Metabolic Priming Strategy

Meaning

A Metabolic Priming Strategy is a pre-emptive, structured regimen of nutritional, exercise, or pharmaceutical interventions designed to intentionally enhance the cellular machinery responsible for energy metabolism before a period of anticipated metabolic demand or stress. The clinical goal is to improve metabolic flexibility, optimize mitochondrial biogenesis, and enhance insulin sensitivity to ensure a robust and efficient physiological response to subsequent challenges, such as intense exercise, fasting, or caloric restriction. This proactive approach aims to improve long-term metabolic health.
