The holiday season is in full force, and for many, this can lead to feelings of exhaustion, burnout, and being rundown. Here’s how to avoid letting this happen.

It is a scientifically proven fact that when the liver becomes burdened, it significantly slows down metabolism.
Did you know that as you age, your metabolism doesn’t actually slow down? Studies show that metabolic rate stays the same from age 20-60. It can drop off after 60 if muscle mass decreases. Contrary to the common misconception that metabolism slows with age, it adjusts to factors like changes in muscle mass rather than a simple slowdown. Instead, it adjusts to your body becoming more toxic, inflamed, and stressed.
