Why do so many diets lead to more weight gain? Do more active people have faster metabolisms? Is exercise essential for weight loss? Over the past twenty years, evolutionary biologist Herman Pontzer has conducted ground-breaking studies across a range of settings, including pioneering fieldwork with Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania. This book draws on his eye-opening research to show how, contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level.

If you feel tired and hungry all the time -- and can't lose weight -- insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility could be why. Lara Briden believes that weight gain is primarily the symptom of metabolic dysfunction, not the cause. And if you have metabolic dysfunction, its because something is amiss with your brains regulatory mechanism, not your willpower. Drawing on her experience with thousands of patients, Lara has created a 10-step trouble-shooting solution created specifically for women, which will help you identify your personal metabolic obstacles, such as hormonal issues, digestive problems, ultra-processed food, chronic stress and inadequate sleep. Lara offers actionable strategies for overcoming these obstacles and explains why a simple intervention, such as fixing your gut, can reverberate through your entire system and naturally and effortlessly help to regulate hunger and burn more energy. Underpinned by solid science, patient studies and practical advice, this is a compassionate, reality-based guide to repairing your metabolism and reclaiming your health.

Nearly every health issue we face, from the fatigue we feel today to the chronic diseases that will shorten our lives tomorrow, is tied to how our bodies create and process cellular energy. Almost all illnesses and diseases are caused by a dysregulation in how our cells process energy. The body is made of 37 billion interconnected cells, each fuelled by glucose, delivered predominantly (but not exclusively) by the foods we eat. We are all aware of the impact of this in the body of someone with diabetes, however dysregulation of cells affects us all (even if we don't know it yet) and is caused by our unhealthy modern lifestyles, mainly too much processed food and a sedentary lifestyle, causing our cells to release too much insulin and preventing them from working effectively. Other pressures such as chronic stress and a lack of sleep and even microplastics and toxins in other products we're exposed to, damage our mitochondria (responsible for hormonal responses to stress), and can lead to cell death. And excess glucose in the bloodstream damages blood vessels, causes inflammation, and leads to further cell damage. Casey presents the data to prove this, and delivers on the solutions to overhaul our lifestyles and allow us to be our healthiest and happiest selves. Including a 28-day reset plan to reboot your metabolism and implement life-changing habits for good.
