TGB Ep 49: Metabolism Fundamentals

This episode’s a little different — pulled straight from my personal voice memo archives.I was walking and thinking through metabolism from a first principles lens — what it really is, what it's not, and why most people (even professionals) misunderstand it.If you've ever felt like something's off in your body but all the advice out there feels surface-level, this is for you. We dive into how metabolism actually works from a physiological standpoint — not just calories in, calories out — and why understanding the system matters more than jumping on another trend.Simple, clear, and grounded in real biology. No gimmicks. Just the truth.
