Title: Metabolism: How Genes, Epigenetics, Hormones, Environment, and Diet Control Your Weight

By E. Jenkinson

We all know the simple weight-loss rule: eat less, move more. But why is obesity on the rise? Is it simply gluttony and laziness, or is there more to the story? This book explores the complexities of weight management, moving beyond calorie counting to examine the crucial roles of nutrition, good vs. bad fats, genetic predispositions, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors. Learn how these elements interact to determine your body’s set point weight, impacting appetite, well-being, and overall health. Dr. Jenkinson explains why restrictive low-calorie diets often fail, and introduces the principles of metabolomics – a new science of metabolism – to help you achieve sustainable weight management and lasting well-being. This isn’t just about weight loss or hormones; it’s about transforming your lifestyle and mindset.
