    This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Manukora, and AquaTru. Have you ever changed your mind when presented with new information? I have—especially about the importance of calories and calorie tracking. A few years ago, I realized I was under-muscled and “skinny fat,” which shifted my perspective.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with guests on how calories and tracking can help establish a baseline and guide progress. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon explains why we should approach calorie tracking like how we manage finances and other areas of life.

    This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Bon Charge, and Ollie. We don’t often think of foot health as a factor in longevity.
