Are you ever too young to worry about your metabolism? The answer is no. In fact, you should be focused on your metabolism far earlier than you think!

Diet is incredibly important during pregnancy, especially getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids which are the primary constituents of brain tissue. If the brain patterns are not set down correctly during the fetal period, then the child may have a much tougher road in the future.

We think of genes as genetic code, but the genetic code is static. It doesn’t change. What changes and what turns genes on and turns genes off is called epigenetics, and that’s controlled by your metabolism.

Three components to Metabolic Engineering: Polyphenols, Omega-3 fatty acids, and, most importantly (and most difficult), calorie restriction.

There isn’t one type of food that burns fat faster. Rather, there’s a combination of protein, non-starchy carbohydrates, and monounsaturated fats that will burn fat most efficiently.

Improving the metabolism in the brain is the best way to improve brain health and cognitive function. Metabolic Engineering can be instrumental in this area, allowing you to reprogram every cell in your body, including those in the brain to produce more energy, helping the brain run at peak efficiency.

There are many ways to treat heart disease: statins, aspirin, GLP-1 agonist (among many others). But the best way—with the least amount of side effects—is by activating AMPK through your diet, like the Zone diet.
