11 Signs You Could Have A Metabolic Imbalance, From A Functional Medicine Expert

As a functional medicine practitioner, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact metabolism has on our health, both for better and for worse. Metabolic health is often misconstrued as the ability to maintain a healthy weight. In reality, it is a symphony of processes that dictate how our bodies utilize energy, regulate hormones, manage blood pressure, and more.

Currently, around 30% of adults in America are overweight, and another 42% are considered obese. The multibillion-dollar weight loss and diet industry isn't working, hence why many people lately have turned to Ozempic and other weight loss medications (that come with their own set of side effects) after years of yo-yo diets.

When it comes to weight loss, conventional wisdom tells us that it's all about "calories in vs. calories out." That is, if you take in fewer calories than you burn, you will win the weight loss war. However, as you may already have experienced in your own life, this couldn't be further from the truth.

There are seemingly endless factors that affect your ability to lose weight that aren't addressed by counting calories or making "quick fixes." Underlying metabolic health problems, hormone imbalances, gut problems, thyroid dysfunctions, toxicity, issues, and more can prevent even the most dedicated person from ever losing weight.

Many individuals come to me seeking answers, feeling that something isn't quite right within their bodies. They experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or digestive issues that conventional medicine fails to adequately address. What they might not realize is that these signs could be indicative of a metabolic imbalance, more commonly known as "metabolic inflexibility1."

Conditions such as diabetes, PCOS, insulin resistance, and other metabolic disorders could also point to an underlying metabolic imbalance.
