Angela is with Siim Land author, speaker and content creator talking about biohacking and health optimisation through metabolic flexibility

Siim shares some great content and information about understanding how to adapt your body so it can choose what fuel to burn on demand making you better at burning fat, burning carbs and developing all-round metabolic flexibility.

They also discuss the vital role quality of sleep plays in health optimisation and longevity in an episode packed with informative content.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Metabolic flexibility refers to the body’s ability to swop between fuel sources.
The human body can be very flexible and has a number of different sources for fuel.
Everyone’s diet should be personalised and the goal should be to be keto-adapted rather than in ketosis all the time.
A cyclical keto diet is when you eat low carbs for a period and then eat carbs to refuel.
The main stimulus for muscle growth is mechanical overload when the muscles are stimulated.
Working out in a fasted state will facilitate more fat burning because of fuel partitioning but you still need to be working with a calorie deficit.
There will be a reduction in your metabolic rate as you lose weight, so there needs to be a reduction in the natural calorie intake.
Sleep deprivation and stress can impact on weight loss as it makes your body hold onto fat
If you are constantly running on adrenalin then your body will start to produce less cortisol because the adrenals become fatigued.
Focusing on the quality of your sleep is key because sleep deprivation can have an impact across many areas of your body.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Metabolic flexibility enables the body to burn a required fuel on-demand’

‘If you get up in the morning and feel fatigued then it’s a sign of low cortisol’

‘Sleep is one of the most important factors for longevity’
