Why Calories Are Not Created Equal

In this episode, Dr. Tim Scott and Mia Scott break down why "calories in, calories out" is an oversimplified and outdated way to think about health. They explain how protein, carbohydrates, and fat are metabolized differently in the body, how hormones like insulin control fat storage, and why food is more than just energy.
