Summary
Have you ever heard someone blame their weight gain on a 'slow metabolism?' It sounds logical, but what does it mean exactly? What is considered 'slow?'
When we talk about metabolic health, it's important to define what it really is. You'll quickly learn that it's multifaceted and you'll need to work separately on each area.
On this week's podcast, we'll talk with Ann Louise Gittleman, the first lady of nutrition, who has very practical advice based on decades of extensive work in health and nutrition.
Listen & Learn:
- How to optimize your metabolism for weight loss, health, and longevity
- Why pine nut oil is amazing for digestive problems (among other things)
- Why many people have lower HCL and bile production as they age
- Why bitter foods are so important
