You think you're healthy, but almost all of us have insulin resistance without knowing it. It's the root of what comes next.
Metabolic Medicine
Your metabolism is
Your metabolism is
the foundation of everything
Metabolism is how every cell in your body manages energy: how it obtains it, transforms it, and uses it. When that process fails, alterations appear that can show up as insulin resistance, PMOS (formerly PCOS), chronic inflammation, diabetes, or fertility problems. At Ingenes, we assess and correct these alterations before starting any reproductive treatment.
What Metabolic Medicine is
Metabolism is how every cell obtains, transforms, and uses energy so that everything works. When that process fails, whether through diet, habits, stress, environment, or genetics, alterations arise that appear in very different ways: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, visceral fat accumulation, or hormonal imbalances.
What many people don't know is that the root of conditions as different as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS, formerly Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS), type 2 diabetes, certain dementias, and even some cancers is the same: an alteration in how the body processes energy. When the energy problem is in the liver, it shows up as diabetes; when it's in the ovaries, as PMOS; when it's in the central nervous system, as dementia.
"Any deficiency in the way the body processes energy is a metabolic alteration." Dr. Esther López BayghenCinvestav Researcher
At Ingenes, we assess and correct these alterations with two tools: a Longevity Test that measures the real state of your cells, and a personalized nutritional intervention that works on the root cause. We don't talk about curing: we intervene, reverse, and halt metabolic alterations.
Nine groups, one common root
Metabolic medicine at Ingenes serves nine patient groups, united by a common denominator: an alteration in how their body processes energy. It is not only for fertility patients.
1
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes has a metabolic component that can be intervened and, in many cases, reversed.
2
Cardiovascular
Your heart and arteries also depend on how your body manages energy: hypertension, dyslipidemias, and cardiovascular risk.
3
PMOS + ARMI
PMOS is an energy problem in the ovary. By correcting metabolism, we improve fertility. This is where metabolic medicine meets reproductive medicine directly.
4a
Menopause / Climacteric
Menopause accelerates metabolic alterations. Intervening in time changes the quality of the years ahead.
4b
Andropause
Andropause goes beyond testosterone: it's a metabolic imbalance that can be addressed.
5
Dementia
When the energy problem is in the central nervous system, it shows up as dementia. Dementia with a metabolic component can be intervened and, in many cases, reversed.
6
Obesity
Excess weight is a sign that your metabolism needs medical attention, with complementary pharmacological support when appropriate.
7
Autoimmune
Lupus, bowel conditions (IBS, Crohn's), Sjögren's, bone conditions, and thyroid conditions have an inflammatory component that responds to metabolic intervention.
How is it done?
Personalized nutritional intervention
A structured clinical process that corrects metabolic alterations, based on inducing a natural state of nutritional ketosis. It goes far beyond a diet or a food trend: it is a medical intervention with a scientific basis, with follow-up, clear goals, and measurable results.
- 01
Comprehensive metabolic evaluation
Clinical history, dietary history, lifestyle, risk factors, anthropometric measurements, body composition, and biochemical studies. Identifies the patient's specific metabolic alterations.
- 02
Personalized nutritional strategy
An intervention plan based on nutritional ketosis, adapted to the alterations detected, clinical conditions, food preferences, and life context.
- 03
Education and habit change
Sustainable changes in eating patterns, food quality, physical activity, sleep, and stress management.
- 04
Clinical follow-up and monitoring
Periodic visits to assess progress, monitor clinical and metabolic markers, and adjust the strategy. Ensures adherence and lasting results.
The entry point
Longevity Test
The Longevity Test measures two things: your telomeric age (the real age of your cells, determined by the length of the telomeres in your DNA) and your metabolic age (how your metabolism is functioning right now). Both are compared with your chronological age.
The Longevity Test does not diagnose a specific disease. It gives you a general picture of the state of your cells and defines the path forward: if telomeric age is altered, it may lead to stem cell therapy; if metabolic age is altered, it leads to nutritional intervention; or both. It is the entry point, the general screening that then guides what comes next.
When one technology isn't enough
Metabolic medicine shines when it is integrated with the other two. A case accepted for publication in Clinical Case Reports (peer-reviewed, 2026) shows exactly that.[1]
A 36-year-old patient with PMOS, excess weight, and insulin resistance had already had a transfer that did not implant, with an endometrium of just 3.6 mm. Rather than repeating the same protocol, the Ingenes team first corrected the metabolic groundwork:
- Ketosis
She moved from a diet with roughly 55% of calories from carbohydrates to a ketosis-based nutritional intervention, with monitoring to ensure adherence.
- 2 weeks
Her fasting glucose and triglycerides dropped, and her HOMA-IR index fell below 2.0, the threshold for insulin resistance.
On that corrected groundwork, the other pillars were added: the
Implantation Score, PGT-A, and Endogen™, which brought the
endometrium to an ideal 11.8 mm trilaminar structure. At
week 39, a healthy boy was born. Each layer addressed a
different variable; together, they built a continuous chain of
quality, from metabolism to egg, from embryo to
endometrium.[1]
