Your Metabolism Isn't Broken, It's Adapting

Have you ever felt like your body stopped responding?

You've cleaned up your diet.

You're exercising.

You're doing all the "right things."

Yet your energy is low, your weight won't budge, and your body feels stuck.

In this episode of the Being Hohl Podcast, Dr. Dani Hohl explores a different perspective:

What if your metabolism isn't broken?

What if it's adapting?

Together, we unpack metabolism through the physical body, energy body, and emotional body—exploring how stress, hormones, thyroid function, digestion, inflammation, and nervous system regulation all influence the body's decision to spend or conserve energy.

Because metabolism isn't just about calories.

It's about communication.

It's about survival.

And it's about understanding why your body is making the choices it's making.

🔑 The Core Shift

Your metabolism is not broken.

It is responding.

Responding to:

• Stress
 • Sleep
 • Hormones
 • Digestion
 • Inflammation
 • Nutrient availability
 • Emotional load
 • Your environment

The goal isn't to force your metabolism.

The goal is to create an environment where your body no longer feels the need to conserve energy.

🌿 The Being Hohl Perspective

At Being Hohl, we don't ask:

"How do we force the body to burn more?"

We ask:

👉 "Why is the body choosing to conserve energy?"

Because symptoms are communication.

And understanding that communication changes everything.

