Still not convinced? Read some praise from Social Academy graduates:

I’m very hesitant to spend money on things I think I might be able to teach myself. I had just started my website, and a friend told me about Social Academy and mentioned that just talking to Danny-J and Bex had helped her grow her blog. So I decided to give it a shot.

The course paid for itself in the first day! I’ve been able to increase my following in all social media forums, I’ve improved my website with tools I didn’t even know were available, and found ways to make money that I didn’t know existed.

Danny-J and Bex are incredibly funny and supportive. They want to see others succeed and really believe that there is room for all of us at the top. This was money very well spent.

– Emmy Smith

Enrolling in Social Academy with Rebekah and Danny J was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made. I’ve been blogging in some capacity for over a decade, and while it was fun, I had never really progressed to the level that I wanted.

By learning the tips and tricks of the trade that Rebekah and Danny have already learned along the way, I’ve been able to make huge strides in my online presence and have figured out ways to grow my business that had never occurred to me.

In just four weeks of classes my Facebook fans have increased by 800%. Videos that I have learned to fine tune have earned more views and I have more subscribers since implementing what I have learned.

I know how to figure out my value and how to ask for it. I am confident in my abilities and seeing some success already has only increased that confidence.

I can’t express strongly enough how much this program has done for me. Blogging and vlogging have always been fun but now I feel I have a viable business ahead of me and that there are no limitations to what I can do in the future.

Thank you Rebekah and Danny J for changing my life for the better!

– Sherry Osborne

As an author and blogger, I am always looking for ways to grow my brand. With a lot of information out there, it can be difficult to know what will really work, and what will just make you spin in circles.

Thankfully Danny J and Bex, two titans in the blogging and video world, decided to share their success secrets through the Social Academy!

It couldn’t have come at a better time as my blog is starting to grow, and the second edition of the book is set to come out soon. Their webinars offered loads of information, while the Facebook group allowed us to ask more specific questions, while interacting with all members of the group. Within the first few days, I had already gotten my money’s worth and then some!

Along with sharing their insight, they also gave us specific steps to follow. Although I still have a lot of work to do, I am excited to keep pushing forward and growing my brand. There is always a voice in the back of my head asking, “What would Danny J and Bex do?”

If you are looking for advice and information in a fun and supportive environment, without spending a fortune, Social Academy is the way to go!

“WILL protein powder help me lose weight?”

“My friend started doing these protein shakes and she’s lost 10 lbs. Should I buy that shake?”

Here is the answer:

There is NO protein powder that makes you lose weight or helps you tone.

(here is a quick rant I did after this blog was posted)

“WHAT?! What does it do then???? Why am I spending my money on it? Why am I told to use it??!”

OK, OK, calm down… here is the deal—> PROTEIN is one of three macronutrients: Carbs, Proteins, Fats.

Lets do a quick lesson in nutrition:

Carbs (Carbohydrates)– carbs are used for ENERGY. Carbs convert to glucose which is the only fuel your brain functions on (hence, why you feel so dumb on low/no carb diets) Carbs include sugars and many people have dubbed them BAD… this is not the case. They are essential. Carbs are found in fruits, grains, vegetables, and sugars.

Fats— another “bad” one. Fats don’t make you fat.(too many fats can… but, I digress) Fats are essential for making hormones as well as feeling FULL. Fats are pure energy, but are used/digested slower than carbs. Fats are found in seeds, nuts, meats, and oils.

Protein-– protein is essential for building structure– hair, nails, skin, etc. Proteins are slower digesting and can help you feel full as well, and therefore (you might) eat less. Protein is found in some grains, eggs, cheese, and meats.

Soooo… that being said, as you can see, there are no “Special fat-burning powers” or “magic slimming properties” specifically of protein or even any kind of protein powder. In fact, due to the fact that protein powders are mixed to make a liquid, most of them are digested faster, so they don’t even provide the same benefits of satiety as, say, chewing on a big piece of meat.

HOWEVER– you still NEED protein. EVERY DAY. If you work out, you need MORE protein. Protein helps build/rebuild muscle. Many successful weight-loss programs (and even I suggest) that you eat protein with each meal. The point here is, its NOT the “brand” or the kind of powder that matters. Powders do have their place. They are convenient– a lot of people find that they don’t have time to prepare “meals” all the time. They are a great alternative for vegetarians or for people who don’t digest meat well. Protein is essential in any weight-loss program because it helps build muscle (which increases metabolism) and it helps the “dieter” feel full and doesn’t create a spike in blood sugar.

“Should I even bother buying protein powder then?”

SURE!! If you have a hard time eating meat or getting in enough protein for your daily needs, then yes, its still a good idea to supplement with a shake. It still is always best practice to choose REAL food, over processed food when you can. Powders are great for travel and in between meals or post-workout.

