Are you part of the 88% of people who are metabolically unhealthy—and don’t even know it? Do you know what metabolic health really means? Or why is it the root cause of nearly every chronic disease?

In this episode of Extend, I’m diving deep into the critical world of metabolic health—how it works, why it matters, and what you can do today to optimize it. With only 12% of Americans metabolically healthy, it’s time to take charge.

I’ll break down the science of mitochondria, share the key biomarkers you need to track, and show you how tools like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can transform your health. Plus, I’ll give you practical, everyday tips to flatten glucose spikes, stabilize your energy, and protect yourself from chronic disease.
