The conversion of food into energy is a wonderfully complicated thing. It’s an undertaking so complicated, in fact, that our muscles and organs can’t do it alone. There needs to be a middleman between ingestion and digestion — and it requires billions of living organisms housed inside your gut. Experts suggest up to 10 trillion
You’ve been told eating fatty foods will lead to an early death. So you made the switch to a low fat diet to protect yourself from heart disease. But after years of following doctor recommendations and buying fat free yogurt, your lab work clearly shows that your risk factors have gone up, not down. What
Health isn’t produced by accident. It requires intentionality and dedication — and good data can give you a huge boost. If understanding the driving factors was easier, we wouldn’t have a modern health crisis involving 93.2% of US adults. But new technology has made our metabolic health both accessible and understandable. Tools like continuous glucose

Are seed oils healthy? That depends on who you ask. If you ask someone in a multi-million dollar industry with a lot of money to lose, you’d probably hear whatever they thought would keep the dollars rolling in — whether the claims are true or not. The global consumption of seed oil has increased nearly
Many of us have been conditioned to think that chronic diseases are inevitable. Once we reach 50 or sprout gray hair, we’re practically next in line for arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease. But this is just social conditioning created by decades of poor medical education. In fact, when you look back on history, the rise
Most conversations surrounding metabolic health are filled with technical jargon. This is well and good for the medical community, but it’s not helpful for those of us looking to reclaim our health. I firmly believe that education is the solution to America’s metabolic health crisis — starting with a solid foundation of common terms and
It’s no secret that poor metabolic health can cause heart disease. But it’s hard to have good metabolic health if you don’t know how to cook.
