029_How to Use the Metabolic Effect for Fat Loss with Dr. Jade Teta

Most of us think that if we eat less and work out more we will lose weight, but that's simply NOT the case. In fact, doing so is often a recipe for weight gain. Why? Well, the answer lies in understanding the metabolism and what it takes to function optimally.   If you're curious about how the metabolism really works, you're struggling to lose weight and can't figure out why, or if you're simply interested in optimizing your metabolic health, then you need to check out my podcast with Dr. Jade Teta.   If you can remember that the metabolism is simply a stress barometer,  you can start to understand why it runs into problems very quickly when you don’t let is seek its natural balance. - Dr. Jade Teta    Dr. Teta is an integrative physician, highly sought after expert in the realm of metabolism and self-development and author of the best-selling books The Metabolic Effect Diet, Metabolic Aftershock and Lose Weight Here.
