65. Understanding Cardiometabolic Diseases

After taking the summer off to recharge and refocus, the Awaken Your Path To Wellness podcast is back!

In today’s podcast, Dr. Barb explores an important health topic: cardiometabolic diseases. This term encompasses a group of interconnected health conditions, primarily cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome itself includes various issues such as obesity, hypertension, and abnormal cholesterol levels. These conditions don’t just exist in isolation; they often overlap and contribute to a cycle of poor health that can significantly impact individuals' lives.
