Does exercise really boost metabolism, or is there a hidden truth?

In this episode, Dr. Emily Cooper uncovers the science behind why exercise isn’t just about burning calories. Dive into the fascinating world of myokines, the chemical messengers released by muscles that impact everything from mood to inflammation. Discover why it's not your fault if exercise alone isn't solving your metabolic issues.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Exercise impacts more than calorie burn; it's a signaling system for the body.

• Myokines, released during exercise, affect organs like the brain and liver.

• Muscle contractions broadcast vital signals affecting overall health.
