Diesel, gasoline or electricity?

Diesel, gasoline or electricity? For an engine to run smoothly, you need the right fuel. For some this is electricity and for the other it is petrol; 95 or 98. The set-up of an engine is also very tight. A little too much or too little air in the cylinder and the engine fails. Your body won't go that fast, but a well-functioning metabolism does determine how food is converted into performance and how efficiently your body breaks down and eliminates harmful substances. When substances such as cholesterol, glucose, ApoB and homocysteine become out of balance, this can contribute to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.

What is Metabolic Health?

Metabolic health refers to the efficiency with which the body converts nutrients into energy, supports cell repair, and regulates hormonal balance. A well-functioning metabolism contributes to stable blood sugar levels, fat burning and optimal body composition.

Scientific research is providing increasing evidence that diet and metabolic health play a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases and improving performance and metabolic efficiency.

Risk Factors

A well-functioning metabolism has a direct impact on your performance and health by improving energy, concentration and endurance, while research shows that impaired metabolism poses significant health risks, namely:

• Disrupted metabolism: Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction increase the risk of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
• The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 11% of all deaths worldwide are directly related to metabolic dysfunction when eating an unhealthy diet.
• The Lancet reports that an unbalanced diet, with too much salt and too little whole foods, is responsible for 20% of global deaths.
• Research shows that a protein intake of at least 1.6 g/kg body weight is optimal for maintaining muscle mass and metabolic health, especially as we age.

How does LNGVTY improve your metabolic health?

You work really hard on your business. You are busy, always moving and, due to time pressure, you do not always get around to preparing a healthy meal. A voice in your head says that this has consequences. But what are those consequences? How well do you score when it comes to metabolic health?

It LNGVTY Core Membership offers a scientifically based, data-driven approach to help you LNGVTY Health Score and optimizing performance. This means you get the insights and tools to:

• More energy
• Better performance
• A longer, healthier life

To accurately assess metabolic health, we use advanced measurement methods. Based on this, we propose a LNGVTY Health Plan on to optimize and protect your health.

Physiological and biometric measurements

The Core Membership annual plan includes various analyses. This includes:

• VO2 max (Measurement of maximum oxygen uptake, reflecting your fitness and heart health)
• Body composition (Muscle mass, muscle distribution, bone density, fat mass and distribution, organ fat)
• Organ health
• Glucose management, including HbA1c (average blood sugar levels over three months)
• Insulin sensitivity tests to detect insulin resistance early
• Lipid profile (including LDL, ApoB, LpA)
• Ignition values
• Pulmonary function test
• Continuous blood pressure monitoring
• Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for real-time insights into metabolic reactions
• HRV (Heart Rate Variability) as a stress and recovery indicator

Optimizations & interventions

Food & supplements

Food is fuel. The right food choices and supplements ensure that your body performs and recovers optimally.

• Based on your measurements, we develop a scientifically based diet rich in protein, healthy fats and fibre-rich carbohydrates.
• Using supplements, such as omega-3, red yeast, rice, and vitamin D, to support your health.
• Research shows that a diet low in processed carbohydrates improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the risk of metabolic diseases.

Movement & training

Exercise is more than just training — it keeps your body strong, your metabolism active and your energy up. At LNGVTY, we look at what your body needs and help you build an exercise routine that really has an effect.

• Building muscle mass with targeted strength training, which improves insulin sensitivity and metabolism.
• Accelerate fat burning through smart training methods such as HIIT and cardio, tailored to your goals.
• Staying Healthy and Resilient, because regular exercise helps to reverse insulin resistance and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

Lifestyle & habits

Your daily habits determine your success. Sleep, stress management, and routine are crucial for a healthy metabolism.

• Sleep better and support your hormonal balance so that you wake up energized.
• Managing stress smartly, with breathing techniques and mindfulness that keep your head clear.
• Build a routine that fits your body and life without feeling like an obligation.

What can your metabolism expect from LNGVTY?

After an annual maintenance, you can count on a smooth running car. In LNGVTY's approach, we have no annual maintenance. An ongoing proactive approach ensures a latent and lasting improvement in your metabolic health. This is reflected in improved energy and mental acuity, an optimal body composition with more muscle and less visceral fat, stabilized blood sugar levels and improved insulin sensitivity, and a lower risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart problems. All in all, a sustainable performance improvement

In short, a structural upgrade of your body and performance, for now and for the long term.
