Metabolic & Weight
Blood Sugar Spikes (Hyperglycemia)
Blood glucose rising above 140 mg/dL after meals — tracked via CGM — indicating insulin resistance, poor meal composition, or inadequate post-meal activity. Repeated spikes accelerate metabolic aging.
Hunger / Food Cravings
Strong urges to eat — particularly sweet, salty, or high-fat foods — driven by hormonal signals (ghrelin, leptin), blood sugar fluctuations, gut microbiome, or nutritional deficiencies.
Insulin Resistance
Reduced cellular sensitivity to insulin — requiring more insulin to move glucose into cells — a root cause of type 2 diabetes, PCOS, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. Detectable years before diagnosis.
Plateau in Weight Loss
Stalling weight loss despite maintaining a caloric deficit — caused by metabolic adaptation, muscle loss reducing BMR, hormonal changes, or inadequate tracking precision.
