Metabolic Syndrome
So I have metabolic syndrome, which is a bad *kitten* disease for fat people that leads to heart disease (check, already have it), diabetes (not there but pre-diabetic) and stroke among other things. After a heart attack at 39, I have been on blood pressure meds (lisinopril and metoprolol), aspirin 81 mg, fish oil, garlic…
