Metabolic flexibility...we can test this with our metabolic testing facility…
METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY refers to the body’s ability to switch between different energy sources, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, in response to changes in energy demand or availability.
When you have high metabolic flexibility, your body can efficiently adapt to different metabolic states, such as:
1. Switching from relying on glucose (sugar) for energy to relying on ketones (fat breakdown products) during fasting or a low-carb diet.
2. Adjusting to changes in energy demand, such as increasing energy production during exercise or decreasing energy production during rest.
Having high metabolic flexibility is associated with various health benefits, including:
1. Improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
2. Enhanced fat loss and weight management
3. Increased energy efficiency and endurance
4. Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
5. Improved overall health and resilience
On the other hand, low metabolic flexibility has been linked to various health problems, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
You can improve your metabolic flexibility through lifestyle interventions, such as:
1. Alternating between high-intensity exercise and low-intensity exercise
2. Incorporating intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating
3. Improving your nutrition with the help of a Dietitian or coach
4. Getting adequate sleep and managing stress
