How to burn fat faster by hacking your nervous system

Fat loss isn’t just about calories. Here’s how to use your nervous system to your advantage

What You’ll Learn Today:

  1. How fat burning works: The two-step process of fat mobilization and oxidation.

  2. Why the nervous system matters: Epinephrine is the switch that activates fat burning.

  3. Practical tools: Science-backed strategies, tactics, and habits to maximize fat loss.

Hola amigos,

Today marks 23 years since I first stepped into a gym. I've learned a thing or two, though it's fair to say I've made more mistakes than anyone I know.

Fat loss isn’t only about diet and exercise—it’s about what’s happening in your nervous system.

Here’s the science: Epinephrine (adrenaline) drives fat mobilization and oxidation. Activate it, and you can burn more fat—even when you’re not at the gym.

Here’s the playbook:

The Fat-Burning Framework

  1. Fat Mobilization: Stored fat is broken down and released into your bloodstream.

  2. Fat Oxidation: Your body uses these fatty acids for energy in the mitochondria.

The Key Player: Epinephrine. This stress hormone activates both steps, turning your nervous system into a fat-burning machine.

Tactics to Boost Epinephrine

  • Cold Exposure: Shivering releases succinate, triggering brown fat thermogenesis. Use cold intervals for max benefits.

  • NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis): Fidgeting, pacing, and subtle movements can significantly increase calorie burn.

  • High-Intensity Training: Burn glycogen during workouts, then enjoy increased fat oxidation during recovery.

  • Caffeine + Yerba Mate: Enhance fat oxidation and boost exercise performance.
