What causes insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome?

Factors that have been shown to cause or contribute to metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance include:

Poor diet
Being overweight
Lack of exercise/physical activity
Sleep apnea
Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, peri-menopause, menopause and andropause (male menopause)
Some medicine including steroids and antidepressants
Some medical conditions such as Cushing’s and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

When will I receive my test results?

Generally, you’ll receive your test results – which include a full, detailed report – within two weeks.

DHEA

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is primarily produced in your adrenal glands alongside cortisol, but it’s also produced in the brain and the gonads (Ovaries, testes). DHEA is the precursor to testosterone and even estrogen. Stress and aging are the two main reasons DHEA declines. Low DHEA can lead to low sex drive, muscle and joint pain, reduced bone density, depression and weight gain.

Sometimes, women can suffer from high DHEA called masculinization such as deep voice, facial hair or male-patterned baldness. In men, it can also lead to feminine traits, such as increased breast tissue and testicular wasting. Other possible symptoms include fatigue, sweating, and acne.

Will I have to change my lifestyle and/or diet?

Most likely yes, although in some cases it might just be temporary to rebalance your digestive health.
