What it is
Metabolic health is a loose term for how well the body handles sugar, fat and energy, usually judged by waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. It is in the news because of the GLP-1 drugs, continuous glucose monitors sold to people without diabetes, and research linking visceral fat, inflammation and ageing. The underlying science on diabetes and heart risk is solid; the consumer market built on it, from glucose-tracking apps to ‘metabolic’ supplements, mostly is not. Weigh the source.
