Struggling with your Biochem? In this episode, Zak breaks down the core biochemistry concepts you’ll need for the CDR exam — with a focus on what actually shows up on test day (no deep dives, just the essentials).

You’ll learn:
  • The inputs, outputs, and locations of key metabolic pathways
  • How your body uses and stores glucose through glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and glycogenesis
  • What happens in fasted vs. fed states, and how hormones like insulin and glucagon play a role
  • How to study biochem effectively with diagrams, stories, and active recall techniques

Whether biochem feels overwhelming or you're just looking to simplify, this episode will help you study smarter and feel more confident.
