Let’s tackle food labels.
When you go to the grocery store and you are trying to pick out eggs, do you know which ones to choose? What about chicken? Steak? Milk?
Is cage-free the right option, or free-range? Or are neither of those the best option? It’s confusing. The issue is that most labels on your food are purely a marketing scam. In order to cut through the scams, we need to be educated on which labels actually matter and that’s exactly what we are going to dive into in this episode of the Complete Human Podcast!

What is Metabolic Flexibility and Why Do You Want It?

What the heck is metabolic flexibility?
In our opinion, it is one of the most important things we need to focus on when striving to be a healthier human. Essentially, metabolic flexibility is our body's ability to utilize different food sources at different times and switch between our different metabolic processes quickly.
How does our body utilize food? Can you deviate from your typical diet without it destroying you? Can you gain some weight and easily lose it? Can you go hours without eating? If the answer to these is no, it’s time you focus on becoming metabolically flexible. And in this episode of the Complete Human podcast, we educate you on how to do it.
What we discuss:
1:00 - What is metabolic flexibility?
3:00 - Signs of being metabolic inflexible.
