Before you get blood work, take your body temperature. Use this metric to track your metabolic and thyroid output. Learn how inside this post.
Metabolism is a sexy word in the health space. It is a powerful tool inside our body, arguably one of the most powerful in overseeing numerous other functions that determine our outcome.
Of course, metabolism is correlated with weight. Metabolism is the energy center of our body, and energy always begets structure.
The amount of energy you have changes the structure of your biology.
But it isn't just about structure.
Your metabolism changes how your body generates energy and uses it. And that changes every one of your trillion cells, deciphering the outcome.
If you want to get healthy, you have to keep your metabolism in mind. Taking action that supports a healthier energy flow.
The best place to start is to gain a deep understanding of the current state of your metabolic rate. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your health. There are numerous tools to help you do so. This post lists my top five free tools for distinguishing your metabolic output. I highly recommend this quiz to determine your energy threshold.
Two of the other recommendations include tracking your basal body temperature and pulse rate. Both metrics can be used to determine your current energy threshold (metabolic output) and track your changes to determine if they're working for you.
