Metabolic syndrome significantly contributes to chronic illnesses, affecting nearly one in three Americans. While overeating sugar is a major factor in metabolic problems and insulin resistance, other stressors such as traumas, toxins, and negative thoughts also play a role. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of many cardiometabolic health problems, such as heart attacks, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It’s also linked to estrogen dominance and associated conditions, like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, and endometriosis. Metabolic syndrome also tends to precede diseases of low immune function, like cancer.
The primary dietary change for addressing metabolic syndrome & cancer is reducing sugar and overall carbohydrate intake, avoiding food allergies, and following a personalized nutrition program. Excessive sugar intake can increase cancer risk by impacting the body's natural defense mechanisms, such as natural killer (NK) cells, which defend against cancer. Fostering a healthier environment that promotes healthy cells over cancer cells involves avoiding dietary sugar.
At The Wellness Way, we conduct thorough testing to identify the unique factors contributing to poor blood sugar regulation. Tests may include:
- No Sugar Panel
- Food Allergy Test
- Gut Health Test.
The Wellness Way approach to metabolic health and cancer involves considering the intricate connections between traumas, toxins, and thoughts. We emphasize the importance of personalized nutrition, chiropractic adjustments, stress management, physical activity, and adequate sleep to support metabolic function and reduce cancer risk. When normal physiology is restored rather than manipulated with drugs or surgery, the body will be able to heal. The body is designed to heal!
