ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Metabolism is the set of cellular mechanisms that produce energy from our food and environment to power every process in the human body.
  • Metabolic fitness is a term to describe where we fall on the spectrum of metabolic health and how well we are generating and processing energy in the body.
  • Glucose is a primary precursor for energy in the body, and needs to be tightly regulated for metabolism to work effectively.
  • Metabolic fitness can be improved by consistently making choices that keep glucose levels in a stable and healthy range, and minimize large glucose swings.
  • These choices may include selecting foods that don’t cause large spikes in glucose, exercising consistently, getting quality sleep, managing stress, adding in nutrients and foods that improve our processing of glucose, and avoiding environmental toxins that are known to disrupt metabolic function.
  • Poor metabolic fitness is associated with worse brain function, energy, memory, mood, skin health, fertility, and risk for chronic disease.
  • As a country, our metabolic fitness is poor, as evidenced by 88% of the American population displaying at least one biomarker of metabolic dysfunction.
  • Metabolic dysfunction underlies most chronic diseases.
  • Using continuous glucose monitoring can help individuals understand and improve their metabolic fitness.
