In this insightful session, Dr. Nasha Winters, a leading expert in integrative oncology, discusses the concept of metabolic flexibility and its importance in maintaining overall health and preventing chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. She explains that metabolic flexibility refers to the body's ability to switch between burning glucose and fat for energy, a capability that is often lost due to poor lifestyle choices and environmental factors.
Dr. Winters also emphasizes that many people, regardless of their appearance, may be metabolically unhealthy and are at risk for serious health issues. She stresses the importance of assessing metabolic health through regular lab tests and understanding personal metabolic responses to diet and lifestyle.
