METABOLIC HEALTH OPTIMIZATION

Metabolic health refers to the state of the body's metabolic processes, which primarily includes how well the body converts food to energy. Key indicators of metabolic health typically include normal levels of blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure, as well as a healthy body weight and waist circumference. Often, optimizing metabolic health is key to improving body composition, as well as reducing pain and improving mood. Not to mention prevention of the diseases associated with poor metabolic health.

​

Good metabolic health means that a person has a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other related health issues. It encompasses not just the absence of disease, but also the presence of optimal metabolic function, enabling the body to efficiently manage energy and maintain overall health.

How do we address metabolic health Boone Heart and Wellness?

​

• We start by assessing current dietary habits, exercise and body composition (including muscle, fat and water weight). 

• Indepth lab testing provides insights to both long- and short-term glucose regulation.

• We provide personalized lifestyle recommendations to address the issues identified and often recommend the use of continuous glucose monitors to better understand exactly how each individual responds to specific foods, stressors and movement. 

• When lifestyle alone isn’t enough, effective medications can also be thoughtfully prescribed to help patients better optimize metabolic function.
