Metabolic Brain Health

Meaning

Metabolic brain health is a specialized domain focusing on the direct, intricate relationship between systemic metabolic function, including glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism, and the structural integrity and optimal cognitive function of the central nervous system. It recognizes that the brain is a highly metabolically active organ and that dysfunctions like insulin resistance profoundly impact neuronal signaling, energy production, and the risk for neurodegenerative processes. Maintaining this health is crucial for sustained cognitive vitality.
