This One Mistake Can Destroy Your Metabolism (And You're Probably Doing It)
Feb 18, 2026
Description
What if everything you've been told about metabolism after 40 is wrong?
In this video, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi reveals the truth about metabolic health and the 6 research-proven levers that can transform how your body burns fat, builds muscle, and produces energy—starting today.
Metabolic health isn't just about weight or blood sugar.
It's your body's engine efficiency, and when optimized, it protects you from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and even Alzheimer's (now called "type 3 diabetes").
The best part? You have MORE control than you think.
THE 6 METABOLIC LEVERS:
Food Quality & Calorie Control - Why whole foods naturally help you eat less
Strategic Carb Timing - When you eat carbs matters as much as how many
Protein at Every Meal - Your metabolic superpower (30-50g per meal)
High-Intensity Training - Burn calories for 24-48 hours post-workout
Meal Timing & Fasting - Stop eating 3 hours before bed for better results
Sleep & Recovery - Poor sleep makes you insulin resistant in ONE night
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
✅ Get your baseline metrics: waist circumference, fasting glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride/HDL ratio
✅ Use the Perfect Plate Method: 1/2 veggies, 1/4 protein, 1/4 healthy carbs/fats
✅ Time-restricted eating boosts metabolism (it doesn't slow it down!)
✅ Short-term fasting actually INCREASES metabolic rate
