Summary

This episode is brought to you by Joovv and AG1. Metabolic dysfunction is the largest health crisis facing the world today and our greatest limitation on longevity. An estimated 93% of Americans are in poor metabolic health and an estimated 88 million—more than a third of the adult population in the United States—have prediabetes. Of those, more than 84% have no idea they have a blood sugar problem, and yet up to 70% will develop diabetes within 10 years.  In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into metabolic health. I discuss what you should measure to understand your metabolic health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more.  You can test your metabolic wellness with Function Health, a company I co-founded.
