What Is Metabolism, Really?

Metabolism is your body’s way of turning food into energy. It powers everything — from your heartbeat and breathing to digesting food and walking your dog. It’s not a single “on/off switch.” It’s more like a team working around the clock.

Here’s how your daily energy use breaks down:

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): ~70% of your energy goes to basic functions (like keeping your heart beating, lungs working, and brain thinking).

• NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): This includes everyday movements — fidgeting, walking to the kitchen, folding laundry.

• TEF (Thermic Effect of Food): Even digesting food burns energy — especially protein.

This means your body is always burning calories, even when you’re resting.

So Why Does It Feel Like Your Metabolism Isn’t Working?

Let’s clear this up: your metabolism isn’t “slow” because you’re lazy or doing something wrong. There are many factors that affect metabolism — most of them outside your control:

• Hormones like insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones

• Aging, which naturally reduces muscle mass over time

• Chronic stress, which can shift how your body stores energy

• Sleep deprivation, which impacts appetite and cravings

• Medications that may influence weight

• Genetics, which play a foundational role in how your body processes energy

If your body has adapted to years of dieting, illness, or stress — it makes sense that it’s doing what it can to protect you.

What Actually Supports a Healthy Metabolism

The good news? You can support your metabolism with realistic, sustainable habits that work with your biology:

🏋️‍♀️ Build (or keep) muscle with strength-based movement

💤 Prioritize sleep — your hormones and metabolism rely on it

🍽 Eat consistently with enough protein and fiber

🧘‍♀️ Manage stress through mindfulness, community, or grounding

🩺 Partner with a provider who sees the full picture

These steps won’t “fix” you — because you’re not broken. But they can help your body feel safer and more supported.

Why Personalized Weight Care Works Better

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for metabolism — because you’re not a formula. At GLEO Wellness, we tailor every step of your care plan to your real life. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, juggling a busy career, or simply feeling stuck, we bring expertise, empathy, and flexibility — all through virtual care across Massachusetts. We use evidence-based tools, like nutrition, behavior change, and medications when appropriate — and always with compassion.

The Bottom Line

If your weight has changed or plateaued, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means your body is doing what it was designed to do — adapt. With the right support, you can work with your metabolism — and build habits that feel sustainable, not punishing.
