Episode 16 - Metabolic Health: The Missing Link to Energy, Weight Loss, and Chronic Disease Reversal

Episode Description:
What if the real reason behind your fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, or chronic symptoms isn’t a bunch of different problems—but one root issue?

In today’s episode of Lifestyle School, we’re breaking down what metabolic health actually is, why it matters, and how it affects every single cell and system in your body. From blood sugar to hormones to brain fog to belly fat—it’s all connected.

• The 5 key clinical markers of metabolic dysfunction
  
  
• Why energy, sleep, mood, and weight are all downstream of metabolism
