If you’ve been trying to lose weight and feel like your body just isn’t responding, your metabolism might seem like the reason why. While metabolism does play a role, it’s only one part of a much bigger picture that includes things like sleep, muscle mass, movement, and stress. The good news is that many of these factors are within your control — and small, consistent changes can make a big difference. At NiuOla Health, we help you understand how your metabolism works and how to support it with compassionate, personalized care.
