Dear Patients
and Friends,
Over 60% of those who come to us for weight management have Metabolic
Syndrome, a condition that greatly raises the risk of heart attack and
stroke. This syndrome is characterized by fat that tends to settle around
the waist, high blood pressure, problems with cholesterol and triglycerides
and elevated blood sugar. You may have Metabolic Syndrome even if you don't
yet manifest all of these problems. Understanding why these conditions
group together is crucial for those who seek to lose and maintain weight.
Weight Management Partners produced this DVD to give you a way to learn
about Metabolic Syndrome at your own pace. We hope to expand the length of
this presentation eventually and make it available for use in primary care
offices. The DVD features registered dietician Darlene Paluf, patients of
our practice, and myself.
If you have additional questions after watching,
please feel free to email us at info@wmp.com
Wishing
you the best of health,
Barbara
Berkeley MD.
