Exercise Medicine for Metabolic Disease & Weight Management.
Metabolic diseases include Type-2 Diabetes, Obesity, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels and abdominal obesity.
Metabolic diseases interrupt the body's ability to convert food into energy at a cellular level causing health problems.
Exercise can help by:
✚ improving insulin sensitivity
✚ helping regulate blood sugar levels
✚ reducing visceral fat
✚ lowering blood pressure
✚ promoting overall cardiovascular health
✚ reducing stress and anxiety
✚ improving sleep.
Lose Fat not Muscle:
Increasingly, GLP-1 receptor agonists (eg medications such as Ozempic and Weygovy) are being prescribed for diabetes and weight-loss management. However there is a growing concern about their unintended consequence - significant loss of muscle mass.
Muscle mass plays a critical role in metabolic health, insulin sensitivity and psychological wellbeing.
Any weight loss strategy involving GLP-1 medications should be paired with a targeted exercise medicine prescription that emphasises resistance training, functional movement, and adequate protein intake.
