Metabolic Syndrome > See the Complete List
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels) that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The causes are typically the result of an unhealthy, inflammatory diet; lack of exercise weight gain, and smoking. Integrative medicine will approach this condition with many tools: lifestyle changes in diet and exercise, laboratory monitoring, supplementation therapies such as those that help lower cholesterol, blood sugar modulation, and decrease inflammation are added to every wellness plan. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are excellent options as well.
