305 What is Metabolic Health?

Do you feel tired, hungry, and like your body is working against you? Dr Lucy Burns and Dr Mary Barson break down exactly what metabolic health is and why it matters far more than just the number on the scales. In this episode, you'll learn how your body converts food into energy, why high insulin can lock your stored fat away like cash in a term deposit you cannot access, and how conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and dementia are all rooted in the same metabolic imbalance. The best part is that your metabolic health is not fixed and it can start to change in weeks, not years. Tune in to understand what is really going on in your body and why simple, real food changes can make a profound difference.
