So, people like you and Jane are sent away to suffer. Without thorough metabolic testing, you\u2019re doomed to pick the next diet and exercise program at random, hoping it works and realizing it doesn\u2019t. The unfortunate truth is, if you have a metabolism problem, you won\u2019t respond normally to traditional efforts. In fact:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More exercise can overburden your adrenal glands and halt fat loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating less and\/or cutting carbs can cause low thyroid function and halt fat loss <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating too little dietary fat can shut off sex hormone production and halt fat loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating common food allergens can create inflammation and immune responses decreasing entire body hormone communication and halt fat loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too much high intensity interval training can create adrenal gland fatigue, stop muscle gains, and \u2026 you guessed it\u2026 halt fat loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-intentioned diet and exercise choices can be harmful and result in the very weight gain you\u2019re trying to avoid. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Fix a Slow Metabolism<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first. FREEZE! Before you start changing anything with your diet or exercise routine, you must identify which metabolic breakdowns are causing your problems. Then you can take next steps. Jane, for instance, relied on her metabolism doctor to start an elimination\/rotation diet to identify food sensitivities, a carbohydrate-cycled diet to increase metabolism over time, and a supplement regimen that eliminated yeast overgrowth and assisted with normal hormonal health. The result? Her issues were corrected and 30 pounds were shed easily \u2013 after just 90 days \u2013 and the re-testing proved it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professionally guided programs not only increase your chances for success, they prevent you from trying fads that can cause more harm than good. So, if you suspect a problem with your metabolism, don\u2019t stress, don\u2019t guess, call Twin Cities Metabolism and get the tests.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Meet patient Jane.
