Metabolic Syndrome

Also known as: metabolic syndrome · affluence syndrome · deadly quartet · Syndrome X · insulin resistance syndrome · metabolic disorder · overweight with blood sugar · abdominal fat · and high blood pressure
Your Body Is Speaking
The lab values are off. Blood pressure is too high, blood sugar is going haywire, blood lipids are out of range, and around your midsection something has accumulated that feels as though it doesn't really belong to you. Medicine calls it Metabolic Syndrome — a combination of disturbed metabolism, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and visceral adipose tissue. No single dramatic symptom, but a creeping interplay that throws the entire organism out of balance.
But the question BodySignal asks reaches deeper than lab values and waist circumference: Why is your body in a state where it stores, holds, and backs everything up — as if it has forgotten how to flow? What is happening in your inner life that your entire metabolism has ground to a halt?
