Reading about metabolic fitness, you'll encounter plenty of technical terms and abbreviations—here are simple definitions of some of the most common.
Insulin resistance is a shockingly common condition spurred on by diet and lifestyle. Here are the processes in your body that lead to this dangerous state.
Quick answers to queries like why we measure glucose, how to avoid blood-sugar spikes, and when you can get Levels for yourself
These are the doctors, researchers and experts who make us smarter about how diet and lifestyle affect our bodies and brains, and give us advice we can use.
A curated list of Levels’ favorite reads about how insulin, glucose and our modern diet affect our bodies and our world—and what we can do about it.
When a cell loses its responsiveness to insulin, which can happen due to various conditions, it becomes insulin resistant.
This article describes how to optimize your glucose levels while on a plant-based diets using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
Sleep quality and quantity have a profound effect on metabolic health. This article describes the mechanisms by which improving sleep hygiene can improve glucose control.
Metabolic health can be improved by consistently making choices that keep glucose levels in a stable and healthy range.
Stabilizing glucose levels can help us control and manage our energy.
Fasting blood sugar levels classify into 3 categories: normal, prediabetes, and diabetes. To be considered “normal,” fasting glucose must be under 100 mg/dl.
