In this episode, Dr. Tim Scott and Mia Scott break down why "calories in, calories out" is an oversimplified and outdated way to think about health. They explain how protein, carbohydrates, and fat are metabolized differently in the body, how hormones like insulin control fat storage, and why food is more than just energy. You'll learn:
✅ Why 300 calories of soda is not the same as 300 calories of steak
✅ How insulin, blood sugar, and metabolism really work
✅ The thermic effect of protein and why it matters
✅ How glycemic index and load impact hunger and weight
✅ Practical ways to build meals that support long-term health If you've been doing "everything right" and still struggling, this episode will help you understand what your body is really responding to.
