Dhru Purohit Show The Surprising New Science of Metabolism, Weight Loss And Fat Burning with Dr. William Li
Fat, Not Fate, Drives Metabolism
- A slow metabolism rarely causes weight gain; excess body fat suppresses metabolism instead.
- Removing harmful fat can restore your metabolism's natural four-phase pattern across life.
Move Daily And Protect Sleep
- Move daily through exercise and incidental activity like walking or fidgeting to keep metabolism trained.
- Prioritize sleep to let metabolism work during fasting periods and support recovery.
Fat Grows Like A Selfish Organ
- Excess fat behaves like a growing tumor by recruiting blood vessels to feed itself.
- That vascular growth (angiogenesis) makes obesity inflammatory and disease-promoting.
