What We Treat
How Exercise Physiologists Work with
Metabolic Conditions
Metabolic conditions affect the body’s ability to regulate and process energy, often leading to complications such as weight gain, insulin resistance, inflammation, and cardiovascular risks. These conditions can significantly impact daily life, making movement, energy balance, and long-term health difficult to manage.
Combined Wellness Solutions’ Exercise Physiologists (EPs) play a role in managing metabolic conditions by designing individualised exercise programs to improve metabolism, insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being.
Through evidence-based interventions, our EPs focus on:
- Enhancing insulin sensitivity – Resistance and aerobic training help improve glucose uptake and insulin function, benefiting individuals with diabetes and insulin resistance.
- Optimising fat metabolism – Structured exercise programs increase fat oxidation, helping to regulate weight and body composition.
- Managing inflammation and oxidative stress – Physical activity can reduce systemic inflammation and oxidative damage associated with metabolic disorders.
- Improving cardiovascular health – Exercise supports heart function, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome complications.
- Supporting muscle mass and strength – Strength training helps prevent muscle loss and promotes metabolic efficiency.
- Enhancing energy levels and fatigue management – Structured movement routines help individuals combat energy fluctuations and chronic fatigue.
Exercise Physiologists work with individuals to create personalised movement strategies, considering fitness level, medical history, and metabolic function. We also educate clients on lifestyle strategies, including physical activity guidelines, movement integration into daily life, and sustainable exercise habits.
