I have a preference for using simple metrics to monitor markers that make it easier for me to improve these markers that are related to metabolism. This way, I can go further than just saying I want to improve my metabolism. Instead, when I test and see a marker is off, I can work on it. If say, it's my blood sugar level that's swinging wildly from high to low, I can work on that aspect of it. I'll find ways to improve my blood sugar control and then monitor for improvement. When you are able to improve this, you will see some health benefits if you observing keenly. You may possibly see an improvement on your heart rate. This little improvement is a big boost to your confidence. Instead of frustration, you start to experience the joy of getting better, and it will take you to another level.
Instead of focusing on an abstraction, you are able to focus on something more concrete.
I also encourage you to ask many questions and not be tied to the mentality of "take this for this condition" without really knowing how and why it works. There are many things thrown out there. Over time, you'll be able to pick the best solution for your context, not someone else's. Then you'll be able to heal yourself more effectively.
