Transform Your Health With Metabolic Wellness

  • Metabolic dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a key factor in a range of chronic diseases. Conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity are directly linked to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, while liver disease often stems from fatty liver, which is associated with poor metabolic health.

    Emerging research suggests metabolic dysfunction can influence neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia, potentially through mechanisms like inflammation and oxidative stress. Even cancer has metabolic ties, as tumors can alter energy metabolism to support their growth.

    Addressing metabolic health through lifestyle changes—like diet, exercise, and stress management—can have a profound impact on preventing or managing these diseases. It's a complex interplay, but understanding these connections can lead to more effective treatment and prevention strategies.

  • Let’s look at where you’re at now and plan for where you want to be. Careful assessment of lifestyle (sleep, exercise, stress, diet) and various biomarkers can help guide our plan to help you find optimal metabolic health.

    At a minimum, we’ll check the following biomarkers to determine your current metabolic health:

    Fasting glucose

    Hemoglobin A1c

    Fasting insulin

    Triglycerides

    HDL

    Liver enzymes

    hsCRP

    Apolipoprotein B

    Depending on your needs, we can add additional biomarkers.

    Two weeks of continuous glucose monitoring can tell you so much about how your body is responding to food, sleep, and stress. Let us know if you’re interested!

  • Understanding your metabolic health is crucial for creating a tailored plan that addresses any specific biomarkers that need improvement. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases and enhance overall vitality and longevity. It’s all about making informed choices and setting achievable goals.

    So much can be achieved with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Sometimes, it is necessary to add a treatment like the GLP-1s to help increase insulin sensitivity. We’ll discuss all the options at your initial visit!
