Ep. 6 - NEAT Why You Can’t Outrun a Bad Diet (and Why That’s a Good Thing)
Manage episode 488118533 series 3664277
In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, brought to you by KORR Medical Technologies, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber dive into the truth about exercise, metabolism, and body composition. Picking up from last week’s episode on fast vs. slow metabolism, they break down why traditional views on calorie burn are flawed—and why your daily movement (NEAT: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) may matter more than your time at the gym.
They explore:
The calorie pie chart: where your energy really goes
Why NEAT can burn more than your workouts
The myth of “you need muscle to burn fat”—and what muscle really does
The constrained energy model and how your body adapts to exercise
Why the type of movement matters more than how hard you go
Practical tips for making your life less efficient (on purpose) to lose more weight
Why metabolic testing is key to aligning effort with your unique goals
Whether you're a clinician, athlete, or just trying to feel better and live longer, this episode gives you the tools to rethink fitness as a lifestyle—not a punishment. Subscribe and share to keep moving smarter, not just harder.
