Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses how women who gain weight as they age are usually losing their metabolic flexibility, meaning they’re becoming less able to shift from using carbs to fat as a fuel source. Having a healthy, flexible metabolism means being able to use both carbs and fat as fuel sources as needed based on context. Poor metabolic health leads to issues with weight loss and weight maintenance. The ability to shift between fuel sources is determined by lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, exercise and stress management. However, 88% of the US population is metabolically inflexible. The video discusses a system developed by the guests, which measures metabolic flexibility and helps people understand the impact of their lifestyle choices on their metabolic health. The system is based on technology that was miniaturized from large, cumbersome equipment previously used in hospitals and exercise physiology labs.

Summary of Description:
The key to boosting weight loss efforts may be hacking one’s metabolism, which can be determined by using Lumen, a device developed by Michal Mor and Merav Mor that uses breath to determine if the body is burning fat or carbs in real time. By focusing on the four pillars of optimal health, measuring metabolism in one breath, and gradually pushing the body to burn fat as fuel, weight loss can be optimized. Other important factors include the quality of food, avoiding stress, and getting enough of specific nutrients. The episode was sponsored by Lumen, but Dr. Gundry’s opinions are his own.

Hacking Your Metabolism to Achieve Optimal Health
Have you ever been fed up with trying to lose weight, eating healthy and exercising regularly, but not seeing the results you want? You may be feeling like your metabolism is holding you back, but the good news is that hacking your metabolism could be the key to achieving your health goals.
Twin sisters, Michal Mor and Merav Mor, are the co-developers of Lumen, a device that uses your breath to determine if your body is burning fat or carbs in real time. They recently joined Dr. Gundry for an informative discussion on how you can measure your metabolism and optimize your health goals.
Menopause and Your Metabolism
Many people assume that menopause is the main culprit for weight gain, but Michal and Merav reveal that there are other factors that can have an impact. They suggest paying attention to the quality of your food, the amount of sleep you’re getting, and the level of stress in your life.
Four Pillars for Optimal Health
When it comes to achieving an efficient metabolism, 50% of normal individuals are missing something. Michal and Merav suggest focusing on four pillars for optimal health: nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management. By focusing on these areas, you can help your body burn fat more efficiently and achieve your weight loss goals.
Measuring Your Metabolism in Just One Breath
Lumen allows you to measure your metabolism in just one breath, giving insight into which type of fuel, fat or carbs, your body needs for higher energy. Additionally, they emphasize that eating fat does not make you fat – in fact, it can actually help you lose weight.
Ditch Counting Calories and the Scale
It’s time to ditch those calorie-counting apps and focus on measuring your health in a more meaningful way. Michal and Merav recommend focusing on the quality of your food and using a wider range of metrics to gauge your progress.
The Impact of Fasting on Metabolic Flexibility
Fasting can have a significant impact on your metabolic flexibility, but it’s important to avoid putting your body in “stress mode”. They recommend gradually pushing your body to burn fat as fuel and optimizing weight loss.
Paying Attention to the Quality of Your Food
Finally, Michal and Merav emphasize that paying attention to the quality of your food is more important than the simple habit of eating. By focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods, you can improve your metabolic health and achieve your health goals.
In conclusion, by using Lumen to measure your metabolism and focusing on the four pillars of optimal health, you can hack your metabolism and achieve your weight loss goals. Don’t give up – you can achieve optimal health with a little bit of effort and focus.
