Metabolism is chemical reactions in the body to break down food so that your body and your cells can use it. And as you will hear, sugar, primarily in the form of glucose, but in other forms as well, is a really, really important part of metabolism.
Think you know everything about metabolism? Think again. In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray take you on a journey through the maze of metabolism myths and facts. Ever wondered if 'starvation mode' is real or just another buzzword? Or how your body really uses calories and nutrients? Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, are here to clear up the confusion.
They kick things off by breaking down the basics of human metabolism in a way that's easy to grasp. From the role of glucose to the impact of different macronutrients, they make sense of the science without getting too technical. They also dive into popular diet trends like ketosis and ketogenic diets, weighing their pros and cons with a balanced perspective. But it’s not all about what you eat.
Erin and Michael stress the importance of movement, both from exercise and everyday activities, in keeping your metabolism ticking. They also explore the set point theory, which suggests your body has a natural weight range it tries to maintain. This theory could change how you think about weight loss and maintenance. As a fun twist, they even touch on how gardening can be a surprisingly effective way to boost your well-being.
Whether you're a fitness fanatic or just trying to understand your body better, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in engaging conversation. Tune in for a no-nonsense guide to making sense of metabolism.
