Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Schur. Today I'm joined by

Kirstie Woods. Now, Kirstie is an exercise physiologist and founding practitioner at Metabolic

Health Solutions in Western Australia. And this interview fits in very well with sort of this

little two interview series, I guess you

can say, about practical testing.

So we have practical testing about measuring ketones, and now we are going to have practical

testing about measuring your metabolism and your body composition.

And she is a specialist, an expert in indirect calerometry and using this test to help target

solutions for obesity, PCOS, fatty liver, all sorts of metabolic health diseases, and also

using body composition tests.

So that's what this interview is all about.

Basically, what is indirect calerometry?

What is resting metabolic rate?

What are we looking for when we test them?

What are we looking for when we test body composition?

And more importantly, how can you use these to help inform your lifestyle choices, to learn

what are the right choices for you?

Because when determining what are the right choices, it's all about what is healthy weight

loss.

You know, anything, any intervention could lose weight potentially, but you want to make sure

you're losing weight in the healthiest manner.

And that's what these tests do.
