Lara brings her expertise to the table, discussing how environmental factors and hormonal imbalances contribute to metabolic dysfunction. She passionately argues that the blame for feeling perpetually tired or unable to lose weight doesn't solely lie with individuals but is deeply rooted in our modern food environment.
Lara shares insights from her book, "Metabolism Repair for Women," explaining how ultra-processed foods and environmental toxins disrupt our body's natural balance. Her perspective as a former evolutionary biologist adds depth to the conversation, highlighting how our bodies are biologically wired to respond to certain foods and environmental cues.

She encourages simple lifestyle changes like getting morning sunlight and moving the body in enjoyable ways to help restore metabolic health. By understanding the underlying causes of metabolic issues, listeners can take informed steps towards better health. Are you ready to rethink what you know about metabolic health?
