Metabolic Syndrome is a combination of risk factors that are associated with chronic health conditions and issues related to aging. Some of these include: 

Heart Disease 
Sleep Apnea
Type 2 Diabetes 
Kidney Damage
Dementia
Erectile Dysfunction
Liver Disease 
Obesity  
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome...the list goes on. 

The scary fact is that 1 in 3 adults meet the criteria for Metabolic Syndrome and problems in adolescents are rising very rapidly. Here are 5 markers that measure this condition. If you have 3 out of five, you are at high risk.

Elevated Waist Circumference
> 40 inches in Men
> 35 inches in Women

Elevated Triglycerides 
>150 mg or taking medication 

Reduced HDL
<40 mg in Men
<50 mg in Women 

Elevated Blood Pressure 
>130 systolic and >85 diastolic or taking medication 

Elevated Fasting Blood Sugar 
>100 or taking medication 

There is good news if you or someone you know happens to be at high risk. Being diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome can and should be used as a crossroads for intervention, before the diagnosis becomes something more serious and irreversible. 

If you meet the criteria for Metabolic Syndrome, have read this article, and are now ready to make changes in your life, contact me today for 10% off your entire coaching program.  

Know where you stand, take action immediately and always find an additional support system. I know it can be scary at first but so is a lifetime of chronic disease and suffering. 

It's time to join me in ending this epidemic.
