Bridget Lavin

Metabolism is so much more than just weight—it’s the engine behind our energy, brain function, gut health, and longevity. In this episode, Bridget recaps a powerful talk by Susannah Kerwin, CNP and founder of Tendwell, diving into the hidden ways metabolism shapes our well-being. With metabolic dysfunction on the rise and one in three adults in the U.S. facing prediabetes, it’s clear that supporting metabolism is about more than just diet and exercise. From blood sugar stability to the gut-brain connection, metabolism influences everything from cravings to cognitive function, and even the way our bodies handle stress and toxins.

So how can we take better care of our metabolism? It turns out, small daily choices can have a huge impact on energy, longevity, and resilience. Tune in to learn what might be slowing your metabolism down—and simple, effective ways to keep it thriving.
