About Your Diabetes
We have extensive experience and success in resolving blood sugar issues in Type II diabetics. The majority of our patients experience substantial boosts in energy, mental clarity, and weight loss without exercise or complex diet plans, effectively regaining an optimal level of health and a dramatic improvement in everyday quality of life.
With our functional medicine approach, patients receive the personalized care they need to reduce and eliminate the need for medications and insulin. This also mitigates the risk for diabetic complications like heart attacks, strokes, ED, neuropathy, and memory loss. Many patients become clinically non-diabetic.
Digestive Issues
Functional Medicine looks at the entire body as a whole, rather than the symptoms. Digestive symptoms are a sign of a larger issue. Subsequently, episodes of anxiety and depression may be experienced more frequently in patients with GI disorders.
While medications may help with your symptoms temporarily, they won't correct the bigger problem. Many tests, such as a comprehensive stool test, nutrient deficiency testing, leaky gut, and food sensitivities can usually identify the root problem. We have incredible success resolving GI issues.
Autoimmune Diseases
While much of the conventional treatment for autoimmune disease is aimed at relieving the pain or symptoms through immune-suppressing medications and other drugs, Functional Medicine offers an alternative to symptom suppression—by addressing the underlying mechanisms that cause autoimmunity, we can prevent, and in many cases reverse, autoimmune diseases completely.
Stress, Hormones, and Skin
The relationship between Stress, Hormones, and Inflammation has been studied rigorously in the past decade, with researchers finding evidence that the inflammatory pathway is pivotal in the root causes of many chronic diseases.
In fact, 75%–90% of human disease is related to stress and inflammation. This can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and skin issues like dryness, psoriasis, eczema, rashes, bloating, cognitive decline, etc. Functional Medicine can get to the root of the problem and correct it so that symptoms subside. You look and feel great again.
Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression
Neurotransmitters responsible for happiness, a positive mood, and a sense of well-being are active in the brain as well as in the gut. Research suggests that these neurotransmitters help regulate sleep, anxiety, and depression as well as nutrient absorption, the innate immune system, and the microbiome.
Functional Medicine helps get to the root cause of your problem through proper testing and a proper treatment plan so symptoms are relieved quickly. We help get you back to feeling your best!
