The debate around weight loss is a very rich one, with a lot of science-based information being added to it all the time and a lot of practical tips from those who have achieved a personal transformation being offered through social media. Despite the foundation of this topic revolving around caloric deficit and caloric surplus, another vital factor which needs to be taken into account is: metabolism. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Sara Gottfried to talk about the role that metabolism, metabolic adaptation, and hormones play in a weight loss goal. Individuals that also pay attention to these factors have more understanding on what it takes to eliminate body fat. Dr. Sara also emphasizes that specific diet protocols such as the ketogenic diet can definitely work, but it may vary from person to person. Tune in to learn more!
