                                            Excited to be speaking at SOHO Healthfest in April about natural medicines to help with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome now affects more than 1 in 3 American adults, with numbers continuing to rise. What is the big deal with metabolic syndrome? It dramatically increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. 
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions (need 3 of 5 for diagnosis):
· High blood pressure
· Low HDL "good" cholesterol
· High triglycerides
· Visceral obesity
· Insulin resistance
