Is Your Metabolism Normal?

Normal body temperature (97-99°F / 36.1-37.2°C)

Consistent resting temperature in the normal range suggests healthy metabolic function

No unusual cold intolerance

Constantly feeling cold when others are comfortable can signal a slowed metabolism

Warm hands and feet most of the time

Poor circulation to extremities is a common sign of metabolic sluggishness

Stable energy throughout the day

Your metabolism should sustain consistent energy levels without extreme highs and lows

Wake up feeling reasonably rested

Waking refreshed indicates your body repaired and regenerated effectively overnight

No severe afternoon energy crash

A mild dip is normal, but a severe crash may indicate blood sugar regulation issues

Weight is relatively stable without extreme fluctuations

Unexplained weight gain or loss can be a sign of metabolic dysfunction

BMI falls within the normal range (18.5-24.9)

While not perfect, BMI provides a general indicator of metabolic health

Normal hair growth without excessive thinning

Hair follicles are highly sensitive to metabolic and hormonal changes

Regular, normal digestion without chronic issues

Gut motility is closely tied to metabolic rate and thyroid function

Resting heart rate between 60-100 bpm

Both unusually high and low resting heart rates can indicate thyroid imbalances

No persistent dry skin despite moisturizing

Chronically dry skin is a classic symptom of an underactive thyroid affecting metabolism
