    Ask Me Anything: Sweating, Testosterone Fixes & Fasting Mistakes (What Your Body’s Really Telling You) S2 E7

    Send a text Most people think their hormones or metabolism are “broken" But most of the time it’s not a discipline problem — it’s a physiology problem. In this Ask Me Anything episode of The Metabolic Edit, I’m answering three of the most common questions I hear every week from clients: • Which testosterone supplements actually work? • Why don’t I sweat — even in the sauna or workouts? • Why does fasting make me binge instead of lean out? And instead of trendy hacks or expensive stacks, we’re breaking down what actually moves the needle — based on real physiology, clinical experience, and what I see work inside labs and coaching every single day. In this episode, I break down: • What really increases testosterone naturally (and which “test boosters” are mostly hype) • The key minerals and nutrients that quietly tank hormones when you’re deficient • Why not sweating can signal nervous system stress, mineral depletion, or low metabolic output • The hidden reason fasting backfires for so many people • How to use time-restricted eating without triggering cravings or late-night binges • Simple, practical fixes you can start this week 🎧 Resources, tools I trust, and ways to work with me are linked in the show notes.
