Improving Your Metabolism With Dr. Mike Nelson

Dr. Mike Nelson is an exercise physiologist, educator, and researcher known for translating complex science into practical strategies for health, performance, and longevity. Dr. Nelson has spent years studying metabolism, recovery, physiology, and human performance, helping everyone from elite athletes to everyday people better understand how the body adapts to stress. Don and Dr. Nelson break down one of the most misunderstood topics in health and fitness: metabolism. They explore what metabolism actually is, why it's much more than simply "burning calories," and how factors like muscle mass, movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and stress all influence the body's ability to create and use energy efficiently. The conversation also covers metabolic rate, metabolic flexibility, fat loss, strength training, aging, recovery strategies, and why improving your metabolism isn't about finding shortcuts, it's about creating a body that's resilient, adaptable, and capable of meeting the demands of everyday life. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Timeline / Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.
