Metabolic Health
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic Syndrome can explain why you feel lousy today -- such as being tired and fuzzy-minded. It can explain why you have high triglycerides, high cholesterol or high blood pressure, why you are feeling lousy after meals, and why you are seeing your health spin out of control without knowing why. It can also explain why you are aging faster than your peers. More importantly, Metabolic Syndrome sets the stage for catastrophic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases.

Diabetes
Glucose cannot enter the cells alone. It needs assistance from insulin in order to penetrate the cell walls. Insulin therefore acts as a regulator of glucose metabolism in the body.
Hypothyroidism and Metabolic Rate
About 10 percent of the adult population is afflicted with this frequently overlooked disease of epidemic proportion. A dysfunctional thyroid can affect almost every aspect of health. It is one of the most under-diagnosed hormonal imbalances of aging, together with estrogen dominance and syndrome X.
Insulin and Aging
There are 3 consistent blood metabolic indicators of all centenarians that are relatively consistent: low sugar, low triglyceride, and low insulin. All three are relatively low for age. Among these three variables, insulin is the common denominator. The level of insulin sensitivity of the cell is one of the most important markers of lifespan.
