Here are the 7 keys to Boosting Your Metabolism

Eat the proper fuel - High-quality carbohydrate-rich whole plants
Eat ENOUGH - The metabolism is like a campfire…. you need to keep stoking it with enough high quality fuel to keep it burning brightly.
Having good micronutrient status - vitamins and minerals are cofactors in enzymatic processes that drive the metabolism.
Having low toxicity status - Toxins directly slow down the metabolic rate, a protective mechanism to keep toxins tucked away in cells where they can't cause tissue damage.
Maintaining balance in the nervous system - Sleep issues and chronic stress can lead to persistent elevated cortisol levels, which pose a burden to the metabolism and lead to weight gain.
Optimal Cellelar Hydration - Dehydrated cells function sub-optimally in many ways, including cellular metabolism.
Balanced Regular Movement - Movement helps but is not the end all be all! Regular movement increases and maintains mitochondrial-rich muscle mass on the body, increasing overall metabolic activity in the body.
