What\u2019s the main thing you need to lose weight, have great brain function, be able to exercise, and generally live a healthy, fulfilling life?

It all comes down to metabolic health.

And for years, we\u2019ve been overlooking one of the earliest indicators that your metabolic health is headed in the wrong direction. This is something you can improve on your own through better habits\u2026 and can potentially help prevent some of the common pitfalls of aging. But only if you know how.\xa0

On today\u2019s episode of the podcast, I\u2019m joined by neurologist and Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, Dr. David Perlmutter, who is going to explain what this indicator is, its dangers, what your levels should be, and what you can do to turn the metabolic ship around.\xa0

It\u2019s an incredibly important episode for all of us, so don\u2019t wait to listen.\xa0
