Boost your metabolic health

Your metabolism refers to your body’s ways of generating energy from food. Since every cell needs energy to thrive, a healthy metabolism is foundational for wellbeing.

Together, we can make data-driven nutritional changes to optimise your metabolism. 

Your metabolism is foundational for wellbeing

Poor metabolic health is associated with poorer brain function, energy, memory and mood, hormone health, skin health, and weight gain.

My Approach to Metabolic Health

Personalised nutrition is my passion: I love to leverage nutritional recommendations from your health data.

Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is becoming one the most important biomarkers for metabolic health. We can optimise your metabolism, by adjusting your diet to keep your blood sugar in a stable and healthy range. Learn more about CGM here.

Conditions Related to Metabolic Health

  • Medical conditions defined by excessive body weight. Overweight is defined as having a BMI of 25 kg/m² or higher, while obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.

  • Insulin resistance is when the body doesn't respond well to insulin, causing high blood sugar levels.

    Diabetes is a disease where the body can't regulate blood sugar levels properly, either due to not making enough insulin or because of insulin resistance.

  • A condition in which fat accumulates in the liver, leading to inflammation and liver damage, in the absence excessive alcohol consumption. It is closely associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and a poor metabolism.

  • A progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It is the most common cause of dementia.

    Alzheimer’s Disease has been nicknamed ‘Diabetes Type 3’ because of the association between cognitive decline and high blood sugar levels.

  • A condition in which the kidneys gradually lose function over time, leading to the accumulation of waste products and fluid in the body. It can be caused by various factors, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

  • Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which the force of blood against the walls of arteries is consistently too high.

    Dyslipidemia is defined by abnormal levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, such as high levels of LDL cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) and/or low levels of HDL cholesterol (‘good’ cholesterol). It is a major risk factor for heart disease.

  • A group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke.

  • A hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age, characterised by irregular periods, excess androgen production, and multiple cysts on the ovaries. It is associated with an increased risk of certain health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

  • Elevated blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol readings, and excess belly fat are tell-tale signs of a poor metabolism.

  • If you present with at least three of these symptoms, then you may have ‘metabolic syndrome’.

    1. Waist circumference of over 88 cm for women and 102 cm for men.

    2. Fasting glucose levels above 5.6 mmol/L (equivalent to 100 mg/dL).

    3. Low levels of HDL cholesterol (less than 1.04 mmol/L or 40 mg/dL).

    4. Elevated triglyceride levels (above 1.7 mmol/L or 150 mg/dL).

    5. High blood pressure (130/85 mmHg or higher).

    1. Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of physical activity or prolonged sitting can increase the risk of insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities.

    2. Unhealthy diet: Consuming a diet high in processed and sugary foods, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats can lead to obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and other metabolic problems.

    3. Excess body fat: Carrying excess body fat, particularly around the waist, can increase the risk of metabolic abnormalities.

    4. Genetics: Some people may be more predisposed to metabolic problems due to inherited genetic factors.

    5. Sleep problems: Poor sleep quality or lack of sleep can negatively affect metabolic health, increasing the risk of insulin resistance, obesity, and other metabolic abnormalities.

If you’re struggling with any of these; chat with a dietician to find a supportive, wholistic approach to metabolic health.
