Metabolic Health
Enhance your vitality with the best metabolic health specialists.
Your metabolic health influences how your body functions each day. It encompasses processes that convert food into energy, manage blood sugar levels, and regulate body weight and fat distribution. When your metabolism is balanced, you experience better energy levels, enhanced mental clarity, and improved overall health.
An imbalanced metabolism, however, can lead to many health issues, including insulin resistance, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, excess body fat, and increased risk of metabolic diseases. These imbalances can result in conditions such as cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome.
At National Wellness Group, our Metabolic Health Specialists understand the complexities of metabolic health and are dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy metabolism. We use strategies specific to your needs to improve your metabolic health, focusing on nutrition, physical activity, and natural therapies.

How Long Does It Take To Improve My Metabolic Health?
Improving metabolic health varies for each individual, typically taking several weeks to months. Initial improvements in energy levels, blood sugar control, and weight management can be seen within a few weeks with consistent lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and stress management. More significant changes, such as reducing body fat and lowering blood pressure, might 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 conditions, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels, that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic diseases. Addressing these risk factors can help improve your metabolism.
How does insulin resistance impact metabolic health?
Insulin resistance occurs when your cells don’t respond effectively to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. This condition is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Improving insulin sensitivity through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes is important for good metabolic health.
Can you be metabolically healthy even if you have obesity?
Yes, some individuals with obesity can be metabolically healthy, meaning they do not have the typical risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol levels. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent becoming metabolically unhealthy.
What steps can I take to lose weight and improve my metabolic health?
To lose weight and improve metabolic health, adopt a balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and get enough sleep. However, incorporating these changes into your daily life can be very challenging, which is why a Metabolic Health Specialist can be extremely beneficial.
