S3E12: Kirsty Woods

Indirect calorimetry. A tongue twister of a word, but a game changer to metabolic health. Kirsty Woods of Metabolic Health Solutions from Perth, Australia has observed how valuable it is for research, particularly for polycystic ovarian syndrome, fatty liver, diabetes - basically anything associated with metabolism, but it's not just that. <br/><br/>A technology usually confined to laboratory and study purposes, she is determined to show its greater use beyond research. Experiences with different patients who benefitted from the interpretation of the data are a preview of how the knowledge gained from indirect calorimetry helps in clinical use, weight loss management, and the prevention of different diseases. <br/><br/>In this episode, Kirsty Woods provides concise explanations on metabolism and fat burning, addresses diet and lifestyle, and explains how, despite resistance to new technology, she knows the impact this technology would have, giving us a glimpse of a future that places value on metabolic health.<br/><br/>Quick Guide:<br/>01:42 Introduction<br/>04:54 The use of indirect calorimetry<br/>19:35 The discordance with people burning fat, but not generating ketones<br/>22:11 Burning fat as a sign of metabolic health<br/>29:04 The resistance that comes with every innovation<br/>33:14 Checking which fuel is being used<br/>39:04 Metabolic health and its impact on the body<br/>53:53 How surgery can change how our bodies make use of the foods<br/>56:28 Exercises that are beneficial for people<br/>1:02:28 Closing and contactsGet to know our guest:<br/>Kirsty Woods of Metabolic Health Services is a Registered Exercise Physiologist.
