In today's episode, I want to explore the ongoing debate in fitness and nutrition regarding the roles of calories and hormones in weight loss. I want to talk about the importance of a holistic approach to metabolism, considering factors such as food quality, environmental influences, and individual lifestyle choices.

I also want to discuss the significance of consistency in dietary habits and the power of mindset in achieving health goals. It's important to create a personal vision for your health and to adopt sustainable practices that align with your goals.

We'll also dive into the complexities of fat gain, metabolism, and the interplay between genetics and lifestyle choices, emphasizing the importance of understanding basal metabolic rate (BMR) and non-exercise activity in managing weight.
