Welcome to The Metabolic Archives
Welcome and thank you for being here.
My name is Carlos. I am a retired physician with forty years of clinical practice, most of it spent treating diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and the web of related conditions that have quietly become the defining health crisis of our time. I have come to realize well informed patients are an essential part in achieving good medical outcomes and healthier lifestyles.
That is what The Metabolic Archives is for.
What you will find here
Every post on this publication is grounded in peer-reviewed evidence and written for people without medical training. No jargon for its own sake, no fads, no click-bait. If a topic does not have solid science behind it, it will not appear here. What will appear here:
Regular posts on nutrition, food science, general metabolic topics, medical news, with practical advice for a healthier living.
Foundational articles on diabetes, obesity, and food literacy, the kind of deep-background education that puts everything else in context
Clear, honest breakdowns of what the evidence actually shows including where it is strong, where it is uncertain, and how to tell the difference
What to expect going forward
The first posts will lay the groundwork, foundational pieces on how metabolic disease develops, what insulin resistance actually means and why the food environment matters as much as it does. From there we build. Think of it less as a medical blog and more as an ongoing conversation that gives you the tools to be an active participant in your own health.
I am really glad you are here. Let’s get to work!
— Carlos
