One thing that is fortunate in our fight for metabolic health is that there is technology that can help. Here are a couple of my favorite tools: 

⌚️Apple Watch 

I use it to measure:

Heart Rate Variability 'HRV': HRV is the measure of variation in time between each heartbeat. It can be used to decipher stress levels in the body.

Cardio Fitness 'VO2 Max': VO2 Max is a measure of the max amount of oxygen the body can utilize during intense exercise. A higher VO2 Max is an indication of better cardiovascular health.

Sleep Duration: Several types of smart watches can track how long you sleep. Not getting enough sleep can affect metabolism and health.

Steps and 'Active' Calories: Step counts and estimated calories burned from activity can give you more data points into whether you are staying active enough throughout the day.

📈Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

CGMs provide real-time continuous tracking of blood sugar levels. This can help you see how your body responds to various foods, exercise, sleep and other factors. I wear a CGM periodically and also subscribe to a subscription app called 'Levels' to track my trends. If you concerned about their blood sugar, these insights can be super valuable even if you choose to just wear a CGM for a short period of time.



I’ve tried several ‘tech’ items and these are my favorite. By providing detailed and continuous health metrics, these offer insights that can help in making lifestyle adjustments including improving fitness, managing diet, and reducing stress.

Leptin

Leptin is the hormone that should be saving us from too much energy intake - from overeating. It's a satiety hormone - basically the 'full' trigger. Leptin and its correct functioning may be the key to a correctly functioning 'weight management system'.   I believe that it is common sense to think that managing our weight was not meant to be difficult.  We aren't supposed to have to count calories and macros. No other animal has to do that to maintain their ideal weight. Sure, there are animals with metabolic challenges but in general, most are able to maintain a consistent weight naturally. Humans are the ones that put huge amounts of measurement, thought and work into managing our weight and we by far are the most unsuccessful at doing it. So - what gives? If hormones allow a dog or a cat or a mouse or a bird to control their weight effortlessly, it would make logical sense that our seemingly inability to control our human weight is a hormone problem .

My 2 Month Lumen Review

One bright spot in the quest to solve Metabolic Syndrome is technology. Fortunately, we can get more data on what is really going on with our personal physiology than ever before through various devices and testing.   My friend asked me over the summer if I had tried the Lumen yet. She had one and was liking it.  It didn't take me long to grab one - I am a data geek so I get excited for any technology that provides  new, useful data on how to improve my metabolism. The concept behind the Lumen is intriguing. The Lumen website 'benefits' section claims that the Lumen device will help you to become more metabolically flexible .   An overly simplified description of  metabolic flexibility is to your body's ability to change from carb burning to fat burning (and vice versa) easily in the right scenarios. Metabolic inflexibility is the opposite and is the not desired state. If you are metabolically inflexible your body probabl...

I used to wonder why sugar is so harmful to health, especially since it comes from a plant. It’s not something artificially created in a lab—it’s grown in the ground!  The answer is what is removed before it is consumed. As a whole food, raw sugarcane has plenty of fiber. Even extracted sugarcane juice is full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Some people even refer to sugarcane juice as a health food.  All of these benefits are removed when the plant is processed into the white crystals we are all so familiar with. Maybe it really is nutritious and the natural form – and meant to be consumed in a much less quantity than we consume it today!