“What kind of protein powder should I buy?”

Whey is a quick digesting protein that is generally cheap and easily mixable. If you are allergic to whey or dairy, you may want to try a liquid egg white protein or powdered egg white protein. Try and steer away from soy, as nearly all US Soybeans are genetically modified and soy has been shown to raise levels of estrogen, increasing cancer risks.
If you are vegan– look for pea, rice or hemp protein powders, (VEGA is one Vegan brand that I am aware of) You can read up on different kinds on the Bodybuilding.com Protein Guide.

“What else should I look for in a Protein Powder?”

QUALITY! Very often with protein, you get what you pay for! Did you know that most of the whey protein companies get their whey as byproducts of the cheese industry? Interesting stuff. Just understand that if a product is significantly cheaper than other products, they are probably using substandard ingredients. This is not always the case, but do not purchase based solely on price.

TASTE! You have to drink it, so make sure you like it. There is no one brand that I suggest to everyone, because some people like thick shakes, some people like a “chocolate milk” consistency. It really just depends on YOU. Some supplement stores will let you try a sample before you buy.

Here are a handful of brands that I have tried (or have had friends recommend) as a place to start– understand that I don’t recommend them over a whole-food based diet, but do recommend for reasons stated above. (and YES I still use powders)

Isagenix — made with no artificial sweeteners (sucralose/aspartame), no soy or gluten and adaptogens for adrenal health, with some of the highest quality I have seen. The IsaLean also has enzymes for digestion and live cultures for gut health. It has AMAZING ingredients and quality, you get what you pay for on this one.

Gaspari Myofusion— a thicker whey shake, I love the taste of this one, but def. a preference thing. Some people do not like the consistency. Great mid-priced brand and reputable company

Optimum Nutrition (ON) Whey— this one is thinner and I think tastes better with almond milk than water. Not a personal favorite but it has great reviews on bodybuilding.com. I prefer to cook with this one. Uses sucralose.

Muscle Pharm Combat— similar to ON. High reviews. Has a blend of 5 different proteins for sustained release. My husband actually works for this company so I can get it free but I honestly don’t care for it all that much. (just goes to show you how much tastes vary!!) Uses sucralose.

Nature’s Best ISOPURE— a whey protein ISOLATE. not a blend, more grams of protein per serving. Isolates are great if you are really dieting for a show or need straight protein, no carbs, etc. Great taste.

Muscle Milk– have a lot of great flavors, but higher in fat. Some controversy on possible lead?? I think Muscle Milk tastes delicious, but haven’t heard the best things about the quality.

Dymatize Elite– a thicker protein, similar to Gaspari, a little higher price, but popular brand and reputable company.

The Truth About Recovery: No Easy Fix

Let’s get real: metabolic damage isn’t something you can “diet your way out” of. It’s a tangled web of physical, hormonal, and emotional challenges that require a multifaceted approach. I’ve been navigating this complex mess for over 20 months, and it’s been anything but straightforward.

I wish I could tell you there’s a single solution—one change you could make to “fix” everything. But that’s not how this works. Recovery demands patience, perseverance, and often a total shift in mindset.

Why I Keep Sharing My Story

I’ve committed to being as honest as possible about my journey. Sharing the ups, downs, and in-betweens isn’t always easy, but I know that my experiences resonate with so many of you. The emails, questions, and comments I receive tell me that I’m not alone—and neither are you.

These updates serve as a tool, a resource, and a source of hope. For anyone out there feeling lost, stuck, or frustrated, my goal is to let you know that healing is possible, even if it feels like an uphill battle.

What’s Next? Ongoing Progress and Support

As I continue on this journey, I’ll keep blogging and sharing updates. Progress is slow, but every small step forward matters. Whether it’s new insights from professionals, breakthroughs in my own recovery, or answers to your questions, I’ll be here to share what I learn.

Remember, you’re not in this alone. Stay tuned for future updates, and keep sending your thoughts, questions, and stories my way. Together, we can navigate this challenging road to recovery.

Key Takeaways

• Recovery is complex: Metabolic damage and adrenal fatigue can’t be fixed overnight or with a single change.
• Honesty is vital: Sharing real stories helps build awareness and support for those struggling.
• Progress takes time: Recovery is a journey of small, incremental steps.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Your questions and feedback inspire me to keep pushing forward—and I hope these updates provide the same motivation for you.

The post Metabolism & Adrenal Fatigue Update appeared first on The Sweaty Betties.

How It All Began: My Quest for Perfection

Before starting The Sweaty Betties, I was fully immersed in the fitness world, chasing the elusive Pro Card. Like many others, I believed it would validate me as a trainer and boost my credibility. I thought it would lead to more opportunities, a better resume, and success in the fitness industry.