Have you ever felt like your body stopped responding? You've cleaned up your diet, you started exercising, you cut calories, you tried intermittent fasting, you drank more water, you bought the supplements, and yet the scale won't move. Your energy isn't improving, you feel exhausted all the time, you gain weight easier than you used to, you lose muscle faster than you used to, and maybe you've started wondering what is wrong with me. Or maybe you've even been told, it's your age, it's your hormones, your metabolism just slows down. Welcome to getting older. Today I want to challenge that entire idea because I don't believe your metabolism is broken. I believe your metabolism is adapting. And that distinction changes everything. Because if it's broken, you have to fix it. If it's adapting, you have to understand why. Welcome back to the Being Whole podcast. I am Dr. Danny Hole, and today we are talking about why your metabolism isn't broken. And just like every episode in this series, we're going to look at it through the physical body, the energy body, and the emotional body, because metabolism is much bigger than calories. Metabolism is communication. Metabolism is adaptation. Metabolism is survival. Let's start with the biggest misconception. Most people think metabolism means how fast I burn calories, right? That is not metabolism. Metabolism is every chemical reaction happening inside your body. Every second of every day. It's energy production, repair, detoxification, hormone production, brain function, immune regulation, cellular communication, temperature regulation, muscle building, fat burning, digestion, healing, reproduction, literally everything. Your metabolism is not one thing. It's the sum of a thousand different processes all working together, which means when metabolism changes, the body is making decisions. Okay, your metabolism is not a weight loss system. Your metabolism is a survival system. Now let's talk about the body's primary job. Okay, that is survival. And this is where everything starts to make sense, in my opinion. Okay, your body's primary job is not looking lean, fitting into old genes, having abs, hitting a goal weight, right? Your body's primary job is survival. Its goal is to simply keep you alive. Every system in the body asks one question. Do we have enough resources to keep going? Resources means food, nutrients, sleep, energy, safety, connection, recovery. When resources are abundant, the body spends energy. When resources feel scarce, the body conserves energy. This is the foundation of metabolic adaptation. Okay, the body is always trying to protect you, even when it feels like it's working against you. Now let's connect this to the episodes that we've already discussed. Okay, remember cortisol. Cortisol is not bad, it's protective. But chronic cortisol changes metabolism. When cortisol remains elevated, the body interprets the environment as stressful, and a stressed body does not prioritize fat loss. A stressed body prioritizes survival. Okay, this can look like increased hunger, increased cravings, blood sugar instability, muscle breakdown, fat storage, sleep disruption, energy conservation. Now, let's talk about the science for a second. Cortisol increases glucose availability. Originally, this was useful, right? You needed fuel to survive a threat. But chronic cortisol creates a body that is constantly believing it must prepare for a threat, which means store energy, protect resources, conserve fuel. The body stores energy when it doesn't trust the future. Now, in one of the last few episodes, we talked about the thyroid. The thyroid is not simply a gland, it is one of the body's primary energy regulators. So when the body perceives chronic stress, thyroid output often shifts. Conversion decreases, reverse T3 increases, cellular output slows down, and suddenly energy decreases, temperature decreases, motility decreases, recovery decreases. This is when most people start to think my thyroid is broken. But often the body is simply lowering output. Kind of like turning down a dimmer switch. Okay, your body doesn't always need more fuel. Sometimes it needs a reason to stop conserving it. Now let's talk about insulin. Insulin has become one of the most misunderstood hormones in health, and insulin is not the enemy. Okay, insulin's job is to move energy into cells. Without insulin, you die. The problem is not insulin itself. The problem is what happens when cells stop responding appropriately. Okay, this is what's called insulin resistance. And insulin resistance is not usually a random event. It's often the result of stress, sleep deprivation, chronic inflammation, nutrient overload, physical inactivity, mitochondrial dysfunction. The body begins protecting itself from excess energy. Insulin resistance is often a protective adaptation, not a personal failure. Now, let's talk about when there's a missing conversion, right? Let's talk about the mitochondria for a second, because this, I, in my opinion, may be one of the most important sections of this episode. Most people think metabolism happens in the gym or the kitchen. Metabolism happens in your cells, specifically your mitochondria. Mitochondria are your cellular power plants. They convert food and oxygen into ATP. ATP is usable energy. Every symptom we've discussed in this entire series so far can be connected back to your mitochondria. Cortisol affects mitochondria. Inflammation affects mitochondria, thyroid affects mitochondria, blood sugar affects mitochondria, toxins affect mitochondria, nutrient deficiencies affect mitochondria. When mitochondria become overwhelmed, the body reduces output. Not because it's broken, because it's protecting itself. Okay, your