What is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health issues. The condition is also known as insulin resistance syndrome, syndrome X, or dysmetabolic syndrome.

Metabolic Syndrome is characterized by a combination of three or more of the following conditions:

High blood pressure
High blood sugar levels
High triglyceride levels
Low HDL cholesterol levels
Excess abdominal fat

If you have Metabolic Syndrome, you are at an increased risk of developing serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. The good news is that there are steps you can take to manage your symptoms and improve your overall health.

What are Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome often develops gradually, and you may not notice any symptoms at first. However, as the condition progresses, you may experience the following:

Fatigue
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Blurred vision
Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Headaches

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is critical to schedule an appointment with a functional medicine practitioner who can help you get to the root of the problem.
