We often hear people talk about metabolism - whether it’s fast, slow, strong, or sluggish. It’s one of those health buzzwords that’s often said, but rarely understood.

Yet understanding metabolism is essential. It influences how we process food, how much energy we have, and our risk of developing health conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

In this episode, Shawn Stevenson and Tim Spector cut through the confusion. Together, they’ll explain what metabolism actually is, and empower you to take control of yours.
