157. What is the Pro-Metabolic Approach? Pursuing Health Through Nourishing Foods and Metabolic Support | Fallon Lee & Kori Meloy

1 hour 32 minutes

The pro-metabolic approach to wellness has been gaining popularity lately, but it is rooted in ancient ways of eating and supporting the body. The more I have learned about it, the more I have realized that I have actually been following many of the pro-metabolic principles for a long time. This way of life goes hand in hand with the from-scratch homestead kitchen. Though I have already been implementing many metabolically supportive practices in my life, I still learned so much from this conversation. I walked away with new ideas to try and areas of my health to reexamine. Whether you are new to the pro-metabolic conversation or have been embracing this approach for many years, join us for this rich conversation about supporting our health in a truly sustainable way.
