Metabolic Syndrome Support Through Functional & Chinese Medicine

If your doctor has mentioned high blood pressure, rising blood sugar, cholesterol concerns, or stubborn weight gain—but hasn’t given you a clear path forward—you’re not alone. Metabolic syndrome is one of the most common (and under-addressed) patterns we see in our clinic. We take a whole-body approach that goes beyond numbers to help you rebalance your metabolism from the inside out.

This is for you if...

  • You’ve been told you have prediabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure
  • You’re carrying excess weight around your midsection
  • You’re tired of band-aid solutions and want real answers
  • You feel “off” even when your labs are still “normal”
  • You’ve tried medication or dieting but haven’t seen real changes
  • You’re ready for a root-cause strategy that looks at the full picture

Supporting Your Metabolic Health Starts at the Root

Metabolic syndrome isn’t one issue. It’s a collection of imbalances across your insulin response, inflammation, hormones, and stress systems. That’s why we don’t treat it with a one-size-fits-all approach. At Connected Healing, we start with comprehensive lab testing and symptom analysis to understand what your body is really asking for.

From there, we create a personalized care plan that may include nutrition and lifestyle shifts, targeted supplements, and nervous system support. For local clients in Milwaukee, acupuncture and integrative therapies like cupping or LED light therapy can also be part of your treatment plan to support inflammation and circulation.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or you’ve been navigating this for years, we help you move beyond the overwhelm and toward real, lasting change.

Conventional medicine isn’t designed to find the root cause.

do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
  • You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
  • Your physical/mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
  • Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
  • You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
  • You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again

...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on
generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.

That’s why at Connected Healing we do things differently

We bring together the best of functional medicine, Chinese medicine and holistic health to get a full-body picture of what’s happening at a foundational level so your body's naturable abilities are restored.

Functional medicine

gives us the science using labs, data, patterns, imbalances, and deeper insight into your hormones, nutrients, thyroid, gut health, and more.

Chinese medicine

brings the wisdom by addressing the energetic patterns, organ systems, cycle observations, and subtle signs your body’s been giving you all along.

Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.
