Fat Burning and Maximum Aerobic Function with Dr. Phil Maffetone

This may surprise you, but there are plenty of athletes who are
fit but...unhealthy. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Phil
Maffetone discuss obsession and overeating, what happens when you
sacrifice your health for improved performance, and how to break
free of the toxic "hustle" and stop glorifying injuries. They
deep dive into the importance of maximizing your aerobic
function, high-intensity training and its relationship to
burnout, and the causes of metabolic dysfunction. You'll discover
why your maximum aerobic heart rate is important and determine
the volume of aerobic training that's right for you. Dr.
Stephanie and Dr. Phil discuss the proper nutrition and
macronutrients necessary for optimal fat burning, the effects of
seed oils, emulsifiers, and energy bars, and how food marketing
is influencing our choices. You'll find out how to improve your
insulin sensitivity through a two-week test, and get a glimpse of
the problems with carrying extra fat. Finally, you'll hear how
obesity hurts you in the face of viral infections, junk food, and
actionable ways to start making positive changes in your life.
