Dr. Sarah Axtell, naturopathic doctor at Lakeside Natural Medicine, is inviting community members to take charge of their metabolic health through an upcoming Metabolic Group Visit. Scheduled for Friday, September 18, at Lakeside Natural Medicine, in Shorewood, the interactive program offers a practical, food-focused approach to improving weight, blood sugar, energy and overall wellness. 

With only about 12 percent of Americans considered metabolically healthy, many people struggle with weight, elevated blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol and other metabolic concerns. Research shows that behavior change is often more successful in a supportive group setting, making this program an encouraging option for those seeking lasting lifestyle improvements.

Participants will receive nutrition education, group support, cooking demonstrations and food tastings, along with a comprehensive take-home guidebook covering weight loss strategies, metabolic laboratory testing, food label reading, GLP-1 medications, recipes and supplement guidance. The program emphasizes using food as medicine to help balance blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance and improve energy, mood and overall metabolic health.

Dr. Axtell is passionate about helping patients achieve better health through therapeutic nutrition and lifestyle medicine. She works with individuals experiencing digestive disorders, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, weight-loss resistance, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances and other chronic health concerns.
