The root of all evil: Metabolic Health...and we're going to solve it
Dear Friend,
Only 12% of Americans are in optimal metabolic health.
Metabolic health is defined by key measurable markers:
Blood sugar
Blood pressure
Waist circumference
Triglycerides
HDL
Simply put, metabolic health is about how efficiently your body burns and stores energy—and when that balance is off, everything starts to break down.
The Bigger Picture: Why This Matters
Longevity medicine has traditionally focused on early detection and prevention of major diseases like:
Heart disease
Neurodegenerative disease
Cancer
Metabolic disease
But there’s a major shift happening. The research is clear: metabolic dysfunction is at the root of it all.
When the body starts storing more energy than it burns, it disrupts every organ—heart, brain, liver, muscle—leading to widespread disease. In other words, poor metabolic health isn’t just a contributor to chronic disease; it’s the cause.
The Growing Crisis
Metabolic disease has been rising in the U.S since the 1980s. Why?
Because metabolic health isn’t just a moment in time—it’s a lifelong investment.
Childhood obesity can set the stage for lifelong metabolic dysfunction
The “freshman fifteen” or extended periods of poor metabolic function can create lasting challenges
Historically medications alone have done little to reverse poor metabolic health trends because they don’t address the root cause—lifestyle behavior
We’re Fixing This. Now.
At BodyTimeMD, we know that behavior change is hard—but not impossible. We’ve built a system that makes it simpler, data-driven, and sustainable by focusing on:
Education - Understanding your body at a deeper level
Data - Personalized insights to drive real change
Community - Support and accountability for lasting results
This isn’t something we can afford to wait on. If we don’t solve this now, future generations will face even greater health challenges—despite all our advancements.
We’re gong to take the next big step—and you’re going to want to be part of it.
