All Calories Are Not Created Equal

This week on Geeky Magic, we debunk the myth that a calorie is a calorie. In this podcast, we discuss how this is incorrect as it does not account for many other important variables, such as ghrelin, leptin, insulin, and fructose. We discuss how energy is made, mitochondria, cell metabolism, and recommended lab tests. Join The Better! Community On Facebook. Get the show notes here.
