Metabolism: Forget What You Thought You Knew

Our metabolism slows after our 20s. Men have a faster metabolic rate than women. Menopause slows metabolism. These are all widely believed as 'fact', but new science is showing us they aren’t necessarily true. Internationally recognized Duke researcher in human energetics and evolution, Herman Pontzer, joins me to uncover metabolism myths and misperceptions that many of us have long held as truths. We delve into the latest research around energy metabolism and what it means for us on an individual level.LINKS-Dr. Herman Pontzer’s book, BURN: www.amazon.com/Burn-Research-Really-Calories-Healthy/dp/0525541527-More on Burn + more from Dr. Pontzer: www.researchblog.duke.edu/2021/03/24/duke-researcher-busts-metabolism-myths-in-new-book/ Learn more about your ad choices.
