Pre-diabetes: The number of children and adolescents diagnosed with prediabetes is rising each year. This condition significantly increases their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Early intervention is key to protecting their long-term health.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is a hormonal imbalance caused by elevated levels of androgens (male-type hormones), which can disrupt ovarian function. Weight gain and insulin resistance can further exacerbate symptoms, making early intervention and lifestyle management essential for improving overall health.

Metabolic Syndrome: Metabolic syndrome, also known as insulin resistance syndrome, is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of serious health issues. It may include high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, obesity, high triglycerides, increased LDL ("bad" cholesterol), and low HDL ("good" cholesterol). Addressing the root cause—insulin resistance—through lifestyle changes can help prevent long-term complications and improve overall health.

Type 2 Diabetes: The number of children and teens diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes is rising every year. While the severity of the condition varies, therapeutic lifestyle changes can help reduce medication needs and lower insulin requirements. In some cases, intensive lifestyle interventions can even reverse Type 2 diabetes, empowering children to take control of their long-term health.

Acquired High Cholesterol: Elevated cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides can significantly increase the risk of heart disease. The good news is that targeted lifestyle changes can be highly effective in managing and improving cholesterol levels, promoting long-term heart health.
