For decades, symptoms have ruled in the efforts behind health care. It's almost as if we've created symptoms to be a disease in and of themselves instead of what they actually are... communicators of how the body is doing. Unfortunately, when the focus is not on trying to understand what the symptom is telling us, all efforts become only to STOP the symptom. Well over the 18 years in practice, Amanda has compiled the top one hundred or so common metabolic symptoms people experience, what they could be telling you, And even her own protocols that she personally uses in clinical practice.

Why focus on metabolic symptoms?
Caring about your metabolic health is essential because it impacts nearly every aspect of your overall well-being. Here’s why it matters:
1. Energy and Vitality
Metabolic health determines how efficiently your body converts food into energy. Poor metabolic health can leave you feeling tired, sluggish, and unmotivated.
2. Weight Management
Balanced metabolism helps you maintain a healthy weight and reduces the risk of obesity-related complications like diabetes and joint issues.
3. Disease Prevention
Good metabolic health lowers the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers.
4. Mental Clarity and Mood
Stable blood sugar levels—key to metabolic health—help improve focus, memory, and mood, while reducing anxiety and irritability.
5. Hormonal Balance
A healthy metabolism ensures your hormones are regulated, supporting everything from sleep and stress management to reproductive health.
6. Longevity
Metabolic health is directly linked to longer life expectancy and better quality of life as you age.
7. Resilience Against Inflammation
Poor metabolic health leads to chronic inflammation, which can worsen joint pain, autoimmune issues, and fatigue.
8. It’s Foundational
Metabolic health affects every system in your body—heart, brain, muscles, immune system, and more. It’s the engine that keeps your body running efficiently.
Caring for your metabolic health isn’t just about avoiding illness—it’s about living life with energy, clarity, and balance. It’s an investment in the quality of your life today and in the future.  Who knows, it could even provide insight to health challenges you've carried for years, weight you haven't lost, or how to balance those imbalanced hormones.
