What are "wearables" and how can they be used to improve health?
Plus sign
Wearables are smart devices, like fitness trackers or smartwatches, that monitor metrics such as steps, heart rate, blood sugar, sleep, and stress. At New Definition Health, I often use wearables (Oura Ring, Fitbit, Whoop, CGM, etc.) to personalize your lifestyle plan, optimizing movement, sleep, and stress management. By tracking data, we can enhance precision care by using biofeedback to evaluate your care plans.

Why is muscle so important?

Muscle is vital for strength, metabolism, and longevity. It boosts energy, stabilizes blood sugar, supports bone health, and slows aging. At New Definition Health, I prescribe resistance training for most patients to build muscle, enhance vitality, and prevent age-related decline.

How does temporary calorie restriction improve longevity?
Plus sign
Temporary calorie restriction, such as intermittent fasting or periodic low-calorie phases, can enhance longevity by reducing oxidative stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and activating cellular repair pathways like autophagy. These benefits support metabolic health, reduce chronic disease risk, and promote vitality. Paired with nutrient-dense diets and lab-driven insights, calorie restriction empowers us to thrive. I often implement calorie restriction in some form to enhance your care.
