Episode Details

What if your metabolism isn't broken… and your weight struggles aren't about willpower?

In today's episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, Dr. Kate Duncan continues Thyroid & Metabolism Month with an important conversation on Metabolism Myths: It's Not About Willpower.

If you've ever felt like your old weight loss strategies no longer work, your energy is lower, your cravings are stronger, or your body feels different than it used to, this episode will help you understand why. Dr. Kate explains how metabolism is influenced by more than calories alone, including thyroid function, hormone changes, perimenopause, blood sugar, insulin, sleep, stress, muscle mass, and metabolic adaptation.

This episode is designed to help women move away from shame and toward strategy. You'll learn why cravings do not mean you are weak, why eating less is not always the answer, why muscle matters for metabolism, and how daily signals like protein, fiber, movement, sleep, and stress support can help the body feel more balanced and supported.
