Poor metabolic health is the largest underlying cause of early death worldwide, contributing to a multitude of illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, obesity, and even some cases of infertility and depression. Sadly, many people are walking around without even knowing they need to address their metabolic health. Today I'm joined by Jen Nolan, the lead oncology nutrition consultant of Remission Nutrition, as we discuss why metabolic health is so important and ways that we can start improving it immediately at home.
