Weight Management & Metabolism
Body composition, metabolic flexibility, and the science of fat loss.
Continuous Glucose Monitors for Performance: Signal vs. Noise in Non-Diabetics
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are migrating from clinical diabetes care to the performance community. Here is what the research says about tracking blood sugar for metabolic health.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Metabolic Flexibility: Beyond Weight Loss
GLP-1 receptor agonists are often viewed solely through the lens of weight loss. Here is how these peptides may fundamentally alter metabolic flexibility and cellular fuel partitioning.
Sleep Architecture and Metabolic Health: The Deep Sleep-Insulin Connection
One night of poor sleep can induce insulin resistance comparable to months of a high-fat diet. Here is how sleep architecture and deep sleep cycles govern your metabolic health.
Continuous Glucose Monitors for Performance: Signal vs. Noise in Non-Diabetics
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are migrating from clinical diabetes care to the performance community. Here is what the research says about tracking blood sugar for metabolic health.
Zone 2 Training and Mitochondrial Density: The Science of Metabolic Efficiency
Zone 2 training is often dismissed as 'junk miles,' yet it is the primary driver of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic flexibility. Here is how the physiology actually works.
Retatrutide (R3TA): What the Triple Agonist Research Actually Shows
Retatrutide is the first investigational triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. A close read of the Phase 2 data — mechanism, weight loss, side effects, and the questions Phase 3 still has to answer.
Insulin Sensitivity and the Pre-Diabetic Window Most People Miss
Fasting glucose is the last metric to change. Here is a comprehensive look at insulin sensitivity, the pre-diabetic window most people miss, and the evidence-based levers that actually move the needle.
GLP-1 Agonists and the Question of Metabolic Flexibility
GLP-1 agonists reliably reduce weight and improve glucose. The harder question is what happens to underlying metabolic flexibility. Here is what the evidence supports.
