Our bodies are not closed systems, so our environment, social networks, diet, hormones, microbiome, genetics, and more, all influence how well our metabolism works, or how well we can extract energy from our food. I\u2019m so happy to sit down with my good friend Dr. William Li to talk about what metabolism really means, why the old way of thinking about metabolism hasn\u2019t helped us, and how to make positive impacts on our metabolism at any age. \nDr. William Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease - The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. He is best known for leading the Angiogenesis Foundation. His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. An author of over 100 scientific publications in leading journals such as Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and more, Dr. Li has served on the faculties of Harvard, Tufts, and Dartmouth Medical School.\nThis episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Cozy Earth, and InsideTracker.\nYou can check out a free, live demo with a Q&A or create an account at RupaHealth.com.\nRight now, get 40% off your Cozy Earth sheets at cozyearth.com and use code MARK40.\nInsideTracker is offering my community 20% off at insidetracker.com/drhyman.\nHere are more details from our interview (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\n\nShifting away from the idea that eating less and exercising more is the key to weight loss (4:51 / 2:12)\xa0\n\nHow calories affect metabolism (13:14 / 11:25)\xa0\xa0\n\nResearch measuring the four phases of metabolism as we age (16:07 / 13:36)\xa0\n\nWhat is metabolism?
