Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is not a single disease but a cluster of metabolic problems appearing together. It is diagnosed when you meet three or more of these five: abdominal obesity measured by waist circumference, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. It usually has no symptoms and is found by chance during a checkup, but left alone it clearly raises the risk of progressing to diabetes and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. That is why lowering both belly fat and your numbers together is the key to management.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

At Dongjedang, we view metabolic syndrome as "a state where surplus the body could not process has piled up, and the metabolic power to burn and clear it has weakened." We see accumulated burdens like phlegm and stagnant blood blocking circulation and pushing up both belly fat and your numbers together. So we aim to improve weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipids in one flow through detox that empties what has piled up and care that revives metabolism.
