What are some metabolic disorders?
The most commonly recognized metabolic disorder is diabetes, of which there are two types. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce adequate insulin. Type 2 diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly utilize the insulin that is produced.
In addition to diagnosed metabolic disorders, the lack of adequate macronutrients and micronutrients can cause less serious but no less impactful symptoms. With customized diagnostics and treatment, your health and vitality can be improved.
