About Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic Syndrome is a serious medical condition associated with heart disease and type II diabetes. At its simplest, Metabolic Syndrome is insulin resistance, high blood pressures, elevated blood lipids, and an expanded waistline.

The Approach of DRNC
We take your medical history, perform a physical exam, obtain laboratory analyses, and discuss current concerns to rule out problems that can be confused with Metabolic Syndrome. Once we are confident of the diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome, a treatment plan is developed and goals are set.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help people diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome, people who suspect they might have it, and people who are just curious about this condition.
DR Naturopathic was founded with the mission of helping people discover their body’s own remarkable capacity for healing. Discover how!
“All I can say is your love and support to my daughter and me means so very much. We have always had
family around us through tough times, and you are filling some of those spots. Thank you so, so much.”
