Inside Levels
New study finds high-carb diet doesn’t improve exercise performance
Research done in conjunction with Levels finds that packing in the carbs before exercise doesn’t confer any performance benefits.
New childhood obesity guidelines acknowledge root causes but fall short on nutrition
The new document from the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes childhood obesity's complex roots, but fails to mention sugar or processed food
New research reveals more ways metabolic health impacts cognitive decline
Four new studies highlight how diet—as well as blood sugar and obesity—increase risk of cognitive decline, even for younger adults
New research finds CGMs are reliable enough for dietary feedback
The study found that in a large sample of people without diabetes, CGM readings were consistent enough to be useful for personalized diet guidance
Our large-scale research study to establish a baseline for health
Dr. Taylor Sittler, Maz Brumand, and Levels advisor Dom D’Agostino discuss the current lack of robust, helpful data on metabolic health, and how Levels is seeking to change that.
New research sheds light on metabolites, exercise, and Type 2 diabetes risk
A recent study shows that increased exercise improves metabolic markers and takes a broad look at the molecules impacted by physical activity
New research finds exercise time of day matters for metabolism
Exercise and circadian rhythms are two powerful factors that alter the metabolism of most body tissues. This mouse study mapped those effects.
New study finds more exercise benefits high-risk prediabetes patients
Diet and exercise help prevent prediabetes from becoming diabetes. This study doubled exercise in patients most at risk and got even better outcomes.
New research suggests glucose test may predict cognitive decline
The higher a subject's results on a 2-hour glucose tolerance test, the more likely they were to show memory declines 10 years later.
7 Metabolic health studies using Levels
Levels is participating in studies around the world, looking at topics from hunger to stress. Here’s a look at all the research projects and what they hope to find.
New research highlights the damage caused by processed food
A landmark paper proves that obesity is not just energy in and out; the type of food matters. And while one study shows we’re eating more processed food, another reveals what can be gained if we clean up our act.
A simple guide to reading—and understanding—nutrition studies
A metabolic scientist explains why nutrition research can seem contradictory and hard to interpret. Here are 10 things to note when reading nutrition science.
No, too much exercise doesn’t likely damage metabolic health
A scientist takes a careful look at a much-publicized study about HIIT exercise and metabolic health and finds very little real-world concern