body cannot spend energy that it cannot produce. Now let's connect it to the previous episode. Your gut. The body cannot create energy from food that it can't digest. Poor digestion means poor absorption, poor amino acid availability, poor mineral status, poor hormone production, poor detoxification, poor energy production. This is why metabolism is not separate from gut health. The body cannot run high performance software with low quality fuel delivery. The body can only build with what it's able to absorb. Now, in traditional Chinese medicine, this conversion sounds very different. Okay, Chinese medicine doesn't talk about metabolism, it talks about fire. Yang, transformation, vitality, the ability to convert one thing into another. Food into energy, experience into wisdom, stress into resilience. When yang declines, coldness increases, fatigue increases, motivation decreases, digestion weakens, weight often accumulates. Okay, the body is not failing to burn energy, the body is losing the ability to transform it. Now let's go deeper. Okay. Have you ever noticed how many people with metabolic issues describe themselves similarly? Exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, disconnected, numb. Okay, this isn't random. The emotional body follows the physical body, and the physical body follows the emotional body. Eventually, the body stops pushing. Not because it's weak, but because it's trying to conserve. This emotional pattern can sound like I can't keep doing this, I'm carrying too much, I don't have anything left, I'm surviving, but not living. Metabolic slowdown is often a physical reflection of emotional depletion. Okay, and this is where I this is the part where I kind of lose some people. All right, so let's talk about why most weight loss approaches fail. Most weight loss strategies focus on eating less, exercising more, trying harder. But if the body already believes that resources are scarce, what happens? The body adapts, energy decreases, hunger increases, recovery decreases, hormones shift, muscle is sacrificed, and eventually the body pushes back. The body always wins a survival argument. Now let's talk about how we assess this at being whole. Okay, so this is where the bioresonance work becomes so valuable because we aren't just asking how much do you weigh? We're asking why is the body conserving energy? We assess stress patterns, adrenal patterns, thyroid patterns, mitochondrial stress, digestive function, detoxification, inflammatory burden, emotional stress patterns, and Chinese medicine energetics. Because weight gain is rarely the problem, it's often the symptom. Now, if you know me, you know that I'm all about the free tips. Now, this is your reminder, this is not medical advice, this is for educational purposes only. If you have specific concerns, you need to consult with your medical professional. Okay? But let's talk about what actually helps improve your metabolism. And before I do, I want to be very clear. The goal is not to force your metabolism, the goal is not to trick your metabolism, the goal is not to hack your metabolism. The goal is to create an environment where your body no longer feels the need to conserve energy. Because the body increases output when it feels safe enough to do so. Okay? Number one, stabilize blood sugar. Because every blood sugar crash is a stress signal. So let's talk about this. Most people think blood sugar is only important if you're diabetic. Absolutely not true. Incorrect. Okay, blood sugar is one of the fastest ways your body determines whether resources are available. When blood sugar crashes, your brain perceives a threat. Cortisol rises, adrenaline rises, the body shifts into resource protection. This is why people experience hanger, afternoon crashes, sugar cravings, energy dips, brain fog, anxiety. The body is trying to restore stability. So what does this look like? Eat protein within the first hour of waking up, especially before you drink caffeine. If you know me, that's not the first time you've heard me say that. Do not drink caffeine on an empty stomach. Okay? Protein before caffeine and protein within the first hour of waking up. Include protein, fat, and fiber at meals. Avoid living on coffee until noon. Please eat something. Avoid skipping meals if you're already dysregulated. This is where I really made the TikTok world mad because I talked about how intermittent fasting isn't for everyone. It's not. Okay? Avoid skipping meals if you're already dysregulated. That doesn't mean you can't do intermittent fasting later on down the line. I know people have beautiful results, but just don't do it yet. Okay, if you're already dysregulated, it's going to put more stress on your body. That's not what we're going for here. And prioritize minerals and hydration. Now, if you haven't heard me talk about minerals yet, a couple different things. Good quality Celtic salt, Baja Gold Sea salt, something like that, directly in the mouth, chew it up and drink some room temperature lemon water or warm lemon water if your stomach can handle it. The water that we are drinking is chronically depleted in minerals. The minerals help your body, well, one, we need them, but two, you also need the water to be absorbed into your muscles, your tissues, your cells. Okay, so if you find that you are simply drinking water and peeing it out, you're not actually hydrating yourself. Minerals are critical for literally everything in your body. Okay, so prioritize minerals and hydration. Let's talk about why this matters. Stable blood sugar tells the body we have fuel, we are not in an emergency, I don't need to conserve. Blood sugar stability is one of the fastest ways to create metabolic safety. Number