Hello my friends! This special holiday episode is about how the hormone Insulin traps fat inside our fat cells, and serves as a primer for Monday's episode with best selling author Gary Taubes! We specifically talk about one research team featured in the book who uncovered a threshold for insulin in the body and how above this threshold, fat is trapped in our fat cells, and below this threshold, our fatty acid turnover or fat burning is high.
