381: Why You’re Stuck: Hunger, Hormones + Metabolic Fixes | Dr. Andrew Koutnik
About this episode
Kelly Leveque discusses metabolic health and ketogenic diets with researcher Dr. Andrew Koutnik.
In this episode I sat down with metabolic researcher Andrew Koutnik to break down the science of metabolic health, insulin resistance, and ketogenic diets. We explore why most people struggle with energy crashes, cravings, and weight loss resistance, and how blood sugar regulation plays a central role in long term health. Andrew shares insights from decades of research and personal experience living with type 1 diabetes, including how the body adapts to carbohydrate reduction, what metabolic flexibility actually means, and why keto is often misunderstood.→ Leave Us A Voice Message!
