Hello everyone welcome back to Fit Body Happy Joins. My name is Shannon. Today we are doing something that we don't do very often and we are re-releasing an old episode.

0:09.4

So I had my baby at the end of March, a baby girl named Olivia, and I've been on maternity leave over the last six weeks, and I had created

0:17.5

podcasts so that you could have new episodes for each week that I was on my maternity leave,

0:22.0

except I just didn't have one for this week.

0:24.8

Now although this is an old episode I highly recommend listening to it again even if you've

0:29.3

already listened because it's been months since we released it.

0:37.6

I listen to business podcasts mostly.

0:40.8

Founders is my favorite, by the way. but if I find an episode that I find really

0:50.5

episode multiple times with months in between and I find that each

0:54.6

time I listen to the episode again I get something different out of it so I think

that this episode even if you've heard it before re-listen to, it is a little bit more dense.

1:04.0

And it's also pretty foundational because we talk about metabolic health,

1:07.6

which I think is foundational to the rest of fitness.

1:11.0

I think many times fitness programs and diets are short-term fixes but because they're either

1:16.1

too intense or they're not streamlined enough they actually aren't improving your

1:20.8

overall metabolic health and not going to give you those

1:23.4

lasting sustainable results. So please enjoy this episode about how to improve metabolic

1:28.6

flexibility, how being more metabolically flexible can improve your body

1:32.4

composition and I will be back next. more metabolically flexible can improve your body composition
