Metabolic issues refer to problems with the body's metabolism, which is the process of converting food into energy. Some common metabolic issues include:

​

• Diabetes: This is a condition in which the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1, which is an autoimmune disorder, and type 2, which is associated with lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.

• Hypothyroidism: This is a condition in which the thyroid gland, a small gland in the neck that produces hormones, does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and feeling cold.

• Hyperthyroidism: This is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can include weight loss, increased appetite, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty sleeping.

• Metabolic syndrome: This is a group of risk factors that increase the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels.

• Gout: This is a form of arthritis that is caused by an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. It typically affects the big toe, but can also affect the ankles, knees, wrists, and other joints. Symptoms of gout can include sudden, severe joint pain, redness and swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint.

• Osteoporosis: This is a condition in which the bones become weak and fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is more common in women and older adults and can cause bones to break more easily.

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This is a hormonal disorder that affects women and can cause irregular periods, excess hair growth, and fertility problems. It is also associated with an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Common metabolic disorders are Obesity, which is a medical condition where the excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative impact on health. It is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.

Obesity can increase the risk of a number of serious health problems, including:

• Type 2 diabetes

• Heart disease

• High blood pressure

• Stroke

• Sleep apnea

• Certain types of cancer (such as breast, colon, and endometrial cancer)

Obesity is often caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. It can be treated through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, as well as medications and, in some cases, surgery.
