Kathleen is back on for another episode diving into the significance of eating enough calories and the impact of food on the body. They discuss the problems in undernutrition, including the reduction in metabolism, nitrogen balance, and body temperature. They challenge the mainstream belief that a slower metabolism is better for longevity, highlight the benefits of having a fast metabolic rate and address the limitations of the rate of living theory.
