"Peak Metabolism" with Miles Price
Milese moved to Hong Kong in 2006 to focus on a more clinical and holistic approach to health. In 2010, he obtained a Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition, a Diploma from the Functional Medicine University in USA. Miles went on to be certified in Hong Kong with the prestigious Institute of functional medicine. Miles is registered as a full member with BANT (UK), a government registered body in lifestyle medicine and clinical nutrition.
In 2022 Miles launched Peak Metabolism a consulting business for patients and businesses wishing to optimise their health. Miles believes that gut dysfunction contributes to many diseases. In the podcast Miles tells the story of a patient who presented with tics, local and habitual spasmodic motion of particular muscles. By fixing the patient’s gut the tics were eliminated. Miles further explains that getting the basics right, eating a clean diet, adequate exercise, minimising alcohol, minimising coffee, hydrating adequately and managing blood glucose are fundamental.
In the Peak Metabolism, the practice of managing metabolic health is key. The Hong Kong Government are targeting the three highs – High Blood pressure, High Cholesterol and High Glucose and Miles highlights that metabolic disease can begin up to 15 years before a diagnosis diabetes. Further controlling “insulin resistance” at an age of around 45 may stop the development of type 2 diabetes, also it may also slow the development of Dementia, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Cancer and Chronic Kidney Disease. What can you do to manage your “Metabolic Health”? Miles answers this question and gives many other insights in the podcast.
