Description

What is metabolic syndrome and how does it affect the body?


Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that include:


  • High blood pressure

  • High cholesterol

  • High blood sugar

  • Excess body fat around the waist (apple and pear shaped bodies)


Having just one of these conditions doesn't necessarily mean you have metabolic syndrome but it could create a greater risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.


Dr. Hansen talks about how common it is and some of the ways you can address it by making small, sustainable lifestyle changes.


Listen in and be encouraged!
