How the Cold Can Improve Your Metabolic Health

In this video, I review the history of research into how ambient temperature affects longevity, before discussing the power of the uncoupling proteins UCP1 and UCP2. I discuss white fat, brown fat, beige fat, and brite fat, and I outline some of the lifestyle factors that can increase the browning of fat. I discuss the implications of brown fat for metabolic health, before I conclude with a recommendation of training in the cold while consuming a high fat diet to improve metabolic health.
