Metabolic Health Neurology

Meaning

Metabolic Health Neurology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that investigates the bidirectional relationship and complex interplay between systemic metabolic function and neurological health and function. This field focuses on how metabolic dysregulation, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and mitochondrial dysfunction, directly impacts brain structure, cognitive performance, and the risk of neurodegenerative conditions. It recognizes the brain as a highly metabolically active organ whose health is inextricably linked to peripheral endocrine and metabolic homeostasis. This integrated perspective is crucial for comprehensive longevity strategies and cognitive resilience.
