Want to speed up your metabolism? Here's what science says about boosting your metabolism. There are numerous evidence-based ways that actually work! But… most of what you've heard is wrong. So, let’s clear up the confusion on what’s bogus, what’s real, and what ‘speeding up your metabolism’ really means - and what it does not! A deep dive into the research with surprising findings: First: You can't actually "speed up" your metabolism. That's like saying you can make your car drive faster when it's parked. What you can do is influence how many "miles" your metabolism drives each day. Here's how it works: Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) has 4 components: 1. Exercise Activity (EAT): 0-30% of calories 2. Non-Exercise Activity (NEAT): 5-30% 3. Thermal Effect of Food (TEF): 8-15% 4. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): 40-80% The research shows there are both acute (temporary; minutes to hours) and chronic (long-term; days to weeks or months) ways to influence these components. Most of the nonsense in this topic comes from people making claims about things that enhance ‘metabolic rate’ acutely - which as you’ll see, is actually quite easy to do. But this is very deceiving because acute increase often means very little in the long-term, especially for outcomes like fat loss, and they aren’t necessarily increasing your metabolism in the way you think (they ramp up RMR, for a few minutes, but then it goes right back down to normal, or even below baseline). So, it’s quite easy to deceive with legitimate science here. That said, let's look at what actually works for acute changes, and by how much: Acute Boosters: 1. Spicy foods (peppers, ginger, chilis, etc.) - Increases RMR by 3-5% - Effect lasts 1-2 hours - Often through capsaicin in chili peppers 2. Cold exposure - Lowering room temp by few degrees - Can lead to significant fat loss over time 3. Caffeine - Increases RMR by 3-11% - Lasts 1-3 hours - Also reduces appetite 4. Green tea - 4-5% RMR increase - Similar duration to caffeine - Compounds with caffeine for better results But here's what's really interesting: The chronic (long-term) changes are what really matter for sustainable results. Research shows 4 key factors for long-term metabolic enhancement: 1. Quality Sleep - Poor sleep reduces RMR - Increases hunger hormones - Can reduce fat loss by 55% - Affects muscle preservation 2. Fish Oil (3g/day) - 14% increase in RMR - 19% increase in fat oxidation - 4% increase in lean mass over 12 weeks 3. Muscle Mass - Each pound burns 6-10 extra calories daily - Primary factor in age-related metabolic decline - Explains up to 80% of RMR variance 4. Exercise - Strength training: +100 cal/day RMR - Cardio: +50-60 cal/day RMR - Combined: +75 cal/day RMR The most effective approach? Combining multiple strategies: - 200 cal from additional exercise - Fish oil + green tea (+25-50 cal) - Protein increase (+45 cal from TEF) - 15-min daily walk (+100 cal) - Small calorie reduction (-80 cal) This approach works because it: - Doesn't crash your metabolism - Preserves muscle mass - Avoids adaptive thermogenesis - Creates sustainable habits The key isn't finding one magic solution - it's stacking small, evidence-based changes. Remember: Your metabolism isn't "fast" or "slow." It's responding to your daily choices in sleep, nutrition, activity, and muscle mass. Focus on these factors consistently, and you'll create lasting metabolic health.

I told @DrAndyGalpin that if him and Dan Garner ever made this course, I’d be the first to buy it. Dunno if I was the first, but I had to be close to it! 🤝🧪🧫

The latest Huberman Lab episode is with legendary producer and author of the book “The Creative Act: A Way of Being,” @RickRubin. The episode focuses on the practical aspects of creativity, including questions and answers from the audience of Rick’s previous Huberman Lab appearance. It’s a conversation that I believe everyone — musician, artist, scientist, teacher, parent, etc. can benefit from because it’s less focused on a particular craft than it is on the mindsets and daily routines that direct our minds toward our greatest levels of unique creativity and personal expression. Listen or watch the full episode with Rick: go.hubermanlab.com/rick-rubin-156…
