I’m joined once again by the brilliant David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs, for a deep dive into the metabolic health crisis and the surprising science behind real, sustainable wellness. David walks us through the metabolic cascade that begins every time we eat, and why this natural process breaks down with age, inactivity, and modern diets. We also get into the critical role of muscle mass in regulating glucose, how fasting and autophagy rejuvenate mitochondria, and why walking may be the most underrated tool in the fight against obesity.

Whether you’re battling blood sugar issues or just looking for a cleaner, more empowered approach to wellness, this one’s a must-listen. And for the next week, The Life Stylist listeners can get an exclusive 25% off all Mara Labs products when you go to mara-labs.com/luke and use code LUKE at checkout. After that, code LUKE will still get you 15% off.
