Energy Stability Metrics

Meaning

Energy Stability Metrics are a set of quantifiable physiological indicators used to precisely evaluate the consistency and reliability of an individual’s metabolic energy production and utilization over a given period, moving beyond simple caloric intake assessment. These metrics often include continuous glucose monitoring data, specific heart rate variability (HRV) patterns, and the respiratory quotient (RQ) measured through indirect calorimetry, all of which reflect mitochondrial function and metabolic substrate flexibility. Assessing these parameters provides a high-resolution view of metabolic health and its close interrelation with complex neuroendocrine regulation. Significant fluctuation in these metrics can signal underlying insulin resistance or HPA axis dysregulation.
