1 week agoThe dark side of optimizing your metabolism
In the last few years, I've seen an increasing number of wellness and fitness influencers yap about fixing their metabolisms. For some, that means hawking supplements like Foodology's Coleology Cutting Jelly, NAD+ pills for improving insulin sensitivity, or powders that claim to "balance your hormones." Right now, my TikTok FYP is full of girls talking about the viral Korean Switch-On diet - a seemingly brutal regimen of intermittent fasting, protein shakes, and tofu. An obesity researcher purportedly designed the diet, which will "reset your metabolism."
