🧠 Metabolic Syndrome Is More Common Than You Think — And It’s Getting Worse for Some

A large U.S. study analyzing NHANES data from 2013–2023 found that nearly 4 in 10 adults now meet criteria for metabolic syndrome — a cluster of risk factors that significantly increases the risk for heart disease, diabetes, cognitive decline, and early mortality.

🔍 What stood out most:
• Adults 60+ years old saw a significant rise, with prevalence climbing to over 62%
• Non-Hispanic Black adults experienced a meaningful increase over the last decade
• Triglycerides — a key marker of metabolic dysfunction — rose notably after the pandemic
• Younger adults showed “stable” numbers, but stability does not mean optimal health

⚠️ Metabolic syndrome isn’t one problem — it’s a pattern:
✔️ Abdominal weight gain
✔️ Blood sugar dysregulation
✔️ Elevated blood pressure
✔️ Abnormal cholesterol or triglycerides

Individually, these may seem manageable.
Together, they signal deeper metabolic and neurological stress.

🧬 At Scire Integrative Health Center, we don’t just look at labs in isolation — we assess the root drivers: inflammation, nervous system regulation, metabolic signaling, stress load, and lifestyle disruption.

✨ Prevention, early intervention, and personalized care matter now more than ever — especially for aging adults and underserved populations.

📍 Your metabolism tells a story. We help you change the ending.

Chronic fatigue is exhausting.
Digestive issues are frustrating.
Strange reactions to foods or medications are confusing.

But when all of these show up together?
That’s not just an inconvenience — it’s a signal your body is asking to be understood.

For many, this pattern points to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) — a condition that often hides in plain sight, dismissed as “random” or “unrelated” symptoms.

If your body feels unpredictable, it’s not in your head.
It may be time to look at the whole picture, not just isolated symptoms.

🧠 Healing starts with connection, not dismissal.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s amazing ability to
reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life.
This adaptability allows us to recover from injuries, learn new skills, and improve cognitive functions.

Here are 3 functional neurology practices that promote neuroplasticity:

🤸‍♀️Targeted Physical Exercises
🪢Cognitive Training
🎮Brain Games
All of these practices are utilized in our personally customized home programs for patients. Discover how these practices can enhance your brain health.

🔍 “ADHD and dyslexia?” Not always.
Sometimes the diagnosis isn’t wrong… but the interpretation is.

In this clip from Episode 13 of the Everything Brain Podcast, Dr. Melillo and Dr. Scire break down one of the biggest issues they see in practice: misdiagnosis.

So often, children are labeled with multiple disorders when in reality, their challenges point to a single, overlooked functional issue—like a true learning disability that’s been missed for years.

In this case, a mother was certain her child had ADHD…
But after reviewing history, hemispheric findings, and academic testing, the truth became clear:
➡️ This wasn’t ADHD at all—this was a bona fide learning disability.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that parents deserve clarity, not confusion.

🎙️ Episode 13 of Everything Brain Podcast is here!

This week, Dr. Robert Melillo and Dr. Peter Scire dive into one of the biggest challenges facing parents today — who can you trust when it comes to your child’s health?

In a world flooded with opinions and conflicting information, the doctors break down why so much confusion exists in the treatment of childhood neurobehavioral disorders — and how the Melillo Method brings clarity and integration where others bring fragmentation.

🧠 In this episode, they discuss:
• The left and right brain connection — and how each side “thinks” differently
• Why social media fuels distrust and echo chambers
• The importance of integration in the brain
• The role of systems neuroimmunology and physical examination
• Why multiple diagnoses often point to one thing: a brain imbalance

Tune in to hear powerful stories, practical insights, and the science behind why addressing the brain first changes everything.
