese Method.

Here’s the secret.  To repair your metabolism, to do it successfully, you have to do certain things in a certain order.   

You have to do the right things in the right order.

I hear women say, I tried keto, but it didn’t work, I tried intermittent fasting and I hated it, I do all the things you are saying in your videos and guide and nothing is working.

And while that doesn’t make sense to you, it makes perfect sense to me.  

You haven’t done the right things in the right order.  You may be doing some right things, but until you do it in the right order, the machinery can’t burn the fat that the hormones are sending it.

That’s the secret sauce of the Freese Method.  Because I understand very very deeply how your metabolism works and all the bits and pieces involved, I know the right steps in the right order.

This is the method.  The 5 steps of the Freese Method.

To truly find lasting weight control, your metabolism has to function like it was made to before we messed it up with dieting, low-fat living, processed foods, supplements, cleanses, and protein powders.  

When you have happy healthy mitochondria, you have a happy, healthy waistline that can eat a brownie every once in a while without freaking out and putting on weight.

When you have balanced metabolic hormones you can have chips and salsa and a margarita every once in while without waking up 4 lbs heavier.

Because that’s really what we want.  We want to rev up and have a speedy metabolism so that we can eat what we want without gaining weight.  

The Freese Method walks you through, with me right beside you, the 5 Steps of metabolic repair that clean out your metabolic machinery and restores balance to your metabolic hormones.

So that you can have a healthy, flexible metabolism that can burn excess body fat with ease. You don’t need a fast metabolism or a revved-up metabolism. You need a healthy one. 

Remember you can lose weight, achieve glowing health, and never stress about your weight again, we just need to repair your metabolism first with the Freese Method!
