30 - Metabolic Health: Understanding the Markers

In this episode, we dive deep into understanding what metabolic health truly means. We break down the key markers you should be paying attention to if you want to improve your metabolic health.

First up, blood glucose levels. We explore how to keep these levels stable, without the need for medication. Spikes and drops in blood sugar could indicate potential issues with insulin, so we talk about how to eat to maintain healthy glucose levels.

Next, we discuss the importance of stable blood pressure and how it's influenced by glucose and insulin levels. Maintaining well-controlled blood sugar and insulin can lead to healthy blood pressure levels.

We then tackle the topic of triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. We explain why having low triglycerides and high HDL levels is crucial for metabolic health. We also share a simple ratio you can calculate to assess your cardiovascular risk.

We also look at how excess weight distribution can impact metabolic health. We discuss the significance of waist circumference and provide clear guidelines for women and men.

But that's not all! We explore the harmful effects of abdominal fat, also known as visceral fat, and its association with metabolic syndrome. We explain how visceral fat can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Finally, we provide practical tips on how to improve your metabolic health. From regular exercise to identifying inflammatory triggers in your diet, we cover various strategies to enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and promote a healthy body weight.

Join us as we uncover the path to optimal metabolic health. Your body will thank you!
