What is metabolism and does it "slow down" as we age? Can you hack your metabolism, as many social media influencers suggest? Guest co-host Pedro Mendes joins Dr. Chris Labos to discuss what your metabolism actually is, how you measure it, whether it changes as we age, and whether there is anything we can do that actually affects it.
