Sure. So depending on the study that you cite, we have upwards of 93% of the United States is metabolically unhealthy in some way. They're not checking all the boxes of saying, I'm in great metabolic health. But you're right. It's kind of... kind of abstract, nebulous term. People maybe think of weight gain, which is a part of it, but it's so much more than that, right?

So yes, it can be weight loss resistance or trouble losing weight, but poor metabolic health can manifest like low sex drive. It could... it could manifest as sleep issues, it could manifest as brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, depression, it doubles your rate of that when you're insulin resistant. That's really what's going on.

I mean, there's a central seminal event that's happening in most of these people. It is some degree of insulin resistance. There's somewhere on that insulin resistance spectrum, which if you're looking at that statistic, seven, only 7% of America is metabolically healthy. And I would say that's kind of, they have loose standards.

Like if you, as you know, like in functional medicine, we're looking at a tighter range of where does vibrant wellness live, which is where we get our name in functional medicine. Where does the body function the best? So we want triglycerides even tighter than what they want in the conventional setting. And most people, a lot of Americans have triglycerides above 100.

And that is like that proverbial Paul Revere. Paul Revere.

I'm glad you said triglycerides. Yeah, triglycerides above 100. is typically an indication that the body's saying, I don't know where to put this blood sugar, so I'm gonna store it as circulating fat or triglycerides. It's gonna store it around the liver and spike those liver enzymes, AST and ALT. It's gonna start raising that A1C, that three month average.

And there's, depending on the study that you cite, that's about four to 10 years prior to someone having type two diabetes. These people were on this insulin resistance spectrum. For most people, it didn't happen overnight. And that high triglycerides and that low HDL, so triglycerides above 100, HDL below 59, that ratio is a proverbial metabolic Paul Revere
