Concerned about your shifting metabolism? You should be. We spend so much time analyzing how many calories we burn at the gym as we work hard to get into that seemingly elusive “fat burning zone”, but Clinical Nutritionist and Chiropractic Sports Physician, Dr. Len Lopez would like you to question, what you are burning the other 23 hours of the day.
