Metabolic health is important because it means that your body can efficiently make and use energy, helping your cells—and you—function at full capacity. Poor metabolic health, by contrast, means that cells aren’t getting the energy they need, leading to a slew of mental and physical challenges. Learn the basics of Metabolic Health including what metabolism actually is, how to measure your metabolic health, common metabolic ailments, and steps you can take to improve and optimize your metabolic health.

In order to maximize your athletic performance, there is no one silver bullet. Performance is based on placing equal importance on nutrition, hydration, training, sleep and recovery. This is not only to enhance your performance and exercise capacity, but also to ensure a healthier, injury-free athletic life. Too often, athletes only focus on one or two of these aspects which inhibits them from achieving optimal performance. Each one is just as important as the others and none can be neglected if you want to be the best athlete you can be.

The consequences of insulin resistance to long-term health can be serious. Insulin resistance is thought to precede Type 2 diabetes by 10-15 years and has also been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, certain types of cancer and even an increased risk of depression and dementia. The good news? If you are starting to notice outward signs of insulin resistance or have already tested positive for pre-diabetes, there’s still a good chance you can reverse the condition and prevent Type 2 diabetes by making some lifestyle changes right away.

It's often thought that a good immune system is a "strong" immune system. What does this mean and is a strong immune system always the best? Autoimmune conditions are proof that an overactive immune system can be just as problematic as a weak immune system. The key, therefore, is that a healthy immune system is a balanced immune system.

While medications are powerful tools to help manage a range of illnesses and diseases, they can also come with a variety of side effects. Patients often know to look out for common side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, or constipation, but there is one side effect that gets overlooked far too often and that is the drug-induced nutrient depletion.

Gut health is now recognized to be an important contributor to general wellbeing. Scientists around the world are investigating the relationship between the gut microbiome, brain health, cardiovascular disease and more. Achieving and maintaining your gut health day-to-day is an important foundation for overall health. This care circle is an excellent place to start to learn the basics and staples of optimal gut health.

Also known as non-celiac gluten intolerance. While not as serious and complex as celiac disease it is approximately 6 times more common. gluten sensitivity and intolerance can still cause health issues, discomfort and other unpleasant symptoms. With our functional care approach we offer guidance, advice, tools and tips to manage and reduce symptoms associated with gluten intolerance.

Celiac disease is a small intestinal autoimmune reaction to gluten exposure in genetically susceptible individuals that can be difficult to diagnose.
