Want to take control of your metabolism and improve your long-term health? Reversing insulin resistance is only the first step. The real secret lies in activating AMPK — the master switch that powers your metabolism.
In this episode of the Wellness Zone podcast, Dr. Barry Sears and Mary Perry break down the three stages of Metabolic Engineering — using a rocket analogy to make the science simple and actionable.
- Stage one: Use a calorie-restricted, anti-inflammatory diet like the Zone Diet to flip the AMPK switch.
- Stage two: Add omega-3 fatty acids to reduce inflammation.
- Stage three: Introduce polyphenols to fine-tune and maintain the Zone.
When these three stages work together, they act like a precision-engineered launch sequence — sending you toward a longer, healthier life.
