Metabolic Health and Neurology

Meaning

Metabolic Health and Neurology describes the clinical and scientific field that investigates the profound and inseparable relationship between systemic metabolic regulation, including glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism, and the structure, function, and resilience of the central nervous system. This interdependency highlights that metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance or dyslipidemia, is a significant driver of neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. The clinical focus is on optimizing peripheral metabolic parameters as a primary strategy for preventing and treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. This approach recognizes the brain as a highly metabolically active organ.
