Questions about weight and metabolism
What does metabolic health mean?
It describes how well your body uses and stores energy. Blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure and waist size are the usual markers.
Is this a weight-loss program?
It is medical care for your weight and metabolism, without the shame. Some people want to lose weight, some want better blood sugar or more energy. Your plan is built around your results and your goals.
Why test insulin as well as blood sugar?
Insulin can rise years before blood sugar does, so it can show early change while blood sugar still looks normal.
How often will I be retested?
Your doctor sets the timing, often every three to six months while you are making changes.

HbA1c and your blood sugar over time
A single glucose test is a snapshot. HbA1c shows the trend over roughly three months.
ApoB, explained simply
Why a growing number of doctors look at particle counts, not just cholesterol totals, when thinking about heart risk.
