Revisting the Metabolic Toggles

About this episode

This episode explores the four unique metabolic scenarios influenced by diet and exercise, referred to as The Metabolic Toggles.

The two biggest inputs we have into our physiology and metabolism are what we eat and what we do for movement and exercise. There are 4 unique metabolic scenarios that emerge when modulating those two inputs and they underlie the process and progress a person makes towards their physical and health goals. This episode dives into the how, why, when, and for how long for each of these metabolic scenarios, that we call - The Metabolic Toggles.
