231: Winter Metabolic Strategies

Winter has its own special and distinct impact on our biology. The seasonal  changes in our environment cue some very specific physiological processes in our body, especially our mitochondria which run our metabolic process.

In this week’s podcast episode we’re talking about how 3 major zeitgebers - light, temperature and food - affect our mitochondria at this time of the year. Winter is the time for more darkness, more melatonin, more cold and more fats. This means less light, less Vitamin D, less warmth and less carbs.  Come listen to this “In Relation to Creation” episode to learn more about God’s fascinating design of our body!
