Metabolic
Syndrome can damage the cardiovascular system via Insulin
Resistance-related obesity and hypertension (high blood
pressure) brought on by stress. Over-eating may cause decreased
insulin sensitivity and is often associated with aspects of a
stressful lifestyle like work pressures.
Eating to excess is often a comfort for some people during times
of stress. But the end result can be obesity leading to
Metabolic Syndrome, a disorder that substantially increases the
chances of damaging the cardiovascular system, which may lead to
a heart attack or stroke.
Symptoms include excess abdominal fat, high LDL ("bad") blood
cholesterol levels, low HDL ("good") cholesterol levels, high
levels of triglycerides and high blood pressure. Metabolic
Syndrome can also lead to liver and kidney disease. While the
underlying cause of Metabolic Syndrome is very often Insulin
Resistance, the disorder is also influenced by such factors as
overeating, poor lifestyle choices and sedentary habits.
Reversing the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome can be crucial for
heart disease prevention.
As
glucose levels in the body rise, they stimulate increased
insulin production, which has a number of negative effects: it
raises noradrenalin levels which, in turn, can induce Insulin
Resistance; it promotes the synthesis of atherogenic lipids
(cholesterol); it is associated with kidney dysfunction and
hypertension; it favors atherosclerotic plaque formation; and it
stores fat.
"The impact of fat on insulin
resistance is even more pronounced during periods of stress,
which releases the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol.
Adrenaline in turn stimulates the hydrolysis of fat in fat
tissue, raising the amount of free fatty acids in circulation,
which eventually end up in the liver. On the other hand,
cortisol builds back the fat in fat tissue."
In people who are "stress-eaters", particularly women, the more
they eat high-fat, high-sugar, high-carbohydrate foods in
response to stress, the more fat they store and the more insulin
they secrete. This, in turn, elevates glucose levels, causing
even more fat to be stored, thus starting a vicious cycle that
contributes to the development of Metabolic Syndrome.
Interestingly,
noradrenalin (the hormone that increases in response to excess
levels of insulin in the body) is a stress-response chemical,
released under conditions of emotional upset. Further,
glucocorticoids (such as cortisol) are also stress-response
chemicals in some women and these hormones are also responsible
for increased storing of abdominal fat and raising blood glucose
levels. One study demonstrated that persons with elevated levels
of serum cortisol (caused by chronic stress) developed abdominal
obesity, Insulin Resistance and lipid abnormalities.
Clearly, management of stress factors is a critical component to
addressing the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome. But, just as
clearly, no single approach will effect all the components of
this syndrome.
What’s needed is a complete system, including nutraceuticals
(vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific), a
realistic exercise program combined with nutritional guidance
and a support network that will help you change unhealthy
lifestyle choices.

to read about the scientific breakthrough called The Insulite
MetaX System, which is designed to reverse
Insulin Resistance-linked
Metabolic Syndrome, often an underlying
cause of stress. The new system aims to
reverse Metabolic Syndrome with numerous formulations,
including MetaOmegaX, which features omega-3 fatty acids
that can help improve mood.
"I have been on the Insulite
System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver
functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I
was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the
AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in
years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has
changed my life.
I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program.
Your product is fantastic. I have
cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing
weight again after being
"stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4
lbs since
starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is
well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is
better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control
between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather
than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months
supply. Thank you!"

"Researchers agree that insulin
resistance is central to the metabolic syndrome. When target
cells are unresponsive to insulin, the pancreas responds by
pouring even more insulin into the bloodstream, leading to high
levels of the hormone in the blood, a condition called
compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The high level of insulin in the
blood forces glucose into cells but also starts the events
leading to arterial damage and eventually a heart attack. Under
these conditions, a person may not manifest either diabetes or
heart disease but could well be on the way to either or both."
"I wanted to let you know how much I
appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health.
It's hard to express in
words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily
provided for me.
I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I
can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank
you again!"

"Simply losing 5-7% of your body fat (typically 10-15 pounds) and increasing your physical activity by taking a brisk walk 4-5 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Type
II Diabetes by almost 60%."
"I started your product and found
it really boosts my system,
helping me get off ground zero, and stop the spiral downwards.
It gave me the
energy to start exercising and prepare healthy meals.
You are all very supportive, even though I am on the other side
of the world
(Australia). I am very glad that I am on your product, your
weekly messages
are also very encouraging, when I am finding things a bit
harder. Thank you for everything."
"A non-pharmacologic treatment for these
patients is needed, since drugs prescribed to lower blood
pressure have been shown to actually worsen carbohydrate and
lipid metabolism in Syndrome X patients, negating the beneficial
effects of those drugs."
"I cannot believe the difference
the Insulite System has made in how I feel. My appetite has
changed tremendously. I do not crave carbs and sugar and my
appetite is somewhat diminished."

"...approximately 90% of
overweight Hispanic children with a family history for type 2 diabetes have at least one
feature of the metabolic syndrome and 30% possess the metabolic syndrome.
Our results support the view that improving insulin resistance may be crucial in the prevention
of both type 2 diabetes and premature cardiovascular disease in this at-risk subpopulation
of Hispanic youth."
