Welcome to the Metabolic Syndrome Community

If you don't have it, there's a good chance someone close to you does...One out of 3 adults in the U.S. have metabolic syndrome. What is metabolic syndrome? It's a cluster of 3 or more of the following recognized markers: 1) high blood pressure, 2) high blood sugar, 3) high triglycerides, 4) low 'good' cholesterol, and 5) excess belly flab. Frustratingly, most of these signs are almost impossible to detect without testing. But just like there are ways to get rid of excess belly flab, you can help reverse the other risk factors, too. Join this community and put together a team for success that includes a good doctor, diet, exercise, and stress management.
