What if you could eat your chips on a high-carb diet without triggering the metabolic switch that tells your body to store, not burn, ordinary cooking fats?Let me explain:)In 1963, physiologist Philip Randle described a metabolic competition happening inside your cells every second of the day: glucose and fat competing for oxidation.And the mechanism is:When glucose availability rises, your body increases a molecule called malonyl-CoA. That molecule inhibits CPT-1 — the transport system long-chain fatty acids use to enter the mitochondria and be burned for energy.In other words: when carbs are abundant, long-chain dietary fats are nudged away from oxidation and toward storage. No bueno.That’s the biochemical basis behind the old idea of “don’t mix high fat with high carb.” Literally every old school body builder will tell you it’s a bad idea and that you’ll get fat.

It was my birthday yesterday.And for the first time in years, I’m not afraid of ageing anymore.Because ageing is optional.I simply opted out.Let me explain ageing (NEVER) to you👇🏻Studying bioenergetics taught me that ageing is not just getting older because time is passing.It’s what happens when cells progressively lose the ability to produce energy efficiently.Less ATP, more stress hormones, more inflammation = more degeneration.The body shifts from repair mode → survival mode.And eventually people start calling that normal ageing when it really isn’t.Veronica’s Metabolic Playground

Your stress tolerance is a metabolic measurement, not a character trait.This is exactly why I keep telling you to stop spiking your cortisol for nothing and start building the metabolism that lets you absorb stress instead of collapsing under it.Let me explain stress to you.Stress is NOT simply what happens to you. It is what happens when your metabolism can’t afford the demands placed on it.Two people can face the exact same event: one absorbs the impact and carries on, while the other is overwhelmed. The difference isn’t the event itself but the metabolic state of the organism.In biological terms, stress is a demand placed on the body. When energy production can meet that demand, the experience can be manageable or even stimulating.But when the body can’t rise to the moment, it falls back on emergency systems: adrenaline, cortisol, inflammation, and sometimes learnedVeronica’s Metabolic Playground

“I can’t see you tonight, I’ve got plans”The plans:Legs up the wall!! One of the most underrated things you can do for your body (all the hot girls are doing it btw): zero equipment, cost or effort, and it works on nearly every level that actually matters.“Uh but why would I do that?” I’ll tell you why:When your legs are elevated above your heart, gravity does the work your sluggish lymphatic system is struggling with.Venous blood and lymph move back toward the torso, reducing swelling in the feet and ankles, relieving tired legs after hours of sitting or standing, and improving lymphatic drainage.Stagnant circulation promotes stress signals in your tissues. Fluid that isn’t moving freely = poor tissue oxygenation and waste buildup. Elevating the legs is one of the simplest ways to reverse that.This position naturally shifts your body into parasympathetic mode: the stateVeronica’s Metabolic Playground

Back on my anti-ageing bullshit:• sugars, salt, calcium for breakfast • red light in the eye balls with Aurabiōm • baking soda and magnesium bath • oxtail soup • collagen always paired with vit C • whimsy, playfulness • making marshmallows • hibiscus tea (with collagen) • one extra dirty martini a day • sauna • resistance training • mushrooms, carrot salad • thiamine, magnesium, D&K • encapsulated copper peptide maxxing • boundaries, saying no often • fresh blow out • lip filler (kidding) • coconut oilVeronica’s Metabolic Playground

This is the soup I’ve eaten most days for the last 2 years. I call it Wrinkle Injection Soup.I batch-make the broth and just pull it out of the fridge each evening, toss in the trimmings, and it’s ready in about 20 minutes of simmering; almost no work.Every ingredient is carefully chosen with anti-ageing in mind. It gives me the most relaxing sleep, calms my nervous system, supports metabolism and stress hormone clearance, and actively fights premature ageing and wrinkles.Recipe above 💌

Dr Alexis is radiating the Aurabiōm bottle with red and near-infrared light before using the product to get her amazing results — and I’ll be trying this hack ASAP!!! (She also uses her red + NIR device after applying Aurabiōm, but we’re already doing this 💙💙💙)Still very much overwhelmed reading these things about my product 😭😭😭💌

Added sardines back into my diet after 3years of avoiding them because I thought they were PUFA bombs BUT they’re actually quite low (like egg yolks) What they are is a NUTRITIONAL BOMB. Calcium, collagen, B vits, selenium, vit D &cheap as chips! Criminally underrated superfood Make sure you get your sardines either in water/brine or in extra virgin olive oil. A lot of the trendy tinned fish brands with artsy packaging sadly pack them in seed oils. I usually go for the ones in water, drain them, then add my own good quality EVOO. 👍🏻💌

Mushrooms are actually a cheatcode beauty supplement and you should eat them daily.Let me explain.White button mushrooms contain chitin, an insoluble fibre that gut bacteria cannot ferment.Like raw carrot fibre, it passes through the intestine acting as a mechanical broom in your guts, swiping out endotoxin.But mushrooms do something extra: they contain compounds that actively break up bacterial biofilms—the protective slime layer bacteria build to resist being cleared out.People report improved digestion and clear skin when they start eating well-cooked mushrooms a few times a week. This has been my experience also.Protocol: • Cook/boil thoroughly for an hour (raw mushrooms contain agaritine; a mild toxin neutralised by heat)• 1/2 cup cooked white button mushrooms 3-4x per week• Chop and add coconut oil or EVOO with salt• Eat alongside or before a mealVeronica’s Metabolic Playground

Glycine, methylene blue, progesterone, vitamin K, thyroid T3 have shown the ability to reverse the ageing phenotype —in laboratory studies using human cells.All these are pro-metabolic and improve/fix mitochondrial function.💌
