Metabolic Health Case Studies

Fictional-but-clinically-grounded metabolic health case studies.

• He looked fit. His blood sugar told a different story. — A fictional case study: James has a healthy BMI and runs regularly, yet his glucose keeps rising. His story points away from weight loss and toward beta-cell timing, insulin sensitivity, and visceral fat hidden behind a normal BMI.
• He did everything right. The gout kept coming back. — A fictional case study: Hiro followed a strict low-purine diet for a year and still had gout. His SLC2A9 and ABCG2 results explain why uric acid clearance, not diet, was the main issue.