two, support sleep. Because metabolism is built during recovery. Sleep is huge. Okay, people often think metabolism is improved through activity, but much of metabolic repair happens during recovery. During your sleep, cortisol resets, insulin sensitivity improves, growth hormone increases, cellular repair occurs, inflammation decreases, and then mitochondrial repair happens too. So when your sleep is poor, the body interprets that as stress, which means higher cortisol, poorer blood sugar control, increased hunger, reduced recovery, greater energy conservation. So what does this look like? Get morning sunlight within the first hour of waking. At the end, I'll tell you what my morning routine looks like. Okay, and it's like 15 or 20 minutes. It's nothing crazy. Um you can go to bed at a consistent time. Your body likes consistency, it likes predictability. Reduce bright lights at night, limit stimulating content before bed, scary movies, TV, doom scrolling, and create a wind-down ritual. Sleep tells your body it is safe enough to repair. A tired body rarely chooses to increase metabolic output. Number three, build muscle. Because muscle is a metabolic asset, and this is one of the biggest reasons I care about resistance training. Muscle is not just about appearance. Muscle is one of the body's largest glucose sinks. It improves insulin sensitivity, glucose disposal, mitochondrial function, stability, and resilience. Muscle gives the body somewhere useful to put energy. What does this look like? Resistance training two to five times a week. Prioritizing progress overload, eat enough protein to support repair, and focus on consistency over intensity. Now, sometimes people come to me and they are in complete fatigue mode. So the goal is not doing like crazy HIIT workouts or all of this stuff. Like you can go to the gym and simply do body weight exercises to start. You can do the machines at a super gentle amount of weight. You do not have to go and do intense stuff. Okay, and your scan will tell me if your body wants that or not. But more muscle gives the body confidence that energy has a purpose. Okay, so muscle is not just strength, it's metabolic security. Number four, reduce chronic stress because survival mode suppresses output. Let's connect everything we've talked about. Okay, when the body perceives chronic stress, it prioritizes survival. And survival mode is expensive. The body begins reducing thyroid output, digestion, reproduction, recovery, healing, not because it hates you, because it's trying to protect you. So what does this look like? Creating pauses throughout your day. Pause literally five minutes. If it's nice out, take your shoes off and go stand in the grass. If you're at work and you can't do that, simply pause five minutes. Nice long exhales tells your body that it's safe, gets you to calm down, check in with your body, do a body scan. We teach all this stuff in my course. You can also reducing overstimulation, energy drinks, coffee throughout the day, um, a lot of screen activity, just a high-paced environment, right? See if there's areas where you can reduce overstimulation. At the very least, couple it with those pauses, right? Get outside regularly. Take five minutes and please go get outside. It does truly help. I tell everybody, if you're a client, you know I say it a thousand times. The work that I'm telling you to do is simple, but I know it is not easy. And because it's so simple, it's very easy for you to tell yourself, eh, it won't matter, I won't do it. I promise you, if it's important to you, you will find a way. And your body will thank you. Practice breath work. Now, one of my favorite apps, um, and I'm not sponsored by them, it's literally one of my favorites, and I use it, I would say probably three times a week, if I'm being completely honest. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It depends on where I'm at in my cycle, but I use it roughly three times a week. Um, I'll link it in the show notes, and I think if you click on that link, you get 30 days for free. But it's an app called Open, and why I like it is because every morning it gives you a short guided meditation, a short breath work, gentle body weight movements or lightweights, and a sound bath. So you can get a beautiful morning routine, and you don't have to do all four of those things, um, but you can get a really beautiful morning routine in like 30 to 40 minutes. Um, develop a nervous system regulation practice, mindset or um, oh my gosh, what am I gonna say? Meditation, mindset practice, meditation, breath work, prayer, I don't care what you call it, drop into your body. The last thing is something that I think is kind of plaguing our generation. Stop consuming content every waking moment. If you come home from work and you turn on the TV and during commercial breaks you find yourself reaching for your phone, your body is stuck in survival mode. Okay, if you constantly need to distract yourself, that is a sign that your body is stuck in survival mode. Learning stillness, learning how to I was talking about this with a client the other day. Like, I remember going and visiting my grandpa, and I would pull in the driveway. It didn't matter if it was me, anyone, right? We would pull in the driveway and he'd be sitting on his front porch, binoculars next to him, ready to watch the birds, bird feeders all around, ceiling fan on, and just just sitting, watching the traffic go by, watching the storm roll in. And like when you're younger, you don't even think about it. And now I'm I'm not even 40 yet, but I'm literally that old person. I love coffee on my front porch in the morning. I love sitting on the porch and watching the rain come