28: How to Improve Your Metabolic Health (Part 2)

The Primal Shift

If you listened to the last episode about metabolic health and realized you’re not healthy, this episode is for you.

I share that metabolic health is key to longevity and can be improved by choosing healthier dietary options while avoiding seed and vegetable oils and processed carbs. I also highlight the importance of regular physical activity, including both low and high impact exercises, in maintaining muscle and bone strength and supporting hormonal health. Finally, I discuss how mindful lifestyle choices such as stress management, reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors, and regular health monitoring can significantly enhance metabolic wellness.

In this episode, I discuss:

01:09 - The crucial connection between diet and metabolic health, understanding how specific dietary choices can significantly enhance or impair metabolic function

02:52 - How regular exercise and effective stress management can cultivate a more resilient metabolic state

05:52 - The often-overlooked environmental elements that impact our metabolic health, such as exposure to sunlight, sleep patterns, and avoidance of endocrine disruptors like plastic containers

07:28 - The value of monitoring physiological metrics to track progress and make informed decisions about health interventions

09:02 - Guidance on how to sustainably incorporate these practices into daily life for lasting health benefits
