Metabolic health influences far more than most people realize. They often only think of it in terms of weight. But it shapes how the body creates, uses and stores energy, and it begins with one powerful hormone. When insulin falters, it can trigger a ripple effect that reaches every organ, according to Dr. Damon Tanton, executive medical director of the AdventHealth Metabolic Health Institute.
In this episode of Inspiring Wholeness, Dr. Tanton unpacks what metabolic health truly means and why it goes beyond diet and exercise. Tune in to hear about:
· What insulin resistance signals in the body
· The factors that play a vital role in metabolic health
· What conditions fall under metabolic health, from high cholesterol to diabetes
· How AdventHealth is pioneering a preventive model that removes siloed care and addresses the root cause of metabolic disease
