Metabolic Health and Your Longevity

Discover the critical link between how your body processes energy and how long you live. Learn the key markers that tell the story of your metabolic health. Metabolic health is the foundation upon which a long healthspan is built. It refers to how well your body can process and utilize energy from the food you eat. When your metabolism is flexible and efficient, your cells have the energy they need to thrive. When it becomes dysfunctional—a state often characterized by insulin resistance—it sets the stage for a cascade of age-related problems. In this article, we explore the key components of metabolic health, the biomarkers you can use to track it (like fasting glucose, HbA1c, and triglycerides), and the lifestyle interventions that can restore a youthful, flexible metabolism.
