Energy metabolism is how the body converts food into ATP, the fuel that powers every cell. Calories alone don’t determine health—fuel type does. Glucose requires insulin and has limited storage, while nutritional fats produce ketones that enter cells easily, generate more stable energy, and place less stress on metabolism. Ketogenic metabolism supports mitochondrial efficiency, lower insulin demand, reduced inflammation, and long-term metabolic resilience.

You can’t go anywhere these days without running into calories. 👀 They're on restaurant menus. 🛒 On every box and bottle at the supermarket. 🏃‍♀️ And flashing on your treadmill screen as you watch the “calories burned” tick upward. We’re taught a simple formula: Eat more calories ➡️ gain weight. Cut calories ➡️ lose weight. But is it really that straightforward? 🤔 If it were, then 500 calories of roasted zucchini would be equal to 500 calories of Oreos. (Spoiler alert: Th

Industrial seed oils now account for nearly one-third of calories consumed in the American diet, while chronic diseases affect approximately 60% of adults and account for roughly 90% of healthcare spending. In this interview with Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Chris Knobbe explores the possible relationship between rising seed oil consumption and today's chronic disease epidemic, along with practical steps for reducing exposure to industrial seed oils.

Exercise triggers the release of irisin, a natural hormone that may help convert white fat to calorie-burning brown fat, improving metabolism and lowering diabetes risk. Brown fat burns energy, while white fat stores it. Cold exposure, genetic factors, and irisin may promote this fat transformation. Increasing brown fat could be a breakthrough for weight loss and metabolic health.

Professor Thomas Seyfried, a leading cancer metabolism researcher, presents his view that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease linked to mitochondrial dysfunction rather than genetics alone. In this fascinating discussion, he explores cancer prevention, the role of glucose and ketones, metabolic therapies, and how glutamine fuels cancer growth. The interview also covers whether cancer can be prevented and practical ways to monitor metabolic health through the glucose-keton
