The Science of Metabolic Health

Metabolic health is a key lever for health span optimization. Through metabolic health interventions, we can help healthy cells be more efficient in utilizing energy, and cut off fuel sources for unhealthy dysfunctional cells.

Measure Your Body's Response to the Food You Eat, Immediately

Getting real-time feedback on how the food you eat spikes your glucose levels is a powerful behavioral bio-feedback tool to change your eating habits, and optimize your metabolic health. By seeing how your body responds to the foods you eat, you can start to make changes to your diet and start optimizing your glucose levels to stay in a healthy range.

Fuel Healthy Cells, Starve the Dysfunctional Ones

Whether we are talking about senescent cells or injured cells that become cancerous, most dysfunctional cells have a common modus operandi: they are optimizing and constantly evolving to gain abundant access to fuel constant growth and proliferation.

Not all cancer cells are the same, and neither are senescent cells, but we know that many of these bad guys have a ravenous appetite for glucose. Glucose is not only the preferred fuel source, but oftentimes these dysfunctional cells have special ways of getting VIP access to glucose over healthy cells.

To make matters worse, when glucose rates are spiking, there are usually a bunch of nasty hormones flowing in your bloodstream, exacerbating things. Insulin and its compadre Insulin Growth Factor-1, for example, provide these cells with signals to grow and replicate, becoming fuel for the dysfunctional cell fire.
