Metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome increases your risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
If you have 1 or more of the following risk factors, you are at a elevated risk for these chronic diseases:
~ high blood pressure
~ high cholesterol
~ overweight
~ blood sugar imbalances
~ insulin resistance
~ high blood triglycerides
~ sedentary lifestyle
~ high stress lifestyle
Insulin resistance is a risk factor for PCOS and infertility.
Metabolic syndrome is mostly caused by diet and lifestyle factors and can be reversed with some nutritional changes, herbal medicine, stress reduction and exercise.
Working with your gut microbiome is key to making changes to your metabolism and blood glucose regulation.
I always prescribe herbal medicine as a short term measure to support healthy digestion, liver and pancreas function in people with metabolic syndrome.
The treatment can take several months. However, it is possible to reduce blood pressure, insulin resistance and cholesterol, so that medication is no longer needed.
Weight loss is also possible when we identify and treat the reasons for the weight gain.
A change for the better
Has your doctor mentioned that you are at risk for heart disease or diabetes? Has he/she recommended diet and lifestyle changes before going on medication?
This is the perfect window of opportunity to try a naturopathic approach to wellness and prevention.
I will work with you to uncover the root causes of your metabolic syndrome. Then I will guide you through gradual changes to support your metabolism and blood glucose management.
Change can be hard, but I'll be with you at every step and you will feel fabulous when you reach your goal.
Customer feedback:
"I enjoyed my sessions with Simone. I felt there was a connection straight away. Her down to earth yet empathetic manner put me at ease instantly.
Simone was enthusiastic with plenty of good ideas for me but she was also a good listener. When she sensed I wasn't interested or didn't feel things would work for me, she was flexible and understanding and changed track as needed.
I would highly recommend Simone to anyone for wellness coaching. I found the sessions interesting but also light hearted and enjoyed our chats.
It's refreshing to find someone who identifies with you and can also help set goals, come up with tools to help along the way and motivate you to achieve the outcomes."
