Energy metabolism is how the body converts food into ATP, the fuel that powers every cell. Calories alone don’t determine health—fuel type does. Glucose requires insulin and has limited storage, while nutritional fats produce ketones that enter cells easily, generate more stable energy, and place less stress on metabolism. Ketogenic metabolism supports mitochondrial efficiency, lower insulin demand, reduced inflammation, and long-term metabolic resilience.

Dr. Chris Knobbe links the surge in chronic diseases—like obesity and diabetes—to the rise of seed oil consumption. From 1922–1987, obesity rose 600% while seed oil intake jumped from 78 to 497 calories/day. Seed oils damage metabolism, promote inflammation, and are nutrient-poor. Once used as machine oil, they now make up ⅓ of U.S. calories. To avoid them: skip packaged foods, eat whole foods, and cook with healthy fats like butter or olive oil.

Exercise triggers the release of irisin, a natural hormone that may help convert white fat to calorie-burning brown fat, improving metabolism and lowering diabetes risk. Brown fat burns energy, while white fat stores it. Cold exposure, genetic factors, and irisin may promote this fat transformation. Increasing brown fat could be a breakthrough for weight loss and metabolic health.
