The Big Four

The “Big Four” refers to the four foundational lifestyle factors that determine metabolic health:

1. Exercise - Physical activity that improves cardiovascular fitness, strength, and metabolic function

2. Nutrition - The food and drink we consume to maintain health and metabolism

3. Sleep - The essential rest period for repair, restoration, and metabolic regulation

4. Stress & Emotional Health - Managing stress responses and maintaining emotional wellbeing

These four pillars work together synergistically to determine overall metabolic health and cancer risk. Improvements in any one area provide benefits, but optimizing all four produces the greatest impact on health outcomes.
