Here are 9 underrated ways to reprogram your body for fat loss, energy, and peak performance: 🧵
1. Rewire your brain’s control system
Your brain runs on 2 key messengers:
GABA (the brake) & Glutamate (the gas).
When balanced, they improve mood, sleep, and focus.
When imbalanced, they lead to anxiety, brain fog, and poor energy.
2. Restore the GABA/Glutamate balance
You can optimize this system by:
• Reducing blue light at night
• Using magnesium, NAC, L-theanine, lemon balm
• Avoiding excess caffeine, nicotine, grains, and artificial sweeteners
Balance the brain, and the body follows.
3. Boost your mitochondrial power
90% of your body’s energy is made in the mitochondria.
When they're sluggish, your metabolism slows.
You feel tired, gain fat, and lose drive.
Healthy mitochondria = fat-burning, energy, and better performance.
4. Hit your peak heart rate
Train hard at least twice a week.
Short, intense bursts boost your heart health and metabolism.
