In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we break down metabolic syndrome—a cluster of five risk factors that, when three or more occur together, dramatically increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
You’ll learn how insulin resistance, abdominal fat, and chronic inflammation form a dangerous cycle that affects millions—often without obvious symptoms. We discuss the early warning signs, potential long-term consequences, and why prevention and early detection are crucial.
We also highlight the most effective strategies to reverse or manage metabolic syndrome, from lifestyle interventions like whole foods and stress reduction to medications and lab testing options that track your progress.
