Working WITH Your Medical Doctor
Posted by: | CommentsI am questioned by patients, colleagues, and other professionals if I work with their medical doctor. I want to make this point very clear. This is NOT a Lone Ranger approach to your health. I work with your medical doctor with the management of your disease. You must be taking the medication you have been prescribed and you must continue that medication until your medical doctor can safely take you off your medication. Any recommendation for treatment or change of any treatment while under my supervision is backed up with a lab test. This is paramount to success in each patient’s treatment.
Results with this approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes speak for itself. I had a follow up visit with a patient this morning that after only being under my care for less than 45 days had his glucose drop 80 points and his A1C drop 3 whole points, from a 10.0 to a 7.0! He is well on his way to reversing his diabetes. Needless to say, he is thrilled with his results thus far.

Why Doesn’t My Medical Doctor Know About Your Treatment?
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a common question I get all the time that I’d like to talk about today.
What I do is called Functional Medicine. Functional medicine addresses how well your body may or may not be functioning and supports function of that organ, gland, chemical pathway, etc. Once function is restored…then health is restored.
The current Western Medicine approach to disease is based on treating symptoms….you have high cholesterol, well then take this drug to lower the cholesterol…you have high blood pressure, then here’s the drug for lowering high blood pressure…you get the idea. Western Medicine does not treat what is CAUSING the high cholesterol or what is CAUSING the high blood pressure…you see the difference? So, in effect someone’s disease whether it be Type 2 Diabetes or any other chronic disease that is killing millions of Americans…the CAUSE of that disease is not addressed.
There are some forward thinking Medical Doctors who do practice Functional Medicine. As the chronic diseases become more and more common in our society, Functional Medicine will become more and more popular as the current Medical Model fails in restoring health.
So you have to ask yourself….do you want your problem covered up? Or do you want the underlying CAUSE of the problem to be fixed. In my mind, the answer is easy. You DO have a choice when it comes to your health.
