Metabolic Phasing Efficiency

Meaning

Metabolic Phasing Efficiency refers to the degree of temporal alignment between the body’s internal circadian clock and the external timing of metabolic demands, such as food intake and energy expenditure. High efficiency is characterized by the appropriate, rhythmic expression of metabolic enzymes and hormone sensitivity that maximizes nutrient utilization and minimizes energy storage at the right time of day. This efficiency is crucial for maintaining a healthy body weight, preventing insulin resistance, and optimizing cellular energy production. Disrupted phasing leads to a chronic state of metabolic stress and inefficiency.
