Every woman’s body holds its own unique rhythm—a metabolic personality shaped by genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and ancestral wisdom. In The Metabolic Persona Method™, I help women identify their metabolic type so they can stop guessing and start aligning with how their body truly functions.
Let’s break down the 3 Metabolic Personas:
The Cheetah (Slow Metabolizer)
Core Energy: Grounded, deliberate, and cautious
Cheetahs tend to metabolize food slowly. They often feel heavy after meals, gain weight easily, and may struggle with bloating, fatigue, or constipation.
Signs You’re a Cheetah:
You feel sluggish after eating
Carbs make you crash
You tend to gain weight around the belly or hips
Your body resists quick changes
What You Need:
Slow, warming foods that are easy to digest
Gentle movements like walking or yoga
Blood sugar support and digestive bitters
The Butterfly (Mixed Metabolizer)
Core Energy: Adaptable, intuitive, and transitional
Butterflies are in-between types. They swing between feeling energetic and depleted, light and heavy, fast and slow. Their metabolism is influenced heavily by stress, sleep, and food quality.
Signs You’re a Butterfly:
You feel great some days and drained on others
You can lose weight easily—and gain it just as fast
You often experience bloating, mood swings, or cravings
Your cycle or sleep feels unpredictable
What You Need:
Rhythm and consistency with meals
Nervous system regulation (breathwork, rest)
Targeted support for gut health and hormones
The Lioness (Fast Metabolizer)
Core Energy: Fierce, intense, and quick to shift
Lionesses burn through food rapidly. They often feel hungry shortly after eating, have difficulty sitting still, and may deal with inflammation, irritability, or hormone imbalance if unbalanced.
Signs You’re a Lioness:
You get "hangry" often
You feel wired but tired
You struggle to build or maintain muscle
You crash hard without protein or fat
What You Need:
Protein- and fat-rich meals at regular intervals
Calming rituals to slow down
Cooling herbs and grounding foods
No matter your persona, your body isn’t wrong. She’s wise.
