Sustained Energy Substrate Management

Meaning

Sustained Energy Substrate Management is a clinical and nutritional strategy focused on optimizing the body’s ability to utilize and transition between various energy sources—primarily glucose and fatty acids—to ensure a consistent and stable supply of metabolic fuel. This management aims to enhance metabolic flexibility, preventing the energy dips and hormonal spikes associated with reliance on rapidly fluctuating glucose levels. In the context of hormonal health, stable energy substrate utilization is vital for maintaining insulin sensitivity and reducing chronic stress on the adrenal and pancreatic axes. This proactive approach supports consistent physical and cognitive performance throughout the day.
