I'm Dr. Andy Galpin, a professor and director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University. With this podcast, my goal is to help you better understand and maximize your own physical and mental performance, leveraging my two decades of experience with elite performers, including Olympians and world champions across numerous sports. The goal is to cover a range of tools, technologies, and strategies designed to help everyone—from beginners to record-breaks, and everyone in between. While not all of us are elite athletes—myself included—there are countless lessons and tools we can learn from those performing at the highest levels. And remember, as legendary coach Bill Bowerman stated, \"If you have a body, you are an athlete.\" If you're not already, I hope you'll consider starting to train and recover like one.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T18:17:09.612365+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078"},"episode":{"title":"How to Boost Your Metabolism & Burn Fat","slug":"how-to-boost-your-metabolism-burn-fat","published_at":"2025-02-05T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078/how-to-boost-your-metabolism-burn-fat","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/perform-with-dr-andy-galpin-6754078","url":"https://performpodcast.com/how-to-boost-your-metabolism-burn-fat","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/SCIM3046868535.mp3?updated=1738734743","summary":"In this episode, I discuss science-supported methods to boost metabolism and maintain sustainable fat loss. I explain the key components of total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and why some people seem to stay naturally lean with little effort. Using the three I’s—Investigate, Interpret, and Intervene—I explain how to assess your metabolism and make changes to improve it. I describe various behavioral, exercise, nutrition, and supplement-based approaches to enhance metabolism in both the short and long term. I also explain how factors such as age, gender, and body composition impact metabolism and discuss the underlying mechanisms, helping you better evaluate products that claim to “speed up metabolism.” Even if fat loss isn’t your goal, increasing metabolism offers numerous health and longevity benefits for people of all ages and fitness levels.
