Get ready to unravel the dynamic duo of energy and productivity in our lives: stress and metabolism! These two are tightly intertwined, creating a fascinating cause-and-effect web that often catches us by surprise.

Metabolism, the body's incredible energy-conversion process, holds the key to how we process fuel.

They dictate our basal metabolic rate, glucose utilization, blood sugar regulation, energy balance, and even our appetite!

But here's the twist: stress can throw this fantastic metabolic performance off-balance. It disrupts the hormone harmony, potentially causing some energy-related hiccups.

In this episode, I've got your back as I share clever strategies to tame stress's wild ride and minimize its impact on your metabolism. So, you can reclaim your energy, boost productivity, and enjoy a happier, healthier you!

Tune in now and unlock the secrets to managing stress while revving up your metabolism. Get ready to rock your energy levels and conquer your goals with a smile!

Key Terms in this episode: 🎯 Thyroxine from your Thyroid - controls your basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories your body needs for basic functions 🎯 Insulin from your Pancreas - takes glucose from the blood for energy 🎯 Cortisol from your Adrenal gland - stimulates the liver to increase production of blood sugar; helps the body convert fat, protein and carbs into usable energy 🎯 Leptin from your Small Intestine - regulates appetite, energy intake and expenditure 🎯 Grehlin from your stomach - increases appetite Tune in to Energizing Habits with me, Vicky Cleary, for simple strategies and actionable steps across mindset, sleep, stress management, nutrition, movement, and workflow/productivity that can transform your life and help you achieve a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.
