Metabolism Repair for Women: A Compassionate, Science-Based Guide to Balancing Insulin, Losing Weight, and Improving Health

If you feel tired and hungry all the time—and can’t lose weight—insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility could be why.Through a compassionate lens, Metabolism Repair for Women explores how both eating behavior and energy expenditure are not under conscious control. Instead, they’re subject to the brain’s regulatory mechanism. And if you have metabolic dysfunction (i.e., insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, and/or weight gain), it’s because something is amiss with that regulatory mechanism. (This is the same book as The Metabolism Reset, available in Australia.)As a solution, the book provides a 10-step plan for identifying your personal metabolic obstacles, such as hormonal issues, digestive problems, ultra-processed food, chronic stress, and medications. It then offers actionable strategies for overcoming those obstacles and explains why a simple intervention like fixing your gut can reverberate through your entire system to feel less hungry and burn more energy.Written by a naturopathic doctor with more than 25 years of experience, the book contains up-to-date research, patient stories, and practical advice. It’s your reality-based guide to repairing your metabolism and reclaiming health.Praise for Metabolism Repair for Women"With in-depth knowledge, clinical experience, and compassion, Lara Briden guides us through our metabolic and mindset challenges." ~ Dr. Libby Weaver"This book is a must for women everywhere." ~ Dr. Stacy Sims"Lara Briden effortlessly untangles one of the most complex and (often) shame-laden aspects of women's health.
