Great question!
Metabolic health isn’t a common topic in medical discussions. A big reason for this is that the American ‘Sick’ Care system is designed to manage the downstream effects which are the chronic diseases we’ve been talking about.
Yet, metabolism is a big deal—it encompasses every process in our body.
For our purposes we’re going to narrow the discussion a bit and focus on metabolism in terms of energy.
Every cell, every organ in your body needs fuel.
Your body gets energy from the food you eat, digest, and absorb. From there, you system can burn it, transforms it , stores it, and moves it around.
All the systems and processes that manage energy are collectively called your metabolism.
