About this episode
Lean Mass is the sum weight of your skeletal muscle, organs, skin, bones and body water. Fat Mass is the amount of fat in your body. As we age (which, sadly, starts in our 30's) we begin to lose muscle mass. The less muscle we have, the worse our metabolism works. Muscle is one of our greatest metabolic assets because it serves as a storage tank for carbs. The less muscle we have to store glucose, the more quickly it turns to fat. Thus, we start conceding more lean mass over to fat mass which is a major metabolic nightmare!I recently had a body composition scan to assess my lean mass versus fat mass (scale weight doesn't give you any insight into this important ratio). In this week's episode, I'm telling you all about it in case it's something you might want to do too.

It's all about Biblical foundations like, circadian health, hormones, mitochondria and God's original design. It's a simple yet powerful approach to restoring balance by aligning with the foundations God established at Creation. We'll walk through the essential elements of well-being—water, sunlight, grounding, real food, breath, sleep, and movement—rooted in both Scripture and science. www.thechristiannutritionist.com
