EP 41 ­ Are you a fat burner or sugar burner? A conversation about metabolism (Interview with Stephanie Karl)

In this episode Matt Speaks to Stephanie Karl. Stephanie is a clinical dietician with a masters in sports nutrition. In this conversation the pair discuss the use of a metabolic cart in determining the fuel sources your system favours and how this propensity towards fats or carbohydrates can influence training and nutritional protocols to achieve weight loss goals or improve performance. Stephanie talks about the quality of our food and how a lack of certain minerals and vitamins can impact the health of our mitochondria which can affect our efficiency to utilise fuel and lead to over eating or lack of energy. The discussion then moves onto common misconceptions around nutrition and metabolism as we age.  Want to connect with Stephanie.
