Shawn Stevenson is a nutritionist, the host of the top-rated health podcast The Model Health Show, and the author of international bestseller Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to a Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success. His latest book, Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life, is out now. What you'll learn from this episode: How getting a handle on metabolism can be tricky because it varies not only from person to person, but within each of us from week to week—and what we often do to sabotage ourselves in this department. How growing up in a family that exhibited various metabolic disorders and chronic illnesses ranging from obesity to diabetes to asthma paved Shawn's career path in nutritional science. Why "You are what you eat" isn't just a folksy cliche your mom would say to entice you into eating more broccoli at the dinner table, but a literal scientific fact—and how even our best medical professionals are trained to treat the symptoms of nutritional imbalance while simultaneously neglecting its prevention. The repercussions of being the sickest nation in the history of the world and the numerous ways in which this tragedy is entirely self-inflicted. The silver lining of 2020's trials and tribulations.
