Targeting chronic metabolic disease at the root cause through medical lifestyle interventions.
Targeting chronic metabolic disease at the root cause through medical lifestyle interventions.
We target insulin resistance through personalized strategies to restore long-term metabolic health, help you improve labs, and reduce medication dependencies.
Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed. Many of our patients never go back on their medications and still have good control of their blood sugars with structured lifestyle changes. We target insulin resistance through nutrition, weight management, movement, and sleep optimization. Lifestyle Medicine is different because we focus on the root cause, not just the numbers. Our team partners with you to improve labs, reduce medication needs when appropriate, and restore long-term metabolic health.
What you eat does affect your blood sugar levels. It is not as simple as you may think. While limiting or avoiding refined sugars (like sugary drinks and treats) is a good start, additional changes, such as eating fresh fruits, beans, peas and other foods rich in fiber and antioxidants, can help lower your blood sugar levels, and even out spikes and drops. Likewise, limiting foods high in fat, especially processed treats, fried foods, and meat, poultry and eggs high in saturated fat, leads to better insulin sensitivity and over time, better blood sugar control.
Medical acupuncture support patients with diabetes by supporting blood sugar regulation and nerve health while reducing stress that worsens glycemic control. Acupuncture complements conventional care by supporting metabolic balance for common diabetes‑related symptoms.
Osteopathic care improves mobility, circulation, and stress physiology that influence insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. Reducing physical stress and improving function enhances the effectiveness of lifestyle and medical therapies.
Several studies have shown dramatic improvement, and even reversal of type 2 diabetes, when patients follow a whole-food plant-based diet; also, the Mediterranean diet – characterized by a high intake of whole plants with limited meat or fowl and fermented dairy – has also been shown to be very beneficial. Getting sufficient sleep, regular physical activity, especially after meals, and reducing stress are also important.
