Slow Metabolism or Metabolic Abuse? What No One Has Ever Told You

Have you ever been told that you're not losing weight because you have a slow metabolism? Or that your performance is stuck because of genetics? In this episode of Sons of the Resistance, Rubén talks with Claudio Nieto, one of the most brilliant popularizers of physiology and performance, to debunk myths and help you understand, once and for all, how your metabolism works.

Because it's not just about how many calories you consume. It's about how your body interprets what you do, what you eat, how you sleep, and how you train. And yes: you might be the one responsible for your "slow metabolism," due to chronic stress, poor sleep, or accumulated training errors.

Claudio, with his approachable and direct style, explains what metabolism is, how it adapts, and what stimuli speed it up or slow it down. He talks about genetics, epigenetics, the importance of rest, how to train according to your real-world context, and why the "no pain, no gain" approach can lead to burnout rather than progress.

This episode is a masterclass for both coaches and endurance athletes who want to stop improvising and start understanding how to optimize their bodies.
