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. It has been a lifelong dream for me. Function is the first-ever membership that includes over 100 lab tests and personalized insights from globally renowned doctors based on your results.