in, sun, birds, like my ferns, all just all the things. Finding a way to create stillness within your day, and it doesn't have to be hour-long, crazy things, right? Find five minutes throughout your day to create stillness. Drop into your body, check how you're doing, check how you're feeling, check if there's stress that you need to release. Your nervous system is critical to any type of health goal that you have. The body spends energy when it feels safe, okay? And you cannot force a body out of survival mode. You have to teach it safety. Number five, support digestion. Because energy starts with absorption. You are not what you eat. Don't come for me. Just give it a second. You are what you absorb. Okay, the body cannot make energy from nutrients that it cannot access. Poor digestion means poor amino acids, poor minerals, poor vitamins, poor hormone production, poor detoxification, poor recovery. Okay, what does this look like? Too thoroughly. Eat in a calm state. Even if you have to like eat on the go in between appointments, pause for a few minutes. Like, literally pull over, park somewhere safe, pause while you're eating. If you're at home, sit. Pause. Don't distract yourself by eating in front of the TV. Okay, drop into your body. Again, create moments of stillness. Support bowel regularity. You have to be having bowel movements at least once a day and without the stimulation of caffeine. Okay, if you are only having a bowel movement after your cup of coffee, you are chronically constipated. Okay, constipated doesn't have to mean you're going every day. It means it takes stimulation in order to go. We'll talk about that more in another episode. Um, walking after meals. Take a short walk after your meals. You're gonna hear this a thousand times. Prioritize protein and then avoid rushing your meals. The body cannot build energy from materials that it never receives. You have no idea how many people come to me and they are chronically malnourished even though they are eating the most beautiful diets. If your body's not ready and capable and willing to receive it, there you go. Absorption is a metabolic process. Number six, improve recovery. Because more is not always better. This is especially important for the high achievers. Okay, many people are trying to earn their health more workouts, more fasting, more supplements, more restriction, more discipline. But recovery is where adaptation occurs. What does this look like? Schedule recovery intentionally. Take rest days, walk instead of always doing intense exercise. Please prioritize joy and connection. Find something that you love doing and give yourself permission to do it every day, even if it's just five minutes. I don't care if it's basket weaving, I don't care if it's window painting, I don't care, I don't care what it is. If it well, I do care. Do something safely, okay? But, and don't do anything illegal. Find something that brings your soul joy and do it every day for at least five minutes. Self-care and joy is not something you earn, it's something you do and you prioritize. And then allow space for your nervous system to downshift. I used to be the person that came home from work and I would sit in my car for 15 minutes, usually sometimes more, before I could even go into my house. Not because I was avoiding my family, not because I didn't want to be there, because I started to downshift after forcing my way through my entire day. Okay, when you build space throughout your day and you still build space for the downshift, it doesn't end up in like a dissociation state. The body doesn't become stronger during stress, it becomes stronger during recovery. Recovery is not laziness, it is biology. Number seven, restore metabolic trust. And this is the part almost nobody talks about. The body is constantly gathering information. Do we have enough food? Do we have enough sleep? Do we have enough safety? Do we have enough support? Do we have enough energy? And based on those signals, it decides how much energy it is willing to spend. So from the physical body, this looks like adequate nourishment. So many people are coming to me undereating. Calories in does not always equal calories out. Okay, that is not that is not deep enough. Adequate recovery. You have to give your body time to recover. Adequate movement. I know you're tired, I know you're exhausted, I know it's hard. Adequate movement, go for a walk, gentle body weight, go to the gym, whatever that looks like for you, getting adequate movement and adequate nutrients. 80% of the time you should be eating a whole foods diet, 20% of the time, date night, treat yourself, right? It cannot be always on. You do have to sometimes eat food that's not organic. I am the first one to tell you that when my husband and I have a date night, we are absolutely sharing a piece of lemon cheesecake. It's happening. And you're not gonna ever tell me no. There's nothing you could tell me that would make me not want to eat that cheesecake. It's happening. Okay, but you do have to eat adequate nutrients. 