Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. It significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Functional medicine addresses the underlying insulin resistance and inflammation driving all these conditions simultaneously.

Common symptoms

• Abdominal obesity (waist circumference >40 inches men, >35 inches women)
• Elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg)
• High fasting blood sugar (≥100 mg/dL)
• High triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL)
• Low HDL cholesterol (<40 mg/dL men, <50 mg/dL women)
• Fatigue and brain fog
• Increased hunger and cravings
