Medical Training AIMetabolic Health Assessment and Optimization
Assess a patient's insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial capacity, and metabolic flexibility, then build a targeted plan to improve them.
What this track covers
Metabolic dysfunction underlies much of chronic disease risk and age-related decline in energy and function. This track covers how to interpret glucose and metabolic testing, including continuous glucose monitoring, and how to translate findings into nutrition, activity, and monitoring plans tailored to the individual patient.
What you will practice
- Interpret CGM traces and identify patterns suggesting insulin resistance
- Select and sequence labs to evaluate metabolic and mitochondrial function
- Differentiate metabolic inflexibility from other causes of fatigue
- Build a nutrition and activity plan targeting a specific metabolic finding
- Set follow-up intervals and metrics to track a patient's response over time
Simulator scenario
A patient with fatigue and weight regain brings in three months of CGM data for the clinician to interpret and act on during a follow-up visit.
Board question topics
- Interpreting fasting insulin and HOMA-IR values
- Continuous glucose monitoring pattern recognition
- Mitochondrial dysfunction signs and workup
- Distinguishing metabolic flexibility from glycemic control
