Dr. Rood Talks Metabolism Rates 8-13-21

Dr. Jennifer Rood with the Pennington Biomedical Research Center was on the show to talk about a study that was conducted to determine when a person’s metabolism starts to decrease.  She talks about how people store and use energy based on their age and they determined that a person’s metabolism doesn’t drastically slow down until around age 60, which is much later than originally believed.  Dr. Rood also says that sex was not a contributing factor in metabolism because both men and women’s metabolism decrease around the same age.  Hear that and more from Dr. Rood here.
