In this episode, Dr. Steve explains the concept of metabolic syndrome, a term he's used frequently without fully defining it. He talks about how poor metabolic health, largely due to eating the wrong foods like carbs and processed products, can lead to insulin resistance and a range of health issues like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. He also emphasizes the importance of fueling the body with the right nutrients—amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins—to keep everything functioning properly. He also shares how making simple changes to your diet by cutting out toxins and processed foods can reverse metabolic syndrome and improve your health.
