Did you know that 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. has metabolic syndrome, yet most don’t even know it? This cluster of risk factors silently increases your chances of developing heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. But here’s the good news: with the right strategies, you can reverse the course and reclaim control of your health.

Tired, Gaining Weight, and Don’t Know Why?

You’re not lazy. You’re not undisciplined. But no matter how hard you try, the weight doesn’t come off, the energy never lasts, and you just don’t feel like yourself.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone—and you’re not just “getting older.” Many of the patients we care for at Innovative Primary Care in San Antonio, Rockport, and Bandera, Texas (as well as through virtual visits) come to us with these same concerns. The truth is, it’s often hormonal imbalance, not age, that’s behind your symptoms.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is more common than you might think—affecting up to 1 in 10 people globally. Yet many continue to suffer in silence, unsure whether their symptoms are serious or manageable. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why does my stomach always hurt?” or “Why do I feel bloated no matter what I eat?”—you’re not alone. The good news? IBS is a highly manageable condition when approached with the right care, guidance, and lifestyle support—starting right at your family practice.
