The Freely Rooted Podcast

If learning about the pro-metabolic approach to food and wellness has left you feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. As this lifestyle has grown in popularity, we have seen a number of misconceptions emerge about what the pro-metabolic approach actually is. In this episode, we break down some of the most common missteps we see and offer an alternative point of view that emphasizes individual self-experimentation and reconnecting with your body. We want to help you see how simple and beautiful your metabolic healing journey can be!

Join us as we discuss the following:

• Why the pro-metabolic approach is not black and white
• What factors might draw us to hard and fast rules around food
• Taking radical responsibility for your unique health journey
• The problem with taking health advice too far and ignoring your individual physiology
• Weight when switching to a metabolically supportive way of eating: when you might need to gain, when you might need to lose, and how to know if you’re gaining too much too quickly
• The surprising truth about pursuing expansion in the body over restriction
• Checking our perception of what a woman’s body “should” look like
• Practical tips to implement if you feel you are gaining weight too quickly
• Why it’s important to use your own discernment when learning from “experts”
• Giving yourself grace to unlearn, relearn, and make mistakes in your healing journey
• Moving beyond physical root cause and examining emotional and spiritual influences
