What is Metabolic Disease?

Metabolic disease, or metabolic syndrome, is like a collection of warning signs that increase your risk for serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, and dementia. These warning signs include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, being overweight, and having high cholesterol. High blood pressure can quietly damage your arteries, while high blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes. Carrying extra weight around your belly is another warning sign, as it’s linked to inflammation and hormone issues. High cholesterol and triglycerides are necessary in the right amounts but can be harmful when they’re too high. Having just one of these issues is concerning, but having several greatly increases your health risks.

How Can We Help?

Metabolic syndrome is a big deal because it increases your risk for a host of serious health problems, like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, inflammation, fatty liver disease, and PCOS in women. This makes it essential to catch and address these issues early to prevent more serious health problems down the road.

Our Approach

At Vitality, we don’t wait for problems to reach a crisis point. We screen for metabolic syndrome early and take action to stop it from getting worse. Unlike conventional medicine that often waits until things are really bad, we step in early with personalized plans to reverse the dysfunction. With the right lifestyle changes and early intervention, we believe metabolic issues can be fully resolved.

Consider This!

Metabolic syndrome is often called “the silent killer” because its components—like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol—often don’t show any symptoms. This means you could be at risk without even knowing it. Regular health screenings and proactive management are crucial to catching these issues before they escalate.

Heather Thornton

Health & Life Coach
From an early age, I've had a passion to serve people and a deep sensitivity for the human spirit. Along the way, life also threw a number of health and auto-immune challenges my way early on, so I became personally shaped by the complexity of how our mind, body and spirit all function together. I'm deeply empathetic of how those challenges can become discouragements and places we get stuck in life, and I'm equally passionate about how beautiful the freedom we find can be, even and maybe especially when life isn't so perfect.

My experiences for the last 30 years in both helping and healthcare roles have naturally converged, taking that wisdom, heart and hope and now devoting the second half of my life wholeheartedly to people who are on their own journey of finding balance and fulfilment. My goal is to compassionately and fervently help you reach your goals!

I am currently completing my accreditation through the International Coaching Federation, and if you are a patient of Vitality, you'll get the added benefit of our work together including a health plan and goals designed and refined at every visit with your personal physician. It's absolutely within reach to experience meaningful change, so let's get started!

Dr. Amrit Dockery is incredibly knowledgeable in her field, especially in regards to health and wellness. She took the time and care to walk me through my results, as well as giving me a practical game plan on how I could work towards my health goals. She cares about true healing and getting to the root of the issue, not just putting a band aid on things. I have been incredibly blessed by her care.
