When you’re struggling to manage and improve your metabolic health, it can feel daunting - juggling lab results, lifestyle habits, and best practices to stay on track is often overwhelming.That’s where our L-Nutra Health Metabolic Checklist comes in.
In today’s world, the number of American adults with optimal metabolic health is alarmingly low. According to a 2022 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, only 6.8% of U.S. adults meet the criteria for optimal cardiometabolic health—meaning more than 9 out of 10 adults are at increased risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
In addition, nearly 98 million Americans have prediabetes, but roughly 80% of them don’t even know it. Since early signs of metabolic imbalance can often be difficult to recognize, taking proactive measures to assess and sustainably manage your metabolic health now is more vital than ever. Our doctor-approved Metabolic Health Checklist is designed to empower you to do just that.

What is the Metabolic Health Checklist?
Several factors are taken into account when determining if a person is in optimal metabolic health or not. At minimum, these typically include metabolic biomarkers like blood glucose levels, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, hip-to-waist circumference ratio, and the body’s reliance on medication. The L-Nutra Health Metabolic Health Checklist encourages you to assess the current state of your own metabolic biomarkers and health indicators, while also offering effective lifestyle changes you can incorporate to help improve them over time.
Here are some of the ways you can use the checklist’s personalized approach to better track, manage, and assess your own metabolic health journey:
- See if your biomarker scores fall within the optimal metabolic health range.
- Compare changes in lab results to note patterns and progress over time.
- Take stock of diet, exercise, and sleep habits that could be adjusted or improved upon to achieve better metabolic health markers.
Since everyone’s individual health goals and needs are unique, the Metabolic Health Checklist offers guidelines to help support you wherever you are on your journey.
Why It’s Important To Continuously Assess Your Metabolic Health
Poor metabolic health increases the risk of serious conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and stroke, as metabolic dysregulation plays a key role in their development. Therefore, it’s imperative to take key indicators like hypertension, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and excess visceral fat seriously.
With the Metabolic Health Checklist, you can take proactive and preventative steps to recognize and manage your biomarkers and lifestyle habits as early as possible. Over time, incorporating this tool into your everyday health plan can serve to:
- Help you gain a better understanding of how certain foods and habits directly affect your biomarkers.
- Offer real-time insight that can motivate you to continue making positive changes to your lifestyle.
- Support longevity by adopting daily habits practiced by people in 'Longevity Zones'—regions with the highest populations of centenarians.
