Metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and related disorders, have become a global health concern. Statistics reveal that over 650 million adults (13%) worldwide are obese, and about 422 million people (8.5%) have diabetes. In the United States, the percentages are even higher with obesity and diabetes affecting about 42.4% of adults (over 138 million) and 10.5% of the population (more than 34 million), respectively.

These conditions are not just numbers; they significantly impact health, reducing life expectancy and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

Managing weight and metabolic health is critical for several reasons:

• Prevents Chronic Diseases: Effective weight management helps prevent conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases.
• Enhances Quality of Life: Maintaining a healthy weight improves mobility, energy levels, and overall well-being.
• Reduces Healthcare Costs: Preventing metabolic diseases can significantly reduce the need for medical interventions and associated healthcare costs.
