A1C shows average blood sugar but can hide early metabolic dysfunction, especially when high insulin levels keep glucose “normal.” Beyond Health looks beyond A1C—assessing insulin sensitivity, glucose stability, lipids, body composition, and inflammation—to detect issues early and optimize long-term healthspan.
This article highlights seven common “healthy” habits that can backfire, including overtraining, aggressive fasting, low-fat diets, excessive supplementation, rigid clean eating, overhydration, and misusing wearable data. While these practices are often adopted with good intentions, they can lead to hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, anxiety, or physical harm if taken to extremes. The key takeaway is that health requires strategy, context, and personalization rather than simply more effort or stricter rules.
This article provides a practical guide to choosing the right wearable device—smartwatch, fitness tracker, or smart ring—based on purpose, compatibility, accuracy, battery life, budget, and comfort. It reviews the pros and cons of each type, highlights top models of 2025 like the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Google Pixel Watch 3, Garmin Vivoactive 6, Amazfit Active 2, and Oura Ring 3, and emphasizes that wearables are useful tools but not miracles. The key takeaway is to align the device with personal goals, use validated features, and pair wearable data with healthy habits for meaningful impact.
High uric acid not only causes gout and kidney issues but also impairs fat burning by promoting insulin resistance and inflammation. While drugs like allopurinol lower levels and may aid metabolism, lifestyle changes—reducing purines, cutting sugary drinks, and staying hydrated—remain the most effective way to protect health and support weight management.
Inflammation protects the body in the short term, but chronic inflammation contributes to major diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Lifestyle strategies—such as healthy eating, exercise, good sleep, stress reduction, and gut health—are key to lowering inflammation and protecting long-term health.
Red light therapy (RLT) uses red or near-infrared light to boost cellular energy, reduce inflammation, and aid healing. Evidence supports moderate benefits for skin, pain, and wound recovery, while claims about mood or cognition are weak. It’s safe and non-invasive but works best with proper use and consistent application.
Healthy skin reflects overall wellness and requires daily sunscreen, retinoids, antioxidants, UV protection, and regular exams to slow aging and reduce cancer risk.
This article discusses managing Type 1 diabetes beyond insulin, highlighting adjunct therapies like metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and pramlintide to improve glucose control and reduce complications. Combined with lifestyle strategies and technology, Beyond Health emphasizes individualized care to optimize insulin sensitivity, stability, and long-term healthspan.
Beyond Health offers personalized, evidence-based care for women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, combining hormone therapy, nutrition, and strength/balance training. Their approach addresses systemic gaps in women’s healthcare, improves bone, metabolic, and cardiovascular health, and supports long-term vitality and quality of life.
Chronic inflammation is a key driver of many diseases, and measuring biomarkers like CRP, hs-CRP, ESR, IL-6, and TNF-? provides valuable insight into systemic risk and overall health. Elevated CRP and hs-CRP strongly predict cardiovascular risk, ESR helps monitor chronic inflammatory conditions, IL-6 links to insulin resistance and aging, and TNF-? drives metabolic dysfunction and frailty. Each marker reflects a different layer of immune activity, and together they offer a fuller picture of inflammatory status. Lifestyle strategies such as exercise, weight management, sleep optimization, and Mediterranean-style nutrition, alongside targeted medical therapies when needed, can lower these markers and reduce long-term disease risk.
