Only 1 in 8 of Americans are considered metabolically healthy – a measure of your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference and triglycerides – which is alarming considering metabolic dysfunction is the root cause of many chronic illnesses. WHOOP VP of Performance Kristen Holmes sits down with Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician and Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of the metabolic health company Levels, for an in-depth discussion on metabolic health. They discuss the prevalence of chronic disease (2:37), inflammation (4:14), chronic illness and lifestyle (6:13), glucose spikes (7:56), metabolic health warning signs (12:55), sleep (17:33), exercise and glucose (25:21), a WHOOP-Levels metabolic health study (28:53), the importance of sleep consistency (39:43), walking after meals (46:33), and why we need to change our lifestyles (50:39).
