When we’re told our labs are “normal,” that doesn’t always mean they’re optimal—especially considering that over one-third of Americans are prediabetic and 47 million have metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic health is the foundation of true longevity. Without actively supporting it, the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes increases. The good news? Prioritizing metabolic health through simple lifestyle changes can lead to long-term vitality and meaningful transformation.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the most underrated blood tests for metabolic health and how to decode optimal lab markers.
Dr. Tyna Moore breaks down the science behind metabolic dysfunction and its connection to chronic disease. She shares the essential labs to order, how often to test, and what optimal results should look like. She also offers practical tips for beginners on getting started with resistance training.
Dr. Ben Bikman dives into how elevated fasting insulin contributes to insulin resistance, fat storage, and challenges in sustainable weight loss. He also explores how genetics play a role in weight gain and why lowering insulin—not just counting calories—should be the first step in any effective weight-loss strategy.
