MEN'S HEALTH
From metabolic dysfunction to heart disease is a real concern for most men. Heart Disease is the leading cause of death and preventable deaths in America. It was for Sean at the early age of 29. Sean was an athlete growing up. He worked out consistently from the age of 10 to the age of 22. Sean stopped focusing on his health to focus on his career as a new BBQ Restaurant owner, and Sean and his significant other were expecting their first child. In just a short 7 years, Sean put on almost 70 pounds of body fat, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, was pre-diabetic, and had a severe anxiety/stress disorder, with a high amount of visceral fat buildup. Sean was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and potential heart disease. Sean’s Dr actually feared he may suffer a heart attack at any time and could not believe he had not already had one.
Sean’s Dr offered several medications, from Blood Pressure Meds, Cholesterol Meds, Blood Thinners, and Anxiety Medications. Sean looked at his Dr and said, “Dr. Hughes, I am 29; there has got to be another way.” That is when he left his Doctors office and set out to find an alternative path to correcting his metabolic syndrome. In 6-months, Sean reversed all of his symptoms and did not need any medications. From that moment on, Sean made it his life’s passion to educate and help others how to do the same. This was the moment when the 3-NFH Method was created.
The 3-NFH Method: Proper nutrition is crucial for men because it is the ‘KING’ of results. Controlling insulin is the key to success. Eliminating or drastically reducing processed carbohydrates and sugar is a must to reduce or reverse metabolic health symptoms. When working with Sean, he will explain in great detail of why and how this affects your health and is the main cause of most of your health and metabolic problems. Resistance exercise has been proven to produce immediate hormonal effects, and creating lean body mass will get you the best results that will reverse your metabolic aging. The key is to never stop lifting. It must be a lifestyle adaptation that you do for the long-term benefits. The last and extremely important key component to optimizing your health, reducing metabolic disease, and aging well is hormone optimization. Hormones are essential for men to live a healthy and youthful life and to feel and look their best as they grow older. Most men don’t pay much attention to their health. They see no reason to be concerned unless their doctor instructs them to regulate their blood pressure, control their cholesterol, or drop a few pounds.Although improving these chronic diseases are reversible, it is best to try to prevent them at all possible.
Metabolic Syndrome
It is a collection of abnormalities that, once combined, increase your risk for coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other severe health issues. Insulin resistance syndrome is another name for metabolic syndrome. We tend to become less active as we age and may gain weight. This weight is typically stored around the abdomen and internally around our organs. The fat that is stored around our organs is called visceral fat, and I nicknamed it the ‘silent killer.
Visceral fat is the type of fat that surrounds your organs. It’s different from subcutaneous fat, which is the type of fat that sits under your skin. Visceral fat is more dangerous because it’s associated with many health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
If you’re carrying too much visceral fat, it’s important to make some lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet by reducing processed sugars and eating more protein and fiber can help. Getting regular exercise and getting regular exercise and utilizing HIIT can help you reduce your visceral fat.
Visceral fat is known as the silent killer because often, there are no symptoms until it’s too late. Insulin and overconsumption of calories lead to an increase in the size of fat cells. The overworked liver then converts triglycerides into free fatty acids that deposit in visceral areas. This excess visceral fat surrounds and infiltrates organs like the pancreas, lungs, heart, and liver causing inflammation and insulin resistance, high blood pressure, cholesterol build-up, and fatty liver disease.
Sean’s training methodology and nutritional recommendations help target this fat and allow the body to reduce the accumulation and burn the dangerous fat away from the organs. Sean had a substantial amount of visceral fat when he was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Learning how to stop this and reduce the visceral fat away from the organs is key to your metabolic health.
Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome can be diagnosed when a person exhibits three or more of the following symptoms:
- Obesity in the central abdomen refers to excess fat in and around the stomach.
- Higher blood pressure (hypertension)
- Low levels of HDL – the good cholesterol
- High amount of triglycerides
- Pre Diabetes, Diabetes, or impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
Metabolic Dysfunction
This is a metabolic disease when abnormal chemical processes disturb the body’s metabolism. This may impact how successfully the body breaks down large molecules for energy, how efficiently cells produce energy, or cause issues with energy regulation, and disrupts your hormones, making it hard to lose weight, feel energetic, and improve your overall health.
Our 10-Day Metabolic Detox is tailored to men’s individual needs to help them kickstart their metabolic system and begin removing toxins more effectively, reduce visceral fat, and start improving cellular function, so you can see results quickly.
This, in turn, reduces inflammation and allows men to start making the essential modifications to help their body function better on their own. Detoxing at least once a year is vital, and our tried-and-true technique can get you started on the right track. This is a crucial component to Sean’s 3-NFH Method. Contact us today to get started!
