The holidays are a delicious time of year… and a dangerous time for your metabolism. In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber break down why most people only gain 1–2 pounds over the holidays—yet end up 30–40 pounds heavier a couple of decades later.
They walk you through a practical, science-based game plan: from getting your RMR and VO₂ tested before the season, to "calorie budget Tetris," mindful eating at parties, and building holiday traditions that actually move your body instead of parking you on the couch.
Whether you're a health professional coaching clients or just trying not to start over every January, this episode will help you enjoy the food, skip the shame, and protect your long-term metabolic health.
