💡 Know 93% of Americans have poor metabolic health. Poor metabolic health is the driver of most chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Improving metabolic health will help us feel incredible today and significantly improve our long-term health and health outcomes.
Here is what you need to know:
What are the markers of poor metabolic health?
Symptoms such as:
Overweight
Hormone issues (e.g., PCOS)
Thyroid issues
Low energy
Trouble sleeping
Brain fog
Fatigue
Depression
Anxiety
Lack of exercise endurance
Infertility
Balding / hair loss
Acne
Chronic pain
Increased appetite
Skin issues
You have poor metabolic health if you have three or more of the following traits:
Overweight (waistline of 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men)
Fasting glucose above 100 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol less than 40 mg/dL
Triglycerides above 150 mg/dL
High blood pressure (130/85 or higher)
What causes poor metabolic health?
Chronic overeating
Diets high in sugar, carbohydrates, and processed foods (e.g., bread, soda, candy, pasta, pastries, alcohol)
Lack of movement and sedentary lifestyles
Insufficient sleep
Exposure to environmental toxins
Chronic stress (creates a hormonal cascade that promotes energy storage rather than usage)
Eating late at night (results in higher insulin levels, which block the body’s ability to use fat for energy)
Ways to improve metabolic health:
Feel incredible today and prevent nearly every chronic disease down the road by adopting these practices:
Eat less or eliminate sugar, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods.
Pair carbohydrates with a protein or fat. For example, eat sweet potato with olive oil (fat) or chicken (protein) instead of eating it alone.
Exercise regularly.
Only eat when hungry.
Practice intermittent fasting. Finish eating between 5–7 PM and don’t eat again until 9–10 AM the next morning.
Walk after meals.
Eat more fiber (especially from vegetables).
Get higher quality sleep.
Lower stress (meditation, therapy, reading).
Limit toxin exposure (use clean skincare, hair, beauty, and personal care products, as well as clean household cleaning products).
Incorporate more walking and general movement throughout the day.
