The quality of your diet profoundly impacts your health and well-being.

Whereas nutrient-rich foods energize the body and help cells thrive, sugary, processed foods thwart cell function, sap your energy, drive weight gain, and increase your risk for serious illness. Research links high blood sugar to eight of the top 10 leading causes of death in the US, including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer.

Other aspects of modern life compound the effects of low-quality food. Poor sleep, chronic stress, and physical inactivity all negatively impact your body’s ability to make and use energy, known as your metabolic health. Strikingly, only 7 percent of Americans are metabolically healthy; and 73.6% are overweight or obese

The good news? Your metabolic health is largely in your control. Most people can improve their quality of life and reduce their risk for disease through lifestyle changes, such as eating differently, sleeping more, and becoming more active.

Yet, simply being told to make these changes typically doesn’t work. What does? Seeing how your choices affect aspects of health and life that matter to you.
