Metabolic Syndrome Risk Reduction Program

Metabolic Syndrome consists of a cluster of metabolic disorders that seems to promote heart disease and diabetes. Studies have demonstrated that more than 30 percent of adults in the U.S. have Metabolic Syndrome. Research clearly shows a high likelihood of developing diabetes and/or heart disease if steps are not taken to reduce these risk factors.

While genetics is thought to play a significant role, lifestyle patterns cannot be ignored. Five common traits of Metabolic Syndrome are a relatively high level of stress, weight gain, poor dietary choices, and sedentary living habits.The use of medications, paired with lifestyle changes, may also be required for some people.


Greenville Hospital System Metabolic Risk Reduction Program offers a comprehensive approach to the treatment and education of patients with metabolic syndrome. The targeted 12-week program includes an initial individualized consultation, exercise and diet classes, counseling, and follow-up.
