213: Communicate with your metabolism? Here’s how

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Jul 26, 2022 | 0 comments

Tired of making healthy choices but not getting the results you want?

Well, the issue may have something to do with your metabolism.

And If you think your metabolism is holding you back: don’t give up. There is something you can do.

In fact, my guests say you can hack your metabolism to boost your weight loss efforts.

They’re twin sisters: Michal Mor, doctor of physiology and Merav Mor, Chief of science and co-developers of Lumen, a device that uses your breath to determine if your body is burning fat or carbs in real time.

And for a lot of people, knowing how YOUR unique body burns fat could be the key to getting your metabolism and weight under control.

We discuss EVERYTHING you need to know about metabolism and the surprisingly simple technique for helping YOU reach your health goals.

This episode was sponsored by Lumen, but Dr Gundry’s opinions are his own.
