A New Way of Looking at What and When You Eat

What if your slowing metabolism is less about your age and more about what and when you are eating? In most cases, people eat too little of the foods they need and start eating far too late in their day. This pattern undermines the body’s attempt to burn fat as its predominant fuel source. The solution: retrain the cellular processes responsible for how we generate energy.

In this weekend program, nutrition scientist and researcher John Bagnulo, PhD explains the science of metabolism and what it takes to maintain a healthy, fat-based metabolism while staying nourished and resilient.

At the center of the conversation is mitochondrial health. Mitochondria age faster when they become reliant on carbohydrates and are deprived of specific saturated fatty acids and fat as a primary source of energy.

John addresses one of the most underrecognized contributors to a slow metabolism: early morning caloric and fat restriction, often combined with just enough carbohydrates to keep the body looking for sugar as its fuel. Shifting to a fat-based metabolism requires the right combination of protein and fat early in the day to promote increased beta oxidation, thermogenesis, and greater lean body mass.

In this program, you’ll discover:

• A clear understanding of how metabolism works: why it changes as we age, why eating less isn’t a solution, and how eating the wrong foods influences it
• Knowledge of the specific foods most critical for optimal metabolism, gaining lean body mass, and overall metabolic health
• Insight into how a fat-based metabolism protects against chronic disease
• Practical, repeatable recipes made from easily attainable foods that support optimal metabolism
• A framework for metabolic flexibility that benefits both body composition and performance

This is not about restriction or fear. It is about giving the body what it has always needed. Come learn what that means and what you can do about it.
