Can You Boost Your Metabolism? What the Science Says
It’s a common goal: boost your metabolism and burn more calories—even while at rest. But is it really possible to rev up your metabolic rate? And what actually works versus what’s just hype?
Why Bone Health Matters (and How to Improve It at Any Age)
If you’ve had a DEXA scan with us, you might remember us asking you to guess the weight of your skeleton. We love this question because the answer is almost always surprising—most people are shocked to discover just how little bone mineral content they actually have. It’s a powerful reminder of how precious our bone mass is, and why it’s so important to protect and preserve it as we age.
What Is Visceral Fat? How to Reduce It and Improve Your Health
If you're focused on fat loss or improving your long-term health, there's one type of fat you really need to pay attention to — visceral fat. Unlike the fat just beneath your skin, visceral fat is stored deep in the abdominal cavity and surrounds your vital organs.
This kind of fat is much more than a cosmetic issue. It’s been directly linked to chronic health conditions, and many people don’t even realize they have it.