My first competition in 2006 was eye-opening. I didn’t win the Pro Card then, but I continued competing and eventually decided to give it another go in 2009. This time, I pushed harder. With a new coach and an aggressive 6-week diet plan, I achieved my best-ever onstage look. The results seemed to justify the extreme measures.

But here’s the thing: That diet lasted from May to November. By the end, I was unknowingly setting myself up for a cascade of health problems.

The Aftermath: When My Body Betrayed Me

Just two weeks after my competition, everything changed. I went from powering through Level 10 on the stair machine to struggling with Level 5. My once-strong body couldn’t lift 5-pound dumbbells. To top it off, I gained 8 pounds in one weekend.

In a panic, I reverted to the only solution I knew: crash dieting. I cut out carbs entirely and ramped up cardio to two hours a day for four days straight. Instead of losing weight, I gained 2 more pounds.

For the next year, I found myself stuck in this vicious cycle:

• Constantly dieting to “fix” my weight gain
• Living in fear of food, knowing it would cause more weight gain
• Feeling ashamed and questioning my ability as a trainer

I even avoided my clients, convinced they would judge me for my body changes. Seeing them succeed while I struggled was devastating.

The Bigger Picture: This Isn’t Just Me

As I began to dig deeper, I realized I wasn’t alone. So many women were experiencing the same thing. Their stories mirrored my own—years of extreme dieting, followed by inexplicable weight gain, fatigue, and emotional turmoil.

Here are just a few of the heartbreaking quotes I’ve received:

• “I wasn’t even allowed a full cheat day on my wedding—just one meal. I’m crying as I write this because I know so many other women suffer like I do.”
• “I wish I’d never competed. The transformation was fun, but the aftermath has wrecked my self-esteem.”
• “I’ve spent thousands on doctors with no answers. It’s exhausting.”
• “I avoid friends and vacations because I’m disgusted by my body. But then I get angry that I let my worth be tied to how I look.”

It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also motivating. I knew I had to find answers—not just for myself, but for the countless others suffering in silence.

Understanding Metabolic Damage

So, what is metabolic damage? Essentially, it’s when years of extreme dieting and overtraining wreak havoc on your body’s natural processes. Your metabolism slows down, and your body becomes resistant to weight loss. Symptoms can include:

• Unexplained weight gain
• Fatigue and weakness
• Swollen legs and ankles
• Shortness of breath
• Psychological distress

This isn’t just a “thyroid issue” or a lack of willpower. It’s a physiological response to prolonged stress on your body.

Finding a Way Forward

Right now, I’m diving deep into research and working with professionals to develop a protocol for recovery. While I’m still on this journey, here are some initial steps that can help if you’re experiencing similar struggles:

1. Rest and Rebuild: Your body needs time to recover from the stress of extreme dieting. Start by reducing intense workouts and focusing on gentle movements like yoga or walking.
2. Nourish, Don’t Deprive: Shift your mindset from restriction to nourishment. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods.
3. Seek Support: Find a healthcare provider who understands metabolic damage and can guide you through recovery.
4. Be Patient: Healing takes time. Your body didn’t get here overnight, and recovery won’t be instantaneous either.

Why I’m Speaking Out

It’s my mission to raise awareness about this issue. If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with you, and you’re not crazy. The fitness industry often glamorizes the end results without showing the potential consequences.

By sharing my story, I hope to prevent others from going down this path. If you’re considering extreme measures to achieve a “look,” please think twice. No trophy or photo shoot is worth sacrificing your health for.

Stay tuned for updates as I learn more and continue my journey toward recovery. Together, we can shed light on this issue and support one another in finding lasting solutions.

FAQs

What causes metabolic damage?
Metabolic damage is caused by prolonged periods of extreme calorie restriction, excessive exercise, and inadequate recovery.

How long does it take to recover from metabolic damage?
Recovery times vary depending on the severity of the damage, but it often takes months or even years. Patience is key.

Can metabolic damage be reversed?
Yes, with proper care and a focus on nourishing the body, most people can restore their metabolism over time.

Should I stop exercising completely?
Not necessarily. Focus on gentle, restorative exercises like walking or yoga while allowing your body time to heal.

How do I know if I have metabolic damage?
Common signs include unexplained weight gain, extreme fatigue, and difficulty losing weight despite a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Are there professionals who specialize in metabolic recovery?
Yes, look for a dietitian or doctor who understands the impact of extreme dieting and overtraining on the body.

Conclusion

Metabolic damage is a tough road, but it’s not a dead end. By speaking up and sharing our experiences, we can help others avoid the same pitfalls and find their way to recovery. Let’s redefine what health and success mean in the fitness industry—because no one should have to sacrifice their well-being for a competition or a look.

Stay strong, stay informed, and let’s fight this together.
