What Is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is also known as Syndrome ‘X.’

This disease process effects an estimated 23% of American adults and this number is most likely far too low.

It often begins in childhood with 90% of obese kids age 10 and up already demonstrating the early disease.

Metabolic syndrome includes high blood pressure (hypertension), high blood sugar (and high insulin), excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal blood lipid (fat) levels.

This is a terrible disease process that ultimately leads to so many very serious problems ranging from cardiovascular disease, kidney problems, brain mass losses, nerve problems, loss of limbs, blindness, and an early death.

It’s effecting more and more kids. This will limit their potential and compromise their health.

People with Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome X will have slower healing times which can cause many problems including the amputation of their legs in far too many.

The slower healing times and nerve problems are especially important for a Chiropractor that commonly works with people to help them recover from various injuries, nerve problems, and neuro-musculoskeletal problems.

The high insulin levels are very inflammatory in the body wreaking havoc on so many things, increasing pain levels, and making people feel terrible in general.

Lifestyle and dietary changes are necessary to prevent some of the massive damage that occurs over the years due to this disease process.

Syndrome X very significantly increases a your risk for diabetes, heart attack, and stroke.

Metabolic Syndrome occurs slowly over time and usually the person won’t have any real symptoms until later in the disease process.

This is like so many chronic disease processes ranging from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, other neuro-degenerative conditions, many cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s (which causes low thyroid), and so many others.
