This webinar took place on Thursday, November 21, 2019 from 2-3 p.m. ET.

Many factors impact one’s metabolism, some of which can be controlled (this may require a reality check) and some cannot (this may require the acceptance of a “new normal” over time). Considerations that impact metabolism include sleep, caloric intake and quality, stress-related hormones, alcohol intake, and weekday vs weekend habits. Varying types of exercise such as resistance training, interval training, and unstructured general movement also have differing metabolic benefits. Muscle loss, metabolic adaptation, and plateaus can affect progress for those with weight management-related goals, as can misinterpreting weight loss for fat loss.

Sohailla Digsby, RDN, LD, CPT, international speaker, RD, and fitness pro reviews the current research, strategies, and practical routines that will help RDs and their clients maximize metabolic health and enhance comprehensive wellness.

Learning Objectives

After completing this continuing education course, nutrition professionals should be able to:

  1. Understand the role different types of exercise plays in boosting metabolism, such as resistance training and high intensity interval training (HIIT).

  3. Evaluate metabolic adaptation research and macronutrient research for muscle preservation.
  4. Determine and explain the causes of plateaus as they relate to food, exercise and emotions, and implement the appropriate course of action.
