Metabolic health influences how efficiently your body produces and uses energy, regulates blood sugar, manages inflammation, and stores fat. Conditions tied to poor metabolic health include type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and liver dysfunction. Our metabolic health experts include Dr. David Macklin, co-author of Canada's obesity guidelines, and Leslie Beck, Registered Dietitian, and former chair of the Dietitians of Canada. Metabolic is one of the five pillars of Medcan's Vital Five due to its connection to greater health and longevity.
