This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Pankaj Vij, MD, FACP author of Turbo Metabolism: 8 Weeks to a New You About the book: As the modern Western lifestyle spreads around the globe, so too does metabolic syndrome — a cluster of symptoms that increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other conditions.
