Are You Pre-Diabetic? | Know Your Numbers

This episode is brought to you by Joovv and AG1. Metabolic
dysfunction is the largest health crisis facing the world today and
our greatest limitation on longevity. An estimated 93% of Americans
are in poor metabolic health and an estimated 88 million—more than
a third of the adult population in the United States—have
prediabetes. Of those, more than 84% have no idea they have a blood
sugar problem, and yet up to 70% will develop diabetes within 10
years.  In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know
Your Numbers, I dive deep into metabolic health. I discuss what you
should measure to understand your metabolic health in a whole new
way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges,
and much more.  You can test your metabolic wellness with
Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong
