Did you know that you can improve your overall metabolism?
Now’s a good time of year to set some health and wellness goals for 2023. Following a nutritious eating plan, engaging in daily physical activity, staying hydrated and getting a good night’s sleep are all part of the plan. I think a faster metabolism is something we all would love to achieve, especially as we age. Since incorporating some simple, positive lifestyle changes along with taking certain Thorne supplements have helped me boost my metabolism, I thought I’d share them with you. Read on for the details.
Below are my Top Tips to Boost Your Metabolism
1. Stay hydrated - Drink water. We all know we should be drinking lots of water—about half your body weight in ounces per day is recommended. I like to enhance the taste of my water, so I use Thorne’s collagen + or drink naturally flavored infused waters.
2. Consume fiber – Many delicious and healthy foods are high in fiber. I love to add chia seeds to my smoothies and yogurt, grab a handful of almonds when I’m on the go, eat lots of veggies that include avocados and artichokes.
3. Exercise - Include both cardio and strength training. It's important to move your body daily. I try to walk 10,000 steps a day and get them in any way I can—even if it means walking around my living room in circles while on calls or answering texts and emails. I get in my strength training by practicing Pilates and Yoga.
4. Eat protein at every meal – I like to eat eggs for breakfast (when not intermittent fasting), a mixed green salad with tuna or chicken breast for lunch, and switch from a variety of grass-fed meats and fish for dinner.
5. Drink green tea or coffee - Caffeine can help temporarily boost metabolism. Drinking green tea also promotes fat burning.
6. Get a good night’s sleep – Getting sufficient, high-quality sleep supports metabolic health. It also plays an important role in helping your body maintain its optimal metabolic rate, making it easier to lose (or stay the same) weight.
7. Take Thorne Supplements that support a healthy metabolism- My favorites are listed below. Click on the links for more info and to order!
A key supplement designed to optimize fat metabolism and body composition. It combats the slowing metabolism that comes with age and excessive stress levels that make weight management challenging.
This multivitamin/mineral complex comes in a great-tasting vanilla/cinnamon flavor that I love adding to a warm beverage or mixing into my water. This unique powder enhances fat burning while supporting healthy blood sugar and lipid levels.
This probiotic supports your gut while improving weight management, waist circumference, or body mass index. My entire family takes this one daily!
Another important supplement I love having in my arsenal, this fish oil supplement is helpful for weight management by promoting a healthy insulin response.
Studies have shown that Berberine can be effective in helping maintain a healthy weight, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. I added this one to my supplement regimen this past year!
Support your body’s natural aging process and cellular metabolism with this powerhouse of a supplement featuring nicotinamide riboside. This one is great for any baby boomer or gen-x-er!
Sleep+ discs dissolve in water into a lightly sweetened blueberry-flavored potion that help you unwind, fall asleep, stay asleep, and feel refreshed upon waking! Achieving deep and restorative sleep promotes overall metabolic health. I take as needed but they are safe to use every night.
