In the first episode back, I interview Lara Briden, an expert in women's health and author of the new book The Metabolism Reset.
We discuss the complexity of this entire subject, insulin resistance, the impact of modern diets, and the importance of understanding how our bodies respond to different types of food and exercise.
Briden, a naturopathic doctor and author of period repair manual and hormone repair manual, shares her valuable and moderate insights on achieving metabolic health through tailored approaches, emphasizing gentler methods and the importance of addressing underlying health issues like gut health and autoimmunity.
This episode aims to help listeners understand and manage their metabolic health effectively during the menopause transition.
