Metabolic Syndrome... Ever heard of it? A report issued in 2011 showed that 35% of the US population has it and nearly 50% of people over 60 have it. So what is it?
My opinion- Metabolic Syndrome is one of those fancy medical terms that they give to a condition that they know is under the control of the patient to correct but the pharma industry wants to create a medical term so it can develop a treatment in the form of medical prescriptions instead of telling us we are living in a way that will result in an early death.
Metabolic Syndrome is not a disease. It is a combination of multiple factors created by poor lifestyle decisions over a period of time. All the factors associated with metabolic syndrome will, in all but a few cases, lower your natural testosterone levels.
Metabolic Syndrome Factors
- Increase in blood pressure
- Insulin resistance
- High blood sugar
- Excess body fat
- Elevated triglycerides
- Low HDL
- High LDL
There is a common theme in all of the above factors.... Each are a result of poor lifestyle choices and in many cases are the cause of low testosterone levels.
I don't know about you but I don't like being a statistic and definitely don't need someone who does not have my best interest in mind prescribing me a pill to correct something that is completely correctable through my own actions.
The exact same scenario can be applied to adult onset diabetes (type 2).
