The prometabolic approach to wellness has been gaining popularity lately, but it is rooted in ancient ways of eating and supporting the body. The more I have learned about it, the more I have realized that I have actually been following many of the prometabolic principles for a long time. This way of life goes hand in hand with the fromscratch homestead kitchen. Though I have already been implementing many metabolically supportive practices in my life, I still learned so much from this conversation. I walked away with new ideas to try and areas of my health to reexamine. Whether you are new to the prometabolic conversation or have been embracing this approach for many years, join us for this rich conversation about supporting our health in a truly sustainable way.
