I wrote Unlock Your Metabolism after I became very ill during the fall of 2009. I had breathed in a fungus (yes…eewww) into my lungs and sinuses which set up an intense inflammatory reaction. I became quite sick, in a great deal of pain and very scared. After several rounds of antibiotics and steroids, my condition became manageable – chronic, but manageable.
During the process of my illness and treatment,
I was unable to exercise as my lung capacity had decreased significantly. Plus I was on multiple rounds of steroids which caused wakefulness and weight gain. 30 pounds to be precise.
Needless to say, being a chubby health coach wasn’t good for business. My confidence suffered along with my belief that my “chronic” condition would ever get better.
I had been told that it would take at least a year for my inflammatory response to lessen to the point that I could lose the excess weight. And that proved to be true. All the diets I had so been in love with prior to my illness didn’t work. Meal replacement didn’t work, although they did help me heal by providing needed nutrition. The latest greatest fat burning pills didn’t work, I tried them all! I even tried HCG injections and while I lost a modest 11 pounds (clap, clap, clap), it wasn’t the spectacular results so many others claim to receive.
So I started researching…and researching…and researching!
And what I learned was stunning. Our metabolism is complicated! It is a complex communication channel that works between your:
- Brain (your nervous system)
- Digestive system (your enteric or intrinsic nervous system)
- Hormones (and there is a ton of them)
- Stress levels (real or imagined)
- Oxidative stress
- And yep… Inflammation levels
There’s a alot more involved but as you can see, metabolism is more complex than how readily your body burns calories.
And I got furious… downright angry… at how dieters are being manipulated by a multi-billion dollar dieting industry. They are taking advantage of – in their own words – a “hungry market”. Yes, that means YOU!
The promises of magic pills and potions that would ‘rev up’ your metabolism are many and alot of them could actually work…IF YOUR METABOLISM IS HEALTHY!!
If it is broken, as mine was… you are flushing your money down the toilet (literally).

Caution: if you metabolism is healthy, if you find it easy to lose weight by adjusting your diet and exercising, this isn’t the best book for you.

- If you are doing the “right” things but aren’t see the results you desire.
- If you are feeling exhausted, tired, stress… and those feeling don’t go way.
- If you are about to cry as you are reading this…
