Nationally, we are seeing drastic increases in cases of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental health diagnoses with ever-increasing health care costs. This presentation explores the critical role of metabolic health in preventing and managing chronic diseases. Through practical examples and case studies, presenters will illustrate how a proactive, metabolic-focused approach can lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced reliance on pharmaceutical interventions, and a decrease in the overall burden of chronic diseases, ultimately translating to considerable cost efficiencies.

Educational Objectives

• Define metabolic health, identify its key components, and explain how those components interact to influence overall well-being and disease risk
• Summarize how applying metabolic health principles can contribute to improved physical and mental health outcomes
• Discuss the substantial cost savings achieved in employee health programs and clinical systems through the implementation of metabolic health interventions
