What is metabolism? Can you change it? Does it matter? These are all questions we’ll be helping to answer in this week’s episode of Weight Loss 360° with Boots Online Doctor. Our host, comedian and author Helen Thorn, will be joined by our resident Boots Online Doctor weight loss team: Lifestyle Medicine Lead GP Dr Sam Wellappili and nutritionist and nurse Ruth Taylor.
