Summary
Sometimes, I feel like understanding metabolism and talking about metabolic health can be a tad on the complicated side. So, I've called in reinforcements: Meet Dr. Casey Means, co-founder of Levels. She's coming to #hurdlemoment today to chat all things metabolism, from how it works, what can slow it down or speed it up, how things like stress and diet can impact it, body temperature's impact on it, and so much more. This is the kind of episode where you're going to want to take notes.
