High Cholesterol, Blood Sugar, Hypertension and Weight Issues
High Blood Sugar, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Insulin Resistance,
Fatigue, Slow Metabolism, Type 2 Diabetes, Weight Gain in Abdominal Region
Metabolic syndrome, also called insulin resistance syndrome, dysmetabolic syndrome, or Syndrome X is a group of factors that increase your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
The body uses insulin to transport glucose into your cells for energy. Insulin resistance prevents the body from properly using insulin. Instead of transporting glucose in the cells where it can be used as energy, glucose remains in the bloodstream. The amount of glucose that your cells need for energy decreases causing your body to go into survival mode, which causes the body to store extra fat for energy. Additionally, your metabolism declines and you begin to experience low energy levels.
According to guidelines, if you have three or more of the below traits (including those you are using medication to control), then you may have metabolic syndrome-
Approximately 35 percent of Americans have metabolic syndrome; with the numbers increasing with age. In fact, by the time a person reaches 60 years old or older, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases to 50 percent.
The metabolic syndrome symptoms listed above are highly linked to diet, lifestyle, inflammation, and environmental toxins and can be reversed in the vast majority of cases.
Metabolic syndrome can lead to a number of health issues, including:
However, insulin resistance (high blood sugar) is one of the key underlying drivers of metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance can cause weight gain, sugar cravings, and low energy as common symptoms and increases the risk for type 2 diabetes and a host of other serious health problems, including heart attacks, strokes, memory decline, and cancer.
Insulin is a hormone released by our pancreas in response to a high sugar or carbohydrate load which comes mostly from our diet but can also be produced by our body in response to stress and inflammation.
Insulin’s job is to take the sugar or glucose from our digested meal and transfer it into our cells where it can be burned for necessary fuel and energy utilization by our body. If you have insulin resistance, however, insulin cannot do its job effectively. This results in the sugar or glucose remaining in the bloodstream and not getting inside the cells adequately causing high BLOOD sugar and low CELLULAR sugar. Low cellular glucose results in low metabolism and low energy due to lack of cellular fuel.
Several things can increase the risk of developing insulin resistance including-
Lifestyle changes make a significant difference with reversal of this condition.
Discovery – During your initial consultation, our clinician will perform a comprehensive medical exam understanding your past and present medical conditions. Your family history along with lifestyle choices and diet will be evaluated.
Analysis – Finding the root cause of your metabolic syndrome is the first step towards optimal metabolic health. This could be caused by environmental toxins, hormone imbalances, gut dysbiosis, systemic inflammation, a poor diet, or unhealthy lifestyle choices. We may recommend diagnostic tests and labs to help determine the cause of insulin resistance.
Personalized Treatment Plan – Once we have gotten a well-rounded picture of your metabolic health, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to optimize your health. Recommendations may include dietary changes, nutritional supplements, stress relief techniques, exercise, and bioidentical hormone therapy.
