The Outdated Concept of Calories

The episode emphasizes that focusing on calories is an outdated approach that fails to reflect a person's overall health. In contrast, the speaker advocates for a more holistic understanding of health that incorporates hormonal balance and individual needs. The discussion critiques the prevalent 'one size fits all' mentality in dietary recommendations, which often neglects the unique biochemical makeup of women's bodies.
