The cell is the foundation of life, and biological science is clear on what our cells need to most efficiently generate the energy that runs our bodies. Gut, autoimmune, and hormonal issues all have underlying metabolic causes. Let us cut through the noise and remember how to eat to enjoy, nourish, and repair, and not for ideology.
Dive much deeper with Kymber’s online course Habitually Healthy.
Check out the two info-packed bonuses that accompany this episode at the Medicine Stories Patreon.
TOPICS:
Energy and structure are interdependent at every level
Metabolism is not what most people think it is
Removing major food groups limits your body’s ability to generate energy
Metabolic safety for women- the body can’t heal if it’s in survival mode
What disrupts a woman’s metabolism
Restrictive diets are metabolic-lowering stressors to the female body
Women’s “progress” in society has come with a metabolic price
Being overwhelmed by constantly changing nutritional information & how prometabolic is different
The problem with too much plant consumption
Nutritional rigidity and a look at raw, vegan, keto, and paleo/carnivore diets through a metabolic lens
The importance of carbs- when we don’t have enough glucose the body will start relying on stress hormones for energy production
Kymber’s past with extreme food intolerances and how she healed them
The few foods that should be avoided because of their metabolism-lowering, gut-destroying effects
What fear of food, and black and white nutritional thinking, does to us
PUFAs- what to know about polyunsaturated fatty acids
The story behind the post-industrial vegetable oil toxic sludge we’ve all been consuming for decades
The way our skin responds to the sun is largely contingent on the foods we’re eating
When the body rusts from the inside out- iron, PUFAs, estrogen, and internal oxidation
Everything you’ve learned about iron is wrong and you’re almost assuredly iron toxic (this is so important, especially if you or anyone you know has been diagnosed anemic)
The trade-offs of trying to get our nutrients from synthetic sources
Copper, magnesium, and remembering that minerals are elements that originated in stars
Technology cannot make us healthier
The nutrients in animal foods are vastly more abundant and bioavailable than those in plant foods
Eating this one food everyday has dramatically improved both my and Kymber’s health

0:00.0 | we are so connected, we are so in reliance with the earth and the sun and the minerals and the |
0:06.0 | elements that we cannot survive, we will start to deteriorate without getting these things from |
0:10.7 | those external sources. |
0:17.6 | Hi friends, welcome to the Medicine Stories podcast where we are remembering what it is to be |
0:23.2 | human upon the earth. I'm Amber Magnolia Hill, this is episode 87 with Kimber Maldon, all about |
0:34.4 | food and energy generation at the cellular level. We're specifically speaking to women in this |
0:43.2 | episode, but it's for anyone with a body that contains cells inside of it. So yeah, do you ever |
0:52.4 | feel like your body isn't working right? Like you want a little more energy or to not have |
0:57.8 | gut or autoimmune, hormonal, fertility, etc. issues? Or do you ever feel super overwhelmed by all the |
1:08.4 | conflicting nutritional information out there? If you said no to either of those, you must be very |
1:15.0 | young or maybe you've already found the pro metabolic framework. So we talk about this in the |
1:23.2 | episode, but I really want to frame this conversation very clearly from the beginning. So this is |
1:29.2 | a long episode. Two hours is the interview and then there's like an hour and a half of bonus |
1:37.6 | audio over at Patreon and I'll talk about that too. And this is not going to be a short intro |
1:43.8 | because this feels so big and so important and has been so positively life-changing for me |
1:52.5 | that I really want to do it right because this also can be overwhelming, understanding the |
1:59.0 | pro metabolic framework. So pro metabolic has also been known in the past as the bio-energetic view |
2:06.9 | and it's not so much a nutritional philosophy as a deep understanding of the human cell. |
2:17.3 | And this work arises not from nutritionists but from biologists who were studying cell function. |
2:25.4 | So as I say to Kimber in the beginning of the interview, my concept of metabolism really goes |
2:31.4 | back to my mom in the 80s and 90s. Speaking of metabolism as how to burn as much calories or fat |
2:39.6 | as quickly as possible. And I mean talk about food confusion, right? It goes back at least to the 80s. |
