What is Metabolism?

In this Q & A session, I answer a listeners question on how extended periods of dieting can affect metabolism.This one is pretty heavy on the science, and goes into the 11 systems of the body that make up the energy requirements for Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR.It is important to understand the organism as a whole, to understand how the metabolism works, and how it can be affected by your lifestyle choices...in particular, stress management.I do refer to a number of previous episodes, as they provide a lot more context for what I'm talking about.If you are listening to this episode as a first time listener, you will get a lot of benefit from this episode, however, I do release these episodes in a specific order for a reason, and that is to build a foundation, before we start layering information over the top of the fundamentals, so I highly recommend going back and listening from the start.Episodes referenced:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/3767621-episode-5-progress-tracking-tools-subjective-tracking.mp3?blob_id=15766943&download=truehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/3771728-episode-16-nutritional-pyramid-of-importance-mini-series-energy-balance-part-1.mp3?blob_id=15770882&download=truehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/3771785-episode-17-nutritional-pyramid-of-importance-mini-series-energy-balance-part-2.mp3?blob_id=15770888&download=truehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/3771833-episode-19-nutritional-pyramid-of-importance-mini-series-micronutrients-and-water.mp3?blob_id=15770915&download=truehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/5088611-episode-30-swiss-8-mini-series-mindfulness.mp3?blob_id=20435597&download=trueShaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life."I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."The odds were stacked against me:●       Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life●       Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school●       At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 200014 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach38+: The next evolution begins #coachedbykobes#livetrainperform#mindsetandperformanceLive Life To The Fullest.Train To Your Potential.Perform At Your Best!https://www.coachedbykobes.com/
