What Does Metabolic Health Actually Mean?

Metabolic Health plays a pivotal role in overall wellbeing, and as your trusted healthcare professional, my knowledge in this area can make a significant difference in your health. Here’s why you should consider expanding your awareness on metabolic health.

Did you know, 1 in 3 adults have Metabolic Syndrome or Pre-Diabetes and 80% do not even realize it!

Here’s how I would like to support you on your journey to health. Check out our Metabolic Health products recommendations below. Read the benefits.

1. HepatoVen™

Loving your liver is crucial due to its central functions in various metabolic processes. In this synergistic formula, turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome and artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf extract amplify silymarin’s (a compound found in milk thistle) ability to increase glutathione production, while nourishing and unburdening the liver’s detoxification pathways. HepatoVen™ also contains cholesterol-modulating phytosterols and beta-glucans from functional mushrooms.

2. EPA/DHA Marine or Premier DHA (vegan option)

We are only as healthy as our cell membrane! EPA and DHA are essential to modulating inflammatory processes, maintaining cell membrane fluidity and are cardioprotective. Low Omega-3 levels correlates to definite risk for cardio-metabolic disease. Researchers suggest adults should consume a minimum of 500 mg of EPA and DHA daily. Higher amounts are often needed for those with metabolic risk factors and during specific periods of development, such as pregnancy and infancy.

3. MicroBiome-18™

The health of our gut microbiome has a strong influence on metabolic health. Establishing a favorable intestinal ecosystem regulates blood sugar by affecting the way the body metabolizes carbohydrates or by producing compounds that influence the body's insulin response. Research indicates a healthy microflora has the potential to reduce obesity!

4. Adaptogen-R3™

Unburden the body, mind, and spirit with adaptogenic herbs! Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels are risk factors that can contribute to metabolic health issues over time. This includes glucose dysregulation, insulin resistance, increased appetite and overeating, abdominal fat accumulation, high cholesterol, elevated inflammatory compounds, and even disrupted sleep patterns. Adaptogens not only assist in modulating the stress response, but they can also affect glucose metabolism by stimulating the liver to convert glycogen to glucose.

5. GrassFed Colostrum IgG™

One of the primary roles of IgG is to protect the body against pathogens. By binding to potential pathogens in the gut, IgG can prevent their attachment to the intestinal wall and support a balanced gut microbiome. Additionally, colostrum contains growth factors that can help repair and maintain the integrity of the gut lining, preventing "leaky gut" which has been associated with various metabolic and inflammatory conditions. Some preliminary studies indicated that colostrum supplementation might have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels, which are critical components of metabolic health.
