In this episode, Kevin breaks down one of the biggest myths in health and fitness: the idea that metabolism slows down after age 30. Drawing on large-scale research — including a landmark 2021 study published in Science — he explains why your metabolic rate remains stable from age 20 to 60, and what really causes changes in weight, energy, and body composition as we age.

Kevin also dives into the physiology, what’s behavioral, and what’s completely within your control. This is an empowering, research-backed conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like their body was “working against them.”

• The truth about metabolic rate across the lifespan
• What actually changes after 30 (lean mass, NEAT, lifestyle)
• The biggest contributors to mid-life weight gain
• The role of strength training, walking, protein, sleep, and stress management
• How to take ownership of your health at any age

• Pontzer et al., Science (2021) — metabolism stability from age 20–60
• Studies on NEAT and daily energy expenditure
