Guideline screening asks whether you have crossed a threshold that requires treatment. That is a different question from where your physiology is heading — and most people have only ever been asked the first. 03Why the Scale Is a Poor Measure of Metabolic Health
Two people at the identical weight can carry entirely different metabolic risk. What the number on the scale actually contains, and what to track instead. 04Fasting Glucose Is a Late Signal
A normal fasting glucose is compatible with years of accumulating metabolic strain, because glucose is one of the last things to change. 05Where Your Body Stores Fat Matters More Than How Much
Visceral fat behaves differently from the fat you can pinch — and it is the compartment that drives metabolic risk. 06Metabolic Syndrome: Five Markers That Only Make Sense Together
Five findings that each look minor on their own, and mean something quite different when they turn up in the same person. 07Weight is a metabolic problem, not a willpower problem
