Do you get sugar cravings throughout the day? Do you find it difficult to make it through the day without some caffeine intake? Or do you easily snap at the tiniest things? Well, according to Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, a top US cardiologist (MD, FACC, IFMCP), it may be that your metabolism is waving a red flag.
In a video shared on July 17, California-based Dr Bhojraj wrote, “I know exactly why you crave sugar, can't make it through the afternoon without caffeine, and snap at the tiniest things.” He explained that it is because your metabolism is waving a red flag, and you’ve been trained to ignore it.

{{/usCountry}}According to the cardiologist, when your metabolic system is dysregulated, here's what happens:
- Your blood sugar rises and falls like a rollercoaster.
- Your hormones? Scrambling to keep up.
- Your brain? Constantly in a state of perceived threat.
The result? He explained, “You feel exhausted, irritable, puffy, inflamed — and completely out of control in your own body. And NO medication is going to fix this. It might quiet the symptoms, but it’ll never correct the system.”
What happens when your metabolism is regulated
Dr Bhojraj explained that when your metabolism is working fine and you don't have alarming signs, this is what your body experiences:
- Waking up clear-headed
- Cravings? Gone
- Your mood? Balanced
- Your sleep? Deep
- Your body? 30 pounds lighter — and not because you starved it. All by healing the system that’s been screaming for your attention.
