Metabolic Health

Insulin, glucose, liver fat and the drugs that changed the conversation.

Metabolic health is the part of the picture that blood tests see before you feel anything. It is also the area where the gap between what is measurable and what is meaningful is widest — glucose monitors and "spike" content have arrived years ahead of evidence that either changes outcomes in healthy people.

And it is the area the new weight-loss medicines have rewritten. We cover them as research and physiology, never as products: no doses, no protocols, nothing about how to obtain them. Those decisions belong with a doctor.
