Don and Dr. Nelson break down one of the most misunderstood topics in health and fitness: metabolism. They explore what metabolism actually is, why it's much more than simply "burning calories," and how factors like muscle mass, movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and stress all influence the body's ability to create and use energy efficiently.

The conversation also covers metabolic rate, metabolic flexibility, fat loss, strength training, aging, recovery strategies, and why improving your metabolism isn't about finding shortcuts, it's about creating a body that's resilient, adaptable, and capable of meeting the demands of everyday life.
