Summary

Have you been eating better and exercising, but you still aren’t getting the results you want? You might be metabolically inflexible.   In this episode, I talk to Dr. Ian Smith about metabolism: the myths, the science, and how to achieve the mission-critical state of metabolic flexibility. We’re discussing whether it’s better to burn fat or carbs, the shifts you may need in your diet, and the signs of metabolic inflexibility —some of which may really surprise you. Plus, Dr. Smith shares which tools to use for the biggest impact on your metabolism so you can finally get results.  If it feels like your metabolism is stuck and you’re not sure what to do, the tools and approaches in this episode could give you the kickstart you’ve been looking for. You don’t want to miss it!
