THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH THAT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE!
WHY IS YOUR HAIR REALLY FALLING OUT
- Nutrient Delivery: A healthy metabolism ensures efficient absorption and utilization of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids essential for strong hair.
- Energy & Hydration: Hair follicles are highly active and need energy; metabolic byproducts also aid hydration, crucial for scalp health.
- Hormonal Regulation: Metabolic conditions affect hormones (like DHT in PCOS or thyroid hormones), directly influencing hair follicle function.
- Blood Flow: Good circulation, supported by healthy metabolism, delivers oxygen and nutrients to the scalp; poor flow (e.g., from high blood pressure) starves follicles.
WHY IS WEIGHT LOSS SO DIFFICULT?
Compromised metabolism health
- Fewer Calories Burned: A slow metabolism (Basic Metabolic Rate or BMR) means your body requires fewer calories to function, making it harder to create the necessary calorie deficit for weight loss.
- Weight Loss Plateaus: Your metabolism adapts to calorie restriction, slowing further and causing weight loss to stall, requiring reduced intake or increased activity to break through.
- Increased Fat Storage: With fewer calories burned, more energy from food is stored as body fat, making weight gain easier and loss harder.
Common Symptoms of Slow Metabolism
- Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain
- Persistent fatigue and low energy
- Feeling cold often
- Dry skin, hair loss, and constipation
- Sugar cravings and difficulty concentrating
Causes & Mechanisms
- Energy Depletion: Running low on fuel (ATP, phosphocreatine, glycogen) within muscle cells.
- Metabolite Buildup: Accumulation of substances like hydrogen ions (H+cap H raised to the positive power𝐻+) and inorganic phosphate (H2PO4−cap H sub 2 cap P cap O sub 4 raised to the negative power𝐻2𝑃𝑂−4) interfere with the muscle's contractile machinery (actin-myosin interaction).
- Fuel Source Shift: During endurance events, reliance shifts to fats when glycogen runs out, limiting intensity.
Symptoms
- Heavy, flat-legged feeling.
- Muscle weakness and reduced force production.
- Tiring easily after activity.
- General body exhaustion, not just localized muscle pain.
We offer comprehensive testing to provide you with a clear understanding of your metabolic health and all of the health attributes that are affected by poor metabolic health. Our testing starts with a simple blood draw to determine your baseline. Following up by EPIGENETIC survey is suggested. Epigenetics is for those times when your doctor says your labs are fine, but you don't feel fine. You deserve more than basic diagnostics and analytics. Most people don't know that metabolic health is a major player in many common diseases, ailments, and disorders. Your metabolism is linked to things like nutrient intake, lifestyle and even the environment. The best way to prevent or treat sickness is to understand your metabolic health and what nutrients your body lacks that may be causing your problems. This is where epigenetics comes in to give you complete details about what your body needs. You will be armed with knowledge for prevention, and overall wellness. Submit the form below to receive a more detailed report about how to use your metabolism and epigenetics to start aging in reverse.
