Your metabolism directly affects your daily functions, including energy production, blood sugar regulation, and weight control. When balanced, your metabolism boosts energy, enhances mental clarity, and supports overall health.
An imbalance, however, can lead to issues like insulin resistance, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and increased risk of metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease.

Improving metabolic health takes time and varies from individual to individual, usually taking several weeks to months. You may notice early improvements in energy, blood sugar control, and weight management within a few weeks by making consistent changes to your diet, exercise routine, and stress management. More significant improvements, like reducing body fat and lowering blood pressure, generally take a few months.
Dr. Marina was incredibly helpful at a time when other doctors and treatments had failed. She is truly knowledgeable and passionate in what she does and takes time to explain the process and steps necessary for recovery. It is very comforting to know that I will not feel rushed while under her care and have informed and educated answers to my questions. While speaking with someone who is so well versed in the many treatment options that are available it left me more assured than other health care professionals. I am sure that this added assurance and confidence in my care had a profound positive affect in my recovery and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Marina to any patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is metabolic syndrome, and how can it affect my health?
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of health issues, including high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, excess fat around the waist, and poor cholesterol levels. These factors increase your risk for serious health concerns, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Managing these factors can improve your metabolism and help reduce the risk of developing further complications.
How does insulin resistance impact metabolic health?
Insulin resistance occurs when the body’s cells don’t properly respond to insulin, which leads to elevated blood sugar levels. This condition is a key driver of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To improve insulin sensitivity, adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise routine, and lifestyle changes is crucial for metabolic health.
Can you be metabolically healthy even if you have obesity?
Yes, it is possible for some individuals with obesity to still be metabolically healthy, meaning they may not show the usual risk factors like high cholesterol or blood pressure. However, regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and other lifestyle changes are necessary to maintain metabolic health and prevent future complications.
What steps can I take to lose weight and improve my metabolic health?
To improve your metabolic health and lose weight, prioritize a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quality sleep. While these changes can be challenging, a Metabolic Health Specialist in Sarasota can offer valuable insights and support to help you reach your health goals.
