What is metabolism? Can you change it? Does it matter? These are all questions we’ll be helping to answer in this week’s episode of Weight Loss 360° with Boots Online Doctor.
Our host, comedian and author Helen Thorn, will be joined by our resident Boots Online Doctor weight loss team: Lifestyle Medicine Lead GP Dr Sam Wellappili and nutritionist and nurse Ruth Taylor. Together, they’ll break down the myths around metabolism, what happens to our bodies during crash diets, the importance of movement and how to improve your metabolism, no matter what stage of the journey you’re at.
