I talk a lot about whole, real food and how it can restore your metabolic health. This inevitably brings up processed food — one of the worst offenders of metabolic syndrome.
Of course, there are many different ways to define the term ‘processed food,’ and not all processed foods are exactly alike. A working definition can help you make better decisions and avoid processed foods that could be masquerading as ‘healthy.’

He survived a massive heart attack at 63 and went on to win four world wrestling titles in his late 60s by embracing a metabolic health approach through diet, exercise, reduced medication, and mindfulness.
