Unpacking the Trifecta of Metabolic Dysfunction

This chapter sheds light on the misconception surrounding glucose and insulin as the root problem, emphasizing them as markers rather than the cause. It delves into the trifecta of metabolic dysfunction involving oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation within cells, stressing the importance of early detection through tests like fasting insulin and true mitochondrial function. The conversation explores the impact of cellular processes influenced by environmental factors, the negative effects of ultra-processed carbohydrates on health, and the critical role of maintaining proper mitochondrial function for overall well-being.
