The Critical Importance of Metabolic Health
According to a recent study from Tufts University, less than 7% of U.S. adults have good metabolic health. But what exactly is metabolic health? Metabolic health is a crucial aspect of your overall wellness, determining how you feel each day and your long-term health outcomes. At its core, measuring metabolic health means taking a deep dive into how well your cells process the food you eat into energy your body can use. Recent research has tied chronic digestive issues, inflammation, neurological diseases, and many other symptoms and illnesses to poor cellular metabolic function in those areas.
Research shows that interventions aimed at enhancing metabolic health can significantly raise energy levels, mental focus, and even improve testosterone and estrogen levels, libido and erectile function.
Understanding and maintaining good metabolic health is essential not only for your immediate well-being but also for ensuring a vibrant and lengthy life. This is why measuring and improving these metrics, although requiring expertise, is indispensable. At Rise, we use continuous glucose monitoring and advanced lab testing to look at how your blood sugar, insulin, hormones, inflammatory markers, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other factors respond to your current lifestyle choices. We combine those findings with measurements like your blood pressure and waist circumference, as well as your own feelings about how well you feel and function mentally and physically on a daily basis, to provide you with an in-depth analysis of your metabolic health.
At Rise Precision Medicine, we integrate these science-backed approaches to help you not just live longer but to ensure those years are lived with quality and vitality. By understanding and managing your metabolic health, you empower yourself to feel great every day and enhance your life's length and quality. If you - or someone you know - would like to know your metabolic health status and how to improve it, we would love to work with you to achieve your health goals!
