Big Belly? High Body Mass Index? High Blood Pressure? If this sounds like you, you may be one of the millions of North Americans with Metabolic Syndrome. Predicted by medical experts as the likely number one risk factor for heart disease, Metabolic Syndrome, or MSX, describes a constellation of conditions, including those mentioned above, of which the bodys resistance to insulin is a primary feature. A byproduct of obesity, 25 percent of the adult U.S. population is now estimated to have MSX. The Metabolic Syndrome Program offers readers a sensible lifestyle-based approach to treating MSX. One of the first books to name and address this condition, The Metabolic Syndrome Program outlines a realistic plan of treatmentwithout magic pills or quick-fixes to a growing and little-known threat to public health.

The Metabolic Syndrome Program includes:

  • Facts about MSX, the risk factors associated with it and its impact on your overall health
  • The role of nutrition in combating MSX
  • The truth about fats, carbs and proteins and the balance needed to maintain optimal health
  • All the latest research on insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension and Cardiovascular diseasethe worst outcomes of metabolic syndrome
  • Detailed information on natural supplements that can be used to combat the risk factors of MSX
  • Recipes and meal plans that will help you make the immediate lifestyle changes required if you are one of the millions at risk for MSX

    • Karlene Karst has done an excellent job outlining the seriousness of obesity and insulin resistance, and their ensuing complications,while providing a nutrition and lifestyle action plan to help you get back to the basics of good health. Sam Graci, author of The Path to Phenomenal Health and The Food Connection

    The Metabolic Syndrome Program provides an effective comprehensive solution by detailing a clear, rational approach to a complex topic. Michael T. Murray, N.D., co-author of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine

    The Daisy Explained
    Metabolic Syndrome: A Weighty Issue
    Alex Mariner, 48, has known for years that he needs to lose weight and figured he was in for another lecture when he went to see his doctor for his annual checkup. He wasnt expecting to hear that he had some strangesounding syndrome. Alex has always been worried about developing type 2 diabetes because it runs in the family, but he never expected the doctor would tell him that he had metabolic syndrome.
    Metabolic what? Alex has joined the growing number of people who have metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes, a diagnosis that is becoming increasingly common, primarily because of the obesity epidemic.
    An estimated 25% of the U.S. population is said to have metabolic syndromea mere 70 million adults age 20 and olderand the rate approaches 50% among the elderly. Mexican Americans and African-American women appear to be especially prone. Yet I would bet that most of you reading this book have never even heard about it. Why is this? There is no logical explanation for the lack of public education on the pernicious health effects of metabolic syndrome, formerly known as Syndrome X. However, it takes a while for new concepts, such as Syndrome X, first described by endocrinologist Dr. Gerald Reaven in 1988, to become mainstream among the modern medical community. Early responses from the medical community to Dr. Reavens definition were not overly positive, there are still skeptics, and experts who disagree about how dangerous it is and how intensively it should be treated. But many experts feel the metabolic syndrome approach is very useful. It has crystallized thinking about how fat causes illness, motivating people to lose weight and exercise, and prompting doctors to identify and treat people sooner.
    Dr. Reaven paved the way for further research. The underlying root cause of metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance, which leads to increased cardiovascular disease and precedes type 2 diabetes. Dr. Reaven proposed that there is a metabolic defect that causes the cells resistance to insulin. The metabolic defect is caused by a combination of heredity and lifestyle factors. In other words, insulin is present, but it does not do its job properly. This resistance to insulin sets the stage for obesity, high blood cholesterol, and hypertension.

    The time has come to take action Doctors around the globe are paying attention - photo 3
    The time has come to take action. Doctors around the globe are paying attention to metabolic syndrome, which has emerged as the primary culprit of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Soon, metabolic syndrome will overtake cigarette smoking as the number-one risk factor for heart disease among the U.S. population. With rates of diabetes expected to reach the three hundred million mark in the next two decades, and with cardiovascular disease still ranking as the number one killer in North America, metabolic syndrome has gone from being relatively unheard of to a worldwide emergency.
    METABOLIC SYNDROME: THE CONCEPT
    A syndrome is a collection of symptoms that make someone prone to disease. Dr. Reavens defi nition of Syndrome X focused on the cluster of symptoms, in which he included insulin resistance and glucose intolerance (poor blood sugar control), obesity (although not strongly emphasized), blood-fat abnormalities (high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides), and high blood pressure. He described syndrome X as a condition triggered by an inability to respond properly to insulin, which controls blood sugar levels. He realized that instead of regarding each of the risk factors for diabetes and heart disease as separate entities, they should be viewed as connected to one another.
    Clustering the components of metabolic syndrome has advantages over analyzing each of the components individually. Each factor by itself may not be highly dangerous, but together they appear to sharply boost the danger of major health problems, notably heart disease and diabetes. The risk for having coronary heart disease (CHD) is significantly greater in cases with the metabolic syndrome compared to the risk associated with each component alone. This is true in those people who have impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetic) and in patients with type 2 diabetes. Compared with non-insulin-resistant people, those with higher levels of insulin have twice as much chance of developing hypertension, three times as much chance of developing the abnormal cholesterol patterns, and fi ve times greater chance of developing diabetes. All these are risk factors for CHD, doubling your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, with heart attack being the ultimate result if the risk factors are left untreated.
    PREDIABETES AND TYPE 2 DIABETES: WHEN ONE BECOMES THE OTHER
    You may have heard the term prediabetes, which is an important concept to understand when discussing metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Prediabetes, which used to be called impaired fasting glucose, is a precursor or intermediate stage in the natural development of diabetes. If you have blood glucose levels higher than what is considered normal but below what is considered the level for a diagnosis of diabetes, you have prediabetes. It is like the warning light in your car that comes on telling you how many miles you have to go before you run out of gas. It means that something needs to be done (you have to get gas) or you will be in trouble. Prediabetes is the same thing. It signals danger that could potentially lead to type 2 diabetes unless treated.
