Today's conversation was inspired by our last podcast episode about metabolic health. As we talked through this, we realized there was a large gap between facts and what our society thinks is "healthy" based on what we've been told through the media, marketing and the influence of our family/friends. What we've discovered is that no one is talking about health markers, so we are diving into it today. Get ready to join us in a candid conversation about:

• How marketing and the media has influenced us
• What we are told health looks like
• What it means to listen to your body
• Questions to ask yourself to determine how healthy you are
• Signs of a healthy body
• What is your metabolism (in digestible terms)
