When we think of metabolic health, the first thing that comes to mind is weight loss. However, metabolic health is much more than that. It’s about how our bodies produce and use energy from the carbohydrates and fats we eat. For both women and their teenage daughters, balancing metabolic health can mean the difference between thriving and facing chronic issues like hormonal imbalances, high blood pressure, and persistent stress. Acupuncture offers a natural, holistic approach to support your body’s ability to regain balance and energy.
What Is Metabolic Health?
More Than Weight Loss
Metabolic health refers to how your body produces and uses energy. It involves:
Efficient conversion of carbs and fats into energy
Stable blood sugar levels
Healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Balanced blood pressure
Key Hormones That Impact Metabolic Health
Your metabolic health is influenced by hormones, such as:
Insulin: Controls blood sugar and fat storage
Cortisol: Stress hormone that can disrupt metabolism
Thyroid Hormones: Regulate metabolism and energy levels
Leptin: Governs appetite and fat storage
Adiponectin: Helps regulate glucose and the breakdown of fatty acids
The Consequences of Metabolic Dysfunction
Symptoms Women and Teens Face
When your metabolic health is out of balance, you may experience:
Blood sugar imbalances (Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes)
Menstrual problems and infertility (PCOS)
Elevated blood pressure (Hypertension)
High triglycerides (Hyperlipidemia)
Worsened thyroid function
Increased stress and anxiety due to high cortisol levels
Metabolic dysfunction doesn’t just lead to weight gain; it can affect nearly every aspect of your physical and emotional well-being.
