We address the root, not just the numbers.
Metabolic syndrome is not five separate problems. It is one pattern showing up in five ways. We focus on the upstream drivers: insulin resistance, inflammation, gut health, sleep, and stress.

Ayurvedic & Functional Medicine for Metabolic Syndrome
Your numbers are creeping up and you are following the guidance, but you still do not feel like yourself. We help adults take back control of their metabolic health, working alongside your current medical team.
- Root-cause focus
- Works with your doctor
- Local and virtual care
A different way to look at it
One pattern. Not five separate problems.
We work with your doctor, not around them.
Dr. Pranav Lad focuses on the areas conventional care often does not have time for: nutrition, lifestyle, deeper lab testing, and personalized botanical guidance. Most of our patients continue seeing their PCP while working with us.
What care looks like with us
Personalized care, built to keep working over time.
Real change in metabolic health happens through steady, individualized care, not a one-size protocol.
A plan built around your life
Food, routines, sleep, stress. No cookie-cutter protocols.
Individualized botanical formulas
Gentle, tailored to you.
Steady follow-through
Metabolic health shifts over months, not days.
Deeper labs
Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and inflammatory markers that catch dysfunction early.
Does this sound familiar?
Common patterns we help with
Metabolic syndrome shows up differently in everyone. Some of the patterns we see most often:
- Fasting glucose or A1C creeping up toward pre-diabetes range
- Blood pressure trending high despite lifestyle effort
- Stubborn weight around the midsection that will not shift
- Low energy, brain fog, or feeling chronically wired-but-tired
- Cholesterol patterns your doctor mentions but does not yet medicate
- Mood, sleep, and stress that compound the physical picture
How it works
What to expect when you reach out
A clear, low-pressure path from your first conversation to a plan you can actually follow.
Free discovery call
A short Zoom conversation to understand what is going on, share how we work, and decide together if it is a fit.
Initial consultation
If we move forward, this is where we build the picture: history, labs, lifestyle, and where Ayurveda’s lens adds depth to what conventional care has already mapped.
Personalized protocol
Food, daily rhythms, targeted botanical formulas, and the specific labs we want to track. No cookie-cutter plans.
Follow-ups
Metabolic health shifts over months. We adjust based on what your body is telling us.
Frequently asked questions
Before you book, here is what we hear most.
If you have a question we did not cover, the team is happy to walk you through it on the free discovery call. No pressure, no surprises.
Often, yes, especially when patterns are caught early. Many of our patients come in with labs that are concerning but not yet at the threshold their doctor wants to medicate. That window is where Ayurvedic and functional medicine work best: addressing the upstream drivers before they require pharmaceutical intervention. For patients already on medication, we work alongside your doctor to support root-cause healing in parallel.
Yes. Most of our patients continue seeing their primary care physician while working with us. Dr. Lad’s role is to fill in the areas conventional medicine often does not have time for: nutrition, lifestyle, deeper labs, and individualized botanical care. We collaborate, we do not compete.
Yes. We offer both in-person consultations at our Albuquerque, NM clinic and virtual Zoom appointments for patients anywhere in the United States. The discovery call is always virtual to make it easy to get started.
Beyond the standard panels your PCP runs, we often add fasting insulin, HOMA-IR (insulin resistance index), high-sensitivity CRP, and other inflammatory markers. These catch metabolic dysfunction earlier than the markers conventional care tracks, giving us a clearer picture and earlier window to intervene.
A thoughtful integration
Why combine Ayurveda with functional medicine for metabolic syndrome
Ayurveda has been working with metabolic patterns for thousands of years. What modern medicine now describes as metabolic syndrome fits within how Ayurveda has long understood digestion (agni), tissue accumulation, and the lifestyle imbalances that disrupt them.
Combining that traditional lens with modern functional medicine labs and a personalized protocol is what makes the work at Healing Arts of Veda different. Not alternative medicine, not conventional medicine alone, but a thoughtful, individualized integration of both for adults who want to take their metabolic health back without waiting for the next prescription.
