What You Need To Know About Metabolism

Metabolism is the chemical process in which the body converts foods into energy. This is one of the most important bodily processes needed for life. Unfortunately, these chemical reactions that take place in these metabolic pathways are easily interrupted causing metabolic disfunction.

About 1 in 3 adults are predicted to have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome is a group of abnormalities that affect metabolic function and health that have the potential to result in serious life threatening conditions if left unmanaged.


Metabolic syndrome is diagnose when someone meets 3 or more criteria:


  • HDL less than 40mg/dl for men or 50 mg/dl for women
  • Fasting blood glucose greater than 100 mg/dl
  • Triglycerides level above 150 mg/dl
  • Blood pressure of 130/85 mm Hg or higher
  • Waistline of 40 inches + for men or 35 inches + for women

4 Common Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome

Diabetes: Metabolic Syndrome 101

Diabetes

One of the most prominent symptoms of metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance which if left unchecked can progress into prediabetes and diabetes. In this scenario the body is unable to efficiently make use of insulin to break down glucose in the body into useable energy.
High Blood Pressure: Metabolic Syndrome 101

High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure of 130/85 mm HG or higher is a defining factor of metabolic syndrome. Maintaining a high blood pressure level for an extended period of time puts you at a higher risk of suffering from a cardiovascular event like heart attack or stroke.
High Cholesterol: Metabolic Syndrome 101

High Cholesterol

Metabolic syndrome can cause the body’s cholesterol to become unbalanced causing HDL (good cholesterol) to drop and LDL (bad cholesterol) to increase.
Liver Disease: Metabolic Syndrome 101

Liver Disease

Metabolic syndrome increases the chances of developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Metabolic markers includes triglyceride. Metabolic syndrome can cause an accumulation of triglycerides – extra calories your body doesn’t need.

What Are Your Next Steps For Improving Your Metabolic Health?

1. Exercise


Daily Exercise can help improve your insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio exercises like walking, running, swimming, and cycling stimulates breathing and heart rate. It is recommended to get approximately 150 minutes of aerobic exercise every week.

2. Dietary Changes


Many health care professionals recommend a Mediterranean Diet for those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and those at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. This diet consists of minimally processed foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats like olive oil.

Address Anxiety and Stress: Diabetes 101
3. Improve Your Sleep Habits


Insomnia has been found to be a risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome. Keeping a sleeping habit that has you sleeping between 6-8 hours is optimal for metabolic health. Studies have shown that sleeping less than 6 hours and more than 8 hours can increase the risk of metabolic conditions and diseases.

Well Theory: Founded To Support Your Health Goals

Dr. Warner founded Well Theory according to her beliefs about functional medicine, or functional wellness, verses conventional medicine.

Take Charge Of Your Health With Well Theory
Conventional medicine often overlooks holistic, long-term lifestyle changes in favor of prescribing heavy pharmaceuticals, recommending harsh and invasive treatments like surgeries, and more in an attempt to stop pain or disease as it occurs.


Find Wellness Alternatives That Work – For You.
I think we all know that conventional and modern medicine is reactionary and piecemeal, whereas good medicine should be proactive and encompass the whole of you and your body’s systems.


How We Support You On Your Wellness Journey:
Functional healing focuses more on supporting an already healthy lifestyle – or adapting routines to create a healthier way of living – instead of merely responding to illness and injury with treatments designed to only address symptoms.


At Well Theory, we believe that you are ultimately in charge of accomplishing your health goals. We just give you the tools and resources you need to get started towards a path to better overall wellness.

We believe that you should be empowered in your health journey.
