As we move into the month of October, many of us feel a shift: cozy sweaters, shorter daylight, comfort foods calling our name. It’s the perfect time to lean into wellness habits that give your metabolism a gentle nudge, support your digestion, and set you up for the holiday season with confidence. Whether you’re looking to maintain weight, support digestive comfort, or just feel more energized, putting a few smart strategies in place now can help you see results in the long run.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to boost your metabolism, support digestion, and make smart wellness adjustments for fall—plus how our Sexy & Trim Wellness Kit can be one part of your wellness toolkit.
Revving Your Metabolism with Smart Habits
When people talk about metabolism, they often think “burn more calories,” but truly it’s about how efficiently your body converts the foods you eat into fuel instead of storing it, how active your systems are, how your digestion and absorption work and even how well your gut supports those processes.
A well-functioning metabolism helps maintain healthy body weight, supports energy levels, and even influences how you recover from physical activity. As we age or slow down activity (which often happens when the weather cools), metabolism tends to decline unless we consciously do something.
Smart habits for boosting metabolism:
-
Increase non-sedentary time: Walk more, take stairs, get up from your desk regularly. Even modest activity helps.
-
Prioritize strength or resistance exercise: Muscle tissue is metabolically active tissue so maintaining lean muscle supports higher metabolic rate.
-
Eat with intention: Don’t skip meals or severely restrict your calorie intake. Instead, focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods and regular meals to keep your metabolism up and running.
-
Support digestion & absorption: After all, you can eat well, but if your digestion or nutrient absorption is compromised, your “metabolic engine” may not get the fuel it needs.
Here’s where our product Metaboliz can be a helpful ally. By providing targeted support for energy-boosting and metabolic support, it can assist alongside lifestyle shifts.
Digestion & Gut Health: The Hidden Pillar No One Talks About
One of the lesser-talked-about aspects of weight support and metabolism is digestion. Specifically how well your gut breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and supports elimination and metabolic balance.
Your gut microbiome and digestive health influence metabolism, immune function, and nutrient absorption. A microbiome that is balanced and a digestive tract that is functioning well are foundational to overall wellness.
When digestion is sluggish, or when you have bloating, gas, irregular elimination or low enzyme activity, your body may not extract the full value from your meals and may struggle with maintaining optimal metabolic function.
Here are some steps to support your digestion:
-
Choose high-fibre, plant-rich meals. Fibre supports gut health, feeds beneficial bacteria, and can support metabolic health
-
Stay hydrated: Water is critical for digestion and elimination and lack of fluid slows digestion.
-
Practice mindful eating: Slow down, chew well, pause between bites. These small, mindful changes help digestion begin more optimally.
-
Support with targeted supplements: This is where Probiotic Renu comes in. A well-formulated probiotic can help maintain the balance of beneficial bacteria, support gut health and digestion, and thereby support your metabolic wellness goals.
Be sure to: include a probiotic daily with your meal, include digestive enzyme support (Sexy and Slim) when you have heavier or more complex meals, and combine that with a fibre-rich plate and movement after meals for best results.
Fall Wellness Strategy: Nourish, Move, Reset
Autumn has its own rhythm and leveraging this rhythm can give your metabolism and digestion a helpful seasonal boost.
Nourish with seasonal, metabolism-friendly foods:
-
Add in sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, apples, pears, nuts and seeds which all provide fibre, phytonutrients and slower-digesting carbohydrates.
-
Use up those warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, turmeric to gently support digestion and circulation.
-
Reduce reliance on heavier comfort foods; instead choose comfort that still supports metabolism (e.g., baked squash, lean protein, and greens).
-
Don’t skip protein! Adequate protein supports muscle maintenance and satiety which helps metabolic rate and digestive health.
Move with intent:
-
Embrace outdoor walks while the weather is cooler. Fresh air and movement stimulate circulation, digestion, and support a healthy metabolism.
-
Incorporate strength training or body-weight work 2-3 times/week to maintain muscle mass.
-
After meals, go on a short walk. This helps digestion, supports gut motility and helps your metabolic pulse stay active.
Use these reset habits as needed:
-
If summer indulgences or lax routines left you feeling slower, now is the time for a gentle reset, not a harsh diet.
-
Set simple goals: 10 minutes of movement after dinner, including a probiotic and digestive enzyme into your routine daily, and/or focus on one high-fibre plant at each meal.
-
