Understanding metabolic health with Dr. Casey Means

Описание: Only 1 in 8 of Americans are considered metabolically healthy – a measure of your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference and triglycerides – which is alarming considering metabolic dysfunction is the root cause of many chronic illnesses. Including heart disease, diabetes, and many others.

Our VP of Performance Kristen Holmes sits down with Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician and Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of the metabolic health company Levels, for an in-depth discussion on improving metabolic health. Dr. Means is on a mission to reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease, and that all starts with the right choices when it comes to your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress levels.

This conversation started when the WHOOP and Levels teamed up for a study evaluating how blood glucose levels interact with sleep, exercise, and recovery. The study found that higher levels of sleep and lower measures of stress (resting heart rate https://www.whoop.com/thelocker/norma... and heart rate variability https://www.whoop.com/thelocker/heart...) were associated with better metabolic health. The research also found that the previous day’s glucose management associates with sleep consistency the following day.
