Metabolic Flexibility Basics For Faster Fat Loss

I’ve been fascinated since 2006 about how the body is able to switch from burning fat to burning carbs. I was so interested in this concept of metabolic flexibility  that it became the topic of my PhD thesis.   Check out the very short video below I created for you to help you with the basics   Remember, better metabolic flexibility equates to burning more fat and still being able to perform in the gym or on the field.
