The Truth About Metabolism After 40
Why it changes, and what you can do about it
The most common thing I hear from clients is some version of “my metabolism just isn’t what it used to be.”
It’s rarely true in the way people mean it. What actually changes after 40 is muscle mass, daily movement, sleep quality, stress and protein intake, and every one of those is something you can do something about.
This is the version I give my clients: no detox, no cleanse, no miracle supplement. Four fundamentals, the numbers behind each one, and what to do first.
What's inside
- Why adults lose 3–8% of muscle per decade without strength training, and what that costs you
- A protein target you can actually hit, with a chart by body weight
- Why total daily movement may matter more than your workout
- How sleep quietly drives hunger, cravings and recovery
