Heart disease, cancer, and dementia are all built on metabolic disease. Each one is amplified by metabolic dysregulation.
Metabolic dysfunction is a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Atherosclerosis occurs when plaques are deposited in our arteries. These plaques represent assaults on our circulatory system that the body repairs, eventually leading to calcification. Eventually, arteries can degrade to the point where we suffer heart attacks or strokes. Metabolic disorder is an accelerant that promotes such miseries.
