Over 90% of women with these problems actually don’t have a thyroid problem and are commonly falling victim to a Major Health Care Flaw. Find out what may be missing in your case. Start addressing the fire vs. addressing the smoke.
Type 2 Diabetes
There is more to Type 2 Diabetes than; Genetics, Weight, Lifestyle, and Diet. In fact, these categories are often not helpful at all in Improving Type II Diabetes.
The research shows Type 2 diabetes is treatable. A recent study in The Journal of American Medical Association suggests that Type 2 Diabetes Can be put into partial or COMPLETE remission. (jama 2012 Dec 12;308 (23): 2489-96.)
Functional Medicine
Our clinical model which many refer to as “Functional Medicine” is the branch of healthcare that addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and using diagnostic testing to find the cause of your ailment, and not just put a bandage over the symptoms.
In our opinion it is a clinical model that best addresses the needs of our communities. Ultimately we feel a clinical model for the 21st Century.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Our Type 2 Diabetes Program Different?
How’s your program different than what I have done or I am doing right now?
The answer is simple.
Currently if you were in pharmacological model, you’re being treated for symptoms and/or lab values and are being given medication to cover up the symptoms which are just gonna bully your body’s physiology to make your labs look normal. We called this treating the smoke versus treating the fire.
Diabetes is an issue of Blood Vessels
In dealing with many diabetic patients, I am constantly puzzled that they don’t know the most common complications from actually having diabetes. You may or may not know but diabetes is not a blood sugar issue. It’s a blood vessel issue.
The failure of the body to regulate the blood sugar is just the symptom. But the complications are from the blood vessel issues.
The No. 1 complications for type 2 diabetes are having a heart attack as well as high blood pressure.
What SHOULD Eat As a Type II Diabetic?
Hey guys welcome back. One of the most common questions I’m asked is “what do I eat or what should I eat?” The answer is that depends. I mean you don’t need me to tell you that you probably shouldn’t eat cupcakes, choco chip cookies, and French fries. The real answer is; it depends on what causes immune system responses with you.
Weight Has Nothing To Do With Type II Diabetes
This is Dr. Wander of Integrated Health Center of Maryland. I’m constantly told my patients that their doctor had told them to follow this instructions: lose weight, change your diet, and exercise. Now then I ask, “Well what you were told to do to lose weight and which exercises?”
