Good Health, Ageing and Weight Depend on How Well We Fuel Our Body.
Most of Us No Longer Understand What This Means.
A well-fuelled body is:
- Energised
- Stabilised at a Healthy Weight
- Mentally Focused
- More Hormonally Balanced
- More Protected From Disease
- Stronger
- Ageing Better
A body that is thriving, not just surviving.
Built to Run on Two Fuels
For most of human history, our bodies switched easily between burning glucose (from the carbohydrates we eat) and burning fat. In the last hundred years, many of us have become stuck burning glucose, and over time that takes a real toll on our energy, our weight and our long-term health.
Clarity at Last
Clarity is finally emerging after decades of confusion.
What Is Metabolic Flexibility?
Metabolic flexibility is the ability to switch easily between burning glucose and burning fat. For roughly 300,000 years, humans switched between the two fuels far more readily than we do now.
When We Have the Flex
When you have metabolic flexibility, you feel steady for hours without food, both physically and mentally.
When We Lose the Flex
When you lose that metabolic flexibility, you depend on constant top-ups of glucose from carbohydrates. The good news is that it can be restored.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
You don’t have to figure it out alone. I help people understand how their body uses energy, through regular gatherings, talks and one-to-ones in my metabolic coaching.
Why I Do This
In 2009 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and told I would need medication for the rest of my life. Instead, I set out to understand why. I have been medication free since 2013 and am healthier than I have been in years.
