How familiar are you with your overall metabolic health? Metabolic health is essentially your body's ability to make energy from the food that you eat and support optimal organ function. It starts with your metabolism, which is responsible for breaking down your foods and creating energy, rather than storing it as fat.  But, you don't have to have diabetes or be overweight to have poor metabolic health (as I discovered). You could be in your mid 30's and be a normal weight, and still consistently experience blood sugar spikes throughout the day from lifestyle, diet, or other factors.  Here are some symptoms that can be signs of poor metabolic health: Low energyErratic appetite Unstable moodJoint or muscle pain Poor sleep Inability to lose stubborn weightRegardless if weight loss is a goal or yours or not, this episode is a must if you are not familiar with your own metabolic health.
