People that are overweight, hyperinsulinemic and have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome are at a greater risk for developing many types of cancer. Prevent the advancement to cancer with the Ideal Protein protocol administered by Dr. Neetu K. Sodhi and our health coach at Bloom Obstetrics and Gynecology. We serve clients in Tarzana, CA, San Fernando Valley, and greater Los Angeles area.
Ideal Protein and Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of risk factors that eventually lead to cardiovascular disease, stroke (increased risk for clotting), and diabetes.
Risk factors include:
- Insulin Resistance
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Abnormal Cholesterol
- High Triglycerides
- Excess Fat around the midsection
Studies show that a ketogenic diet may reverse metabolic syndrome.
Oncologists seem to agree that being overweight and hyperinsulinemic/insulin resistant are major risk factors for multiple types of cancer. They have also pointed out that cancer cells are glucose dependent and can’t use ketone bodies as a fuel source. Plus insulin is a very anabolic hormone (a growth factor). So for all these reasons they like the Ideal Protein approach to weight loss.
In the meantime we still suggest women with a history cancer, get approval from their oncologist, or an OB/GYN, if they are not seeing the oncologist any longer. Schedule a consult with our nutritionist to learn more about the Ideal Protein protocol and how it can be integrated into your long, healthy life.
