Maine Metabolism is for the 40% of people that are likely to become type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant if they keep going the way they are going.
In Adulthood, expect to see conditions such as:
- High blood pressure Rising triglycerides and lowering HDL cholesterol Weight gain on the torso Migraines Rising uric acid with possible gout Fatty liver causing high liver enzymes Skin and mucosal yeast infections
- And of course high blood sugars
Problems with metabolism can first show up in kids with functional conditions such as:
- Tourette'sADHD Depression & Anxiety
- Developmental problems
Note that all these conditions come BEFORE high blood sugars and the diagnosis of prediabetes or metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. The earlier caught the better, obviously. Pat yourself on the back for getting here and welcome to your health.
Thyroid conditions often coexist with prediabetes and both need to be addressed simultaneously. Hypothyroid, especially the immune-related Hashimoto's, is best treated on an individual basis with coordination of diet, fitness and medical treatment.Maine Metabolism is for you if you have a parent, grandparent or direct family member who has had type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure or weight gain/obesity or heart attack/stroke in a non-smoker. Mark Your Metabolism Based upon your family history or past history, you may already have a good idea that you are in the right place. Between blood tests and skinfold caliper measurements, you can individualize whether you need a little metabolic help, a little more metabolic help or a lot of metabolic help.Please email Dr Richard Maurer for more information at info@coastalnaturalhealth.com.
