Why Your Metabolism Feels Stuck — And What You Can Do This Week to Fix It (Indianapolis Wellness Guide)

If you’re feeling frustrated with slow progress, stubborn weight, or low energy, you’re not alone. Many women in Indianapolis tell us the same thing during their Wellness Wednesday consults:

“I feel like my metabolism just shut down.”

The reality?

Your metabolism isn’t broken — it’s responding to your lifestyle, stress load, and nutrient intake.

1. Chronic Stress Slows Metabolism

High cortisol over time leads to fat retention around the midsection, disrupted sleep, cravings, and muscle loss.

2. Most Women Are Undereating Protein

Protein is the building block of metabolism.

Without enough, your body burns fewer calories and loses muscle — which is the engine of your metabolism.

Aim for 100–120g/day, depending on your goals.

3. You’re Not Stimulating Your System Enough

You don’t need harder workouts — you need intentional movement:

2–3 strength sessions/week

6–8k steps/day

Mobility to reduce inflammation

Balanced recovery
