The Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) is a revolutionary new algorithmic test that quantifies six key biomarkers — small HDL particles, GlycA, branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine) and citrate—each highly predictive of poor cardiometabolic outcomes. Combined into a single Index score from 1 to 100, the MVX identifies drivers of poor health often years before […]

Join resbiotic’s Kara Siedman, RDN, CDCES, for a science-driven look at the Gut–X Axis—an emerging framework that highlights the gut microbiome’s influence on the lungs, digestive system, and metabolism. This session will cover how dysbiosis and microbial metabolites drive systemic inflammation and chronic disease, with a focus on gut-lung and gut-metabolic crosstalk. Rooted in the […]
Mangos. They’re cheery, packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, and though they’re quite sweet, they can improve insulin sensitivity in people at risk of type 2 diabetes.
