Summary

We’ve all heard the mantra “calories in, calories out.” While it sounds like a failproof formula for weight loss, it’s actually a radical oversimplification of nutrition. Not to mention, the saying undermines the innate intelligence and adaptivity of the incredible human body. Behind the scenes, there are many more variables than just calories consumed and calories expended. Today you’re going to learn about seven factors that impact how the body processes and absorbs calories. I’m going to walk you through a useful acronym you can use to remember the things that control how calories behave in our bodies. More importantly, you’re going to walk away with real world, tangible steps you can take to optimize your diet and metabolism. I hope this information empowers you to make more informed food choices, so that together we can shift the paradigm around calories and weight loss. Enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: What percentage of American adults are metabolically healthy. The definition of the term epicaloric control. How inflammation is linked to chronic diseases. The link between the vagus nerve and how calories are absorbed. What SCFAs are and where they originate from. The types of foods that can reduce inflammation in the gut. How the liver impacts thyroid function. What neuroinflammation is and how it impacts the way calories are processed. How your metabolic rate is like a thermostat. What food can restore function of the blood brain barrier. Why your body is less efficient at burning processed foods. How cooking foods changes their bioavailability. What the thermic effect of food is. How digestive efficiency varies from person to person. The role that the microbiome plays in digestion and calorie absorption.

0:11.3	Welcome to The Model Health Show. This is Fitness and Nutrition Express, Sean Stevenson.
0:14.8	And I'm so grateful for you tuning in with me today. I am so pumped about this episode.
0:19.2	2021 is offering us an opportunity to help shift the culture of health and wellness
0:25.2	in our society. And it's up to us. And one of the things that need to take place is a shift
0:29.8	into what really creates overall health and vitality. And also making a shift in the awareness
0:35.6	of what controls our metabolism. Right now, as it stands, a recent study published in the peer
0:40.8	view journal Metabolic Syndrome and related disorders determine that only 12% of American adults
0:48.0	are metabolically healthy. Only 12%. And what does that look like? What does the outcome?
0:54.0	What is the outpicturing of that? Well, right now here in the United States, over 200 million
0:58.4	Americans or overweight or obese. It's an absolute epidemic. And we're on pace at right now at
1:04.0	this point. We currently have 43% of our citizens are clinically obese. And we're on pace within
1:10.8	the next couple of years to have 50% of our citizens clinically obese. We can do something about this.
1:17.7	But we need to have a shift in our awareness. We need to have a shift in our consciousness on how
1:23.1	our metabolism actually works. And when I was in college in my nutritional science class,
1:29.2	I was taught that what's controlling our ability to lose weight was the management of the calorie.
1:36.7	Right. The calorie is the boss. It's the Tony Danza of nutrition. But the reality is very,
1:43.3	very different. And this year, we are going to work to impress upon our culture this term,
1:49.6	epi-caloric control. Right. Epi-caloric control. There are seven things that I highlight in my
1:56.4	new book each month that are controlling what calories actually do in our bodies. These are above
