What You Need To Know About Sugar, Joints & Your 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 serios 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

fatigue

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.

headaches and decreased eye sight

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.

muscle and joint pain

Joint Pain

Metabolic syndrome and high glucose are leading causes of pain that no one thinks about. Sugar destroys your body by increasing inflammation, turning joints into achy messes.

memory loss and brain fog

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.

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.

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.

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.
