Metabolic health influences every aspect of your health and well-being. But for most people, understanding how the human metabolism works can be puzzling. Today, we’re going to break metabolism down into digestible bits that you can easily apply to your real life. On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear my interview from the Zoe Podcast. This is a robust conversation with Dr. Tim Spector and Jonathan Wolf on metabolic health. You’re going to learn about the environmental factors that influence metabolism, the role that sleep plays in regulating metabolism, and practical tips for improving your individual metabolism. You’re also going to learn about how inflammation affects metabolic health, why ultraprocessed foods can impact metabolic efficiency, and so much more. If you’re interested in learning how to transform your metabolic health, optimize your food choices, and get better sleep, I hope you enjoy this conversation.
