Age, poor eating habits and weight gain (the dreaded "middle age spread") combine to negatively impact our internal hormonal environment: insulin resistance increases and our growth hormone and testosterone levels go down. Additionally, stress increases levels of cortisol, "the stress hormone".

MD+ Metabolic optimizes the effects of thyroid hormone, decreases cortisol levels and increases levels of growth hormone and testosterone (in both men and women) along with increasing insulin sensitivity. These effects increase weight and fat loss while maintaining or even increasing muscle mass. As well, the hormonal environment created by Metabolic will allow cellulite, that stubborn dimpled fat, to be oxidized along with the rest of the body fat. Metabolic also counters the body's response to low calorie diets by decreasing appetite and increasing metabolic rate. As well, it increases the body's fat burning response and decreases muscle breakdown.
