Matt Stone: Metabolism - For Health, Weight Loss, and Beyond
Few know the central importance of the cellular metabolic rate in the prevention of the most common 21st century diseases - from common infectious illnesses to heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease of all kinds, infertility, obesity, and countless others. In fact, with the recent infatuation with calorie restriction and the fear of basic food components such as fat or carbohdyrates, it has become increasingly trendy to believe that a low metabolic rate is optimal - which has had incalculable costs to the health of many food and exercise fad followers. In reality, if your cells are not producing energy properly (one indicator would be a body temperature of less than 98.6 degrees F), it is impossible to metabolize and digest food properly no matter how "healthy" one's diet and lifestyle is. A close look at the specifics of human physiology in response to various diet and lifestyle manipulation, the central importance of metabolic rate along with many myths surrounding it, the devastation incurred with the standard approach to weight loss, and more will be the focus of this talk. The information is so counter to widely held beliefs about exercise and nutrition that many will have an identity crisis by the end of the discussion!

Matt Stone is an author and independent health researcher specializing in the connection between cellular energy production and metabolic rate with common health conditions such as heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, digestive illness, infertility, autoimmune disease, and more. He is best known for a simple nutrition and lifestyle-based program known as "Rehabilitative Rest and Aggressive Re-Feeding (RRARF)" that raises body temperature very effectively - what he feels is often the best exterior indicator of optimal cellular metabolic rate.
