When it comes to burning fat, most people depend primarily on a low-carb/ketogenic diet. And while diet certainly serves an important role in metabolic flexibility, one major factor in our ability to burn fat vs. carbs is exercise.

Exercise plays a big part in how metabolically flexible we are. And although it may seem that the more we exercise, the more fat we'll burn, it's not that simple. In fact, exercise can also make us metabolically INflexible! In other words, too much exercise can actually cause harm.

We dive into all of that with our special guest, Ryan Baxter.  Ryan is a Health Coach from New Hampshire who is certified through the Primal Health Coach Institute.  We found Ryan through an online health community called The Healthy Rebellion, where Ryan is a moderator and insightful contributor (along with the founder of The Healthy Rebellion, and previous guest, Robb Wolf).

Ryan also has a fantastic blog and newsletter that digs into nutrition and fitness topics that don't often get covered elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and go check him out (links below)!
