  • 8 Systems That Decide Whether Food Becomes Energy or Fat - Why Your Body Stores Instead of Burns | MMP Ep. 248

It’s a metabolic system made up of 8 key players that decide what happens to every bite you eat.In this episode, I break down:- The 8 systems that determine whether your body burns or stores calories — mitochondria, thyroid, liver, adrenals, pancreas, gut, muscles, and hormones.- Why under-eating, overtraining, and stress can shut down your metabolism even when you’re “doing everything right.”- The real reason your body doesn’t feel safe enough to burn fat.- What to do to turn your metabolism back on — no more guesswork, no more punishment.Your body isn’t broken — it’s just responding to how it’s being treated.When you support these 8 systems, your body stops storing and starts trusting you again.✨ You were designed to burn, build, and thrive. Let’s help your body remember that.For more information:Mitochondria https://youtu.be/53znRT5lNq0Thyroid https://youtu.be/uGZuyWrUuMYLiver detox https://youtu.be/b7Vt3Anj_WkCortisol https://youtu.be/3b1hmZQsSEkInsulin https://youtu.be/Wu2wPrkDP-0TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) – Intro: Why Your Body Stores Food as Fat Instead of Fuel(01:30) – The Role of Mitochondria: Your Body’s Power Plants(07:30) – The Thyroid: Your Metabolic Thermostat(13:30) – The Liver: Your Body’s Detox & Energy Command Center(18:15) – Stress & The Adrenals: How Cortisol Stops Fat Burning(25:14) – Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance Explained(29:30) – Gut Health, Muscle Mass & Metabolic Flexibility(35:00) – Hormones: The Conductors of Your Metabolic Symphony(40:05) – Why “Eat Less, Move More” Doesn’t WorkCONNECT WITH ME ONLINE:‣ Book a COMPLEMENTARY CONSULATION and CALORIE CALCULATION call:- how much you should eat🍴- what you should eat 🌮- exercise adjustments🏋🏽‍♀️- lifestyle recommendations🚶‍♀️- specific resources to support you on your journey📕https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‣ Check out our BRAND NEW workout subscription: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.trainerize.me/profile/vitalityoet/?planGUID=b020a7cf27f6453b9d29ca3dc9bbaf37&mode=checkout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‣ Join our community!
