About Diabetes Prevention

According to The American Diabetes Association, over 38.4 million Americans (11.6% of the population) have diabetes. This diagnosis can lead to severely reduced quality of life. For example, complications of diabetes include cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, eye problems, ulcers, and even amputations. Medical expenditures of those with diabetes is 2.6x higher than expenditures would be in the absence of diabetes

While all of the above stats are frightening, the really good news is that Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle-acquired, and therefore reversible, metabolic condition. Marked by insulin resistance, patients are in direct control of the decisions they make to reverse this process, and live a life free of diabetes. Our providers are experts in reversing insulin resistance, and can help patients live a diabetes free life without the use of medications, especially insulin, which just exacerbates the problem.

Our board certified obesity medicine practitioner provides personalized plans for individuals who want to reverse insulin resistance, and maintain a healthy, diabetes-free lifestyle

Testing, Treatment, and Goals

Prior to any appointments, baseline testing on specific laboratory markers are ordered to point towards specific metabolic needs. Treatment planning is developed through a thorough discussion of history, lifestyle, review of systems, and lab results. Programs are personalized to the individual. They may include lifestyle changes (dietary, etc…), natural therapies, and medications (if necessary). Early diagnosis of insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and prevention of diabetes are the goals of this program

Provider Appointments

Before any appointments, lab testing is ordered to identify baselines of patients’ metabolic risk factors. The program includes 2 visits (to start) with our board certified obesity medicine practitioner, India Scott. The initial visit is a a thorough and comprehensive hour long appointment. The followup appointment is to be used in the following 3-6 month period, based upon the acute needs of a patient, to track progress and identify continued course of action.

After the initial two appointments, patients can book future followups on an as-needed basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see success?

Patients who are dedicated to their programs can expect to see small, and even significant changes quickly. Studies show insulin resistance can be significantly reversed in as little as 4-8 weeks. However, this will also depend on your baseline metabolic health. Those with more severe insulin resistance may take longer. Your dedication and commitment to your plan will determine your outcomes

Do you use insulin?

The conventional approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes has been to use insulin. When you consider the fact that Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle-acquired condition marked by insulin resistance, you can quickly see why the use of insulin is detrimental to patients. We tackle insulin resistance through a combination of lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), natural compounds, and (if necessary) pharmaceutical drugs with good safety profiles (ie: Metformin)

Why can't I just do this on my own?

You certainly could! However, some cases are more complicated than others. Additionally, there is a lot of information out there that can lead to outright dangerous practices. If you are seeking a safe way to educate yourself, and wean your body away from its insulin resistance, this program is great for you
