SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
When most people hear the word "metabolism," they think about weight or how many calories they're burning. But your metabolism is so much more than that. It influences your energy, brain function, stress response, hormones, recovery, and your body's ability to adapt to everyday life.
In this fourth episode of my Functional Lab Testing Series, we're exploring how metabolism impacts nearly every system in your body and when it's worth taking a deeper look. We talk about the common symptoms that can point toward metabolic dysfunction, what an organic acids test (OAT) can reveal, and the metabolic patterns I see most often in practice. If you've ever felt like something is off but can't quite explain why, this episode may help connect the dots.
