Many of the medical conditions we treat have one
common denominator, insulin. Insulin plays several roles in the
body including:
This underscores its role in weight and health. Elevated levels
of insulin can be the underlying cause of resistant
weight
loss,
diabetes, unstable
blood sugar, hypoglycemia,
metabolic
syndrome,
heart
disease, increased blood pressure,
hormonal
imbalance,
PCOS
and certain cancers. Because of this, we use a controlled
carbohydrate plan, like the Atkins’ diet, as the foundation
of our medical practice. In addition to the health benefits,
people will lose weight, regulate blood sugar, stabilize moods,
control appetite and most importantly improve quality of life.
Although insulin can be linked to many common ailments it is
not the sole contributor to ill health. There are many conditions
such
as chronic fatigue syndrome, for example, that require medical
care beyond diet alone. All of the conditions described on this
website affect quality of life. We are concerned with your well-being
and value your input in finding solutions to your complaints.
