Middleish: Episode 114 - Metabolism: The Good, the Bad, and the Hungry - a podcast by Middle-ish

The diet and fitness industry is obsessed with metabolism. It can be optimized! Hacked! Kick-started! Maximized! With all the hype and buzzwords, it’s easy to get seduced into thinking metabolism is something to manage and monitor in every waking moment. 

We first discussed metabolism and its basic functions in Episode 48, but the myths and misinformation persists so we’re revisiting it! Let’s talk about the basics of metabolism, what it is and what it isn’t. We’ll also hit on some common misconceptions about revving up metabolism through various methods touted on social media, plus things you can actually do to encourage your own metabolic health.

Erin Green is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recovering professional triathlete and owner of Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho. After years of regimented training, she is rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement, social runs and exploring unpaved bike routes. Check out her blog and videos at www.eringreenracing.com.

Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com.

Let us know you like what you hear! Small donations from our listeners help to support Michael's gummy bear habit or go toward a new houseplant that will inevitably die under Erin's care. We appreciate all of our Middleish listeners! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/middleish/support
