How To Improve Your Metabolic Health

This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep, Athletic Greens, and
BiOptimizers.   Only about 12 percent of Americans are
considered “metabolically healthy.” That means the other 88 percent
of us aren’t meeting basic medical guidelines for things like blood
pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and other markers of
metabolic health. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Cindy Geyer,
Dr. Ben Bikman, Mark Sisson, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham about how to
identify if you are metabolically unhealthy, how to optimize your
metabolic flexibility, and much more.   Dr. Cindy Geyer
received her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees,
with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed
residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in
Rochester, NY, and is triple board certified in internal medicine,
integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The
Ultrawellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the
medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years.    Dr. Ben
Bikman is a renowned metabolic research scientist and a popular
speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. Backed by years of
research, Dr. Bikman’s mission is to help the world appreciate the
prevalence and relevance of insulin resistance. He is the author of
the book Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most
Chronic Disease—and How to Fight It, which offers a
thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and
reversing prediabetes, improving brain function, shedding fat, and
preventing diabetes.    Mark Sisson is the founder of the
popular daily health blog Mark’s Daily Apple, godfather to the
Primal food and lifestyle movement, and the New York Times
bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet: Reboot Your Metabolism
in 21 Days and Burn Fat Forever. His latest book is Keto for Life:
Reset Your Biological Clock in 21 Days and Optimize Your Diet for
Longevity, where he discusses how he combines the keto diet with a
Primal lifestyle for optimal health and longevity. Mark is the
author of numerous other books as well, including The Primal
Blueprint. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who
