The Model Health Show

It’s no secret that your metabolism is an important part of your ability to burn fat, as well as other crucial bodily functions. In the health and wellness space, there’s a lot of talk about boosting your metabolism in order to change your overall body composition. But when it comes down to it, there’s much more to your metabolism than its rate.  You don’t need to boost your metabolism in order to have a healthy body—you need a flexible metabolism. If you have a flexible metabolism, you can tap into different sources of fuel and still perform at an optimal level. The good news is, you can train your body to do this, and over time, you can discover the optimal way of eating your specific body.  Healthy metabolic function is essential to overall health, but it’s also incredibly complex. Today, Dr. Jade Teta is here to simplify this process. He’s sharing simple rules on how the metabolism works, and how you can learn more about your individual metabolic process to create a strong, healthy, and metabolically flexible body. Enjoy!  In this episode you’ll discover: How your metabolism can adapt and adjust.  What metabolic smoke means, and how it damages your cells.  The impact that overstressing has on your metabolism. How alcohol inhibits fat burning. The two main rules of metabolic function.  Why your metabolism is not good at multitasking.  How your metabolism acts as a thermostat.  Why macronutrient ratios are important for metabolic function.  What intermittent dieting is, and how to practice it.  What percentage of dieters gain back the weight.  How to learn more about your individual metabolism and create your own diet.  The importance of exploring different nutrition protocols.  How women’s metabolism changes throughout the menstrual cycle.  The four steps that have to occur for your body to burn fat as fuel.
