Metabolic Imbalance

Meaning

Metabolic Imbalance describes a state of physiological dysregulation where the body’s fundamental processes of energy production, utilization, and storage are disrupted, often involving key hormonal axes. This clinical condition encompasses a spectrum of dysfunctions, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, chronic inflammation, and altered glucose homeostasis. A persistent imbalance significantly increases the risk for serious chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Identifying and correcting the underlying hormonal and cellular perturbations is the core of effective clinical management.
