A metabolic assessment is a lab panel, a full history, and an hour of conversation. We look at fasting glucose, insulin, thyroid, lipids, liver markers, and a handful of things that get skipped in a standard physical. Then we sit with the history: what you have already tried, what happened, and what got in the way. Nothing gets recommended until that picture exists.

Protein at breakfast is the habit Adaeze defends first, because it changes how the rest of the day negotiates with you.

Short sleep shifts the hormones that govern hunger and fullness, and it does it within a night or two. It is not a small effect and it is not a character issue. Dr. Halvorsen explains what actually moves, which is why we ask about sleep in the first visit before we ask about food.

Two weeks of cleanser, a bland moisturizer and sunscreen. That is the whole protocol and it is supposed to feel boring. Then we add one thing back at a time.

A cleanser that does nothing exciting, one active, and sunscreen. June has cut more shelves down to this than she can count.

A unit is a measure of dose. Your forehead might take 18, your neighbour's might take 30, and neither of you is being overcharged. At $12 a unit you can do that math yourself before you walk in.
