If you’re over the age of 30, you might think your metabolism slowed down.

You can’t stay lean eating whatever you want like you did in your 20s.

While this might feel true for you…

Your metabolism actually does not slow down with age.

It’s a myth and limiting belief holding you back from fat loss.

Fat loss is within your control, no matter what age you are, and there’s plenty of evidence to support this claim.

Debunking The Myth

The idea that your metabolism doesn’t slow down is rooted in plenty of research.

For example—a huge study done in 2021 observed 6,400 people from 29 countries, aged 8-95 years old (PMID: 34385400).

They found that as people age, their metabolism remains stable… even during pregnancy.

They concluded that activity levels are far more important than age when it comes to metabolism.

These four meta-analyses point to the same conclusion…

(1) The doubly labeled water method for measuring energy expenditure: what can it tell us about aging? - Speakman, John R. et al. (2016)

This analysis reviewed several high-quality studies with thousands of participants. It concluded that changes in metabolism aren’t because of age, but decreases in activity levels.

(2) The Harris-Benedict equation reevaluated: resting energy requirements and the body cell mass Roza - A.M., & Shizgal, H. M. (1984)

This analysis looked at data from hundreds of subjects across many ages and body compositions. They found that the reason why older people need fewer calories is because they tend to become less active, not because their metabolism is slower.

(3) Energy expenditure and aging - Manini, Todd M. (2010)

This review looked at several studies on how energy use changes as we age. They concluded that the reason why older people need less energy is due to decreased physical activity and muscle loss, not a slower metabolism.

(4) Relationship of genetics, age, and physical fitness to daily energy expenditure and fuel utilization - Ravussin, E., & Bogardus, C. (1989)

This analysis studied how genetics, age, and fitness affect energy use.

It found that genetics and fitness levels have the biggest impact on how many calories you burn, not your age.

So… What’s The Issue?

So if your metabolism didn’t slow down with age…

Why does it feel like fat loss is harder than ever?

Something else could be getting in the way.

Inflammation, poor detox, low hormone clearance, or even genes that make your body store fat more aggressively (such as the UCP1 gene).

These things do not directly cause fat gain…

But they create environments inside of your body that are ideal for it.

If you are unhealthy, you lack energy and vitality…

Making you less likely to stay active and eat healthy.
