Metabolic syndrome leads to chronic illnesses that account for 43% of all deaths in Canada.Family doctors can detect it early — and with the right support, reverse the risks.Metabolic Syndrome Canada (MetSC) is a not-for-profit organization spearheaded by a group of leading health experts from across the country — practicing family physicians, medical researchers, dietetic specialists and kinesiologists — who are determined to find a better way.Founded in 2011, MetSC has a clear mission: improve the long-term health of Canadians through effective diet and exercise lifestyle intervention.In collaboration with innovative business minds, MetSC has created a program for family medicine clinics that reverses metabolic syndrome and prevents progression to serious conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The CHANGE Program has proven that family physicians and their patients can successfully reverse MetS with an innovative approach based on hard medical evidence and the expertise of dietitians and kinesiologists to pursue a lifestyle that reduces the risk of serious clinical disease. Through the CHANGE Program, doctors are better able to support their patients before life-threatening conditions surface.
