Metabolic problems are **conditions that disrupt the body’s ability to process energy from food, caused by issues with the chemical reactions involved in metabolism, such as enzyme deficiencies or hormonal imbalances**. Common types include inherited disorders like PKU and metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal fat, which increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Symptoms vary widely but can include fatigue, weight changes, and digestive issues.