80% of the time, whole food diet. Protein, healthy fats, fiber. You're eating the carbs, pair the carbs with protein and healthy fats, adequate nutrients. Okay, your body cannot create energy when it's malnourished and malabsorbing. Okay, so from the energy body, this looks like restoring metabolic fire, reducing stagnation, supporting flow, and building vitality. So stop drinking the smoothies, especially in the morning. Stop drinking ice water or cold things all day, every day. Again, ask my clients if I see that your metabolic fire is out, I'm telling you warm things. At the time I'm recording this, it's like 100 degrees. I am well aware of how that sounds drinking room temperature water. But even on a 100 degree day, you will not catch me drinking ice water. And you can even ask my husband, I will yell at him for making ice water. Okay? You have to restore your metabolic fire, and every time you eat or drink cold things, it is putting that fire out. Now, is that for the rest of your life? I would actually hope you would drink room temperature water for the rest of your life, but no. When you have adequate yang energy, it does not mean you can never have anything cold ever again. Okay. Reducing stagnation means we're looking at your liver, your gallbladder, your large intestine, the flow of everything through your body. Is your body capable of absorbing and moving and utilizing? Okay. And then from the emotional body, this looks like moving from survival into trust. Because many people have spent years teaching their body resources are scarce, you are not safe, keep conserving, keep protecting, don't spend energy. And eventually the body listens. What that looks like in your energy body is asking yourself daily, where am I forcing? Where am I restricting? Where am I living in scarcity? Where am I asking my body to trust me? Because the body spends energy when it believes there will be enough for tomorrow. A thousand times a day in the beginning. One hand on your heart, one hand on your stomach, thank you for getting my attention. I am safe, we are safe. A thousand times a day in the beginning. Pause. Okay, the growth happens in the tiny little micro moments before you do the thing you normally do and ask. Notice what you notice you can change. Notice. Thank you for getting my attention. I hear you. I am safe. We are safe. Okay, the body spends energy when it believes there will be enough tomorrow. You have to teach your body safety, and you do this through your physical body, your energy body, and your emotional body. Okay, metabolism is not about burning more. Metabolism is about creating enough safety, nourishment, and capacity that the body is willing to stop conserving. Now I told you that I would I would tell you my morning routine, okay, my dream morning routine. Now, as soon as I wake up, as soon as I open my eyes, thank you, universe, for another day. Thank you, universe, for giving me a body that heals itself. Thank you, universe, for helping me release anything that no longer serves me. Okay, then I get up, activate my lymphatic system, just do a gentle lymphatic um massage, and then I go downstairs, I grab my minerals, put them directly in my mouth, drink my warm lemon water, room temperature lemon water, depends on the day. I take that, go outside, put my feet on the earth, get my body in the sunlight. Sometimes I stand, sometimes I sit, sometimes I meditate, sometimes I do breath work, sometimes I simply exist, just depends. And then I'll come in, I'll make my protein coffee, and I'll go upstairs, turn on some music, get ready, start my day. Then I'll grab like oatmeal or um sometimes we do like breakf breakfast burritos or like the egg muffins, things like that, right? Then when I get to being whole, I'll do sometimes I'll do like a short workout, sometimes I'll go to the gym, um, depends on what day of the week it is, right? Um, sometimes it's bodyweight exercises, sometimes it's gentle stretching. Again, it's just listening to your body and asking your body what it needs that day, and then honoring that. Okay, before we wrap up, I want you to think about something. If your metabolism isn't broken, if your body is actually adapting, then what happens when we change the signals? What happens when we improve communication between the brain and the body? What happens when we improve insulin sensitivity, appetite regulation, inflammation, metabolic flexibility? What happens when we give the body new tools to support healing without losing sight of the bigger picture? Because over the last several episodes, we've been building a foundation together. We've talked about the nervous system, hormones, cortisol, thyroid, gut health, and now metabolism. And hopefully, you've started to see that true healing isn't about chasing symptoms. It's about understanding communication. It's about understanding signals, and it's about understanding what your body is trying to do for you. And that's exactly where we're going next because in the next episode, we are diving into something that is one of the most talked-about topics in health right now. Okay, and we are gonna be talking about something that is coming to being whole, that some people are using and experiencing life-changing results. I cannot wait to tell you what is coming, how excited I am. Um the more I've studied metabolism, hormones, nervous system regulation, and the body's incredible ability to adapt, the more that I've realized that there are tools that can support this journey beautifully when used intentionally and in the right context. Okay, so some very exciting things are coming to being whole, new ways to support healing, new ways to support metabolism, new ways to support longevity, vitality, and whole person wellness. Not because we're abandoning the foundations we built, but because we're building on them. The goal has never been to force your body. The goal has always been to understand it, support it, and help it do what it was designed to do. And what we're gonna talk about in the next episode fits beautifully into that conversation. So, you won't want to miss the next episode. Until next time, remember your body is not broken, your symptoms are not random, and your metabolism is not your enemy. Your body is always communicating. The question is are we listening? Stay curious, stay grounded, and keep becoming the most whole version of yourself.
