Our natural approach has helped hundreds of patients lower their A1C levels, reduce insulin dependence, and even eliminate the need for certain drugs. Instead of masking symptoms, we target the root causes of insulin resistance through a personalized program that includes customized meal plans, comprehensive lab testing, gut health support, professional-grade supplements that are safe alongside prescriptions, and weekly nutritional guidance. We also integrate acupuncture to support overall wellness, giving patients a complete, sustainable path to better blood sugar control.

Nutrition is the foundation of diabetes care. Our customized meal plans are designed to help you control blood sugar levels while keeping calorie intake in check. We tailor your plan to your individual needs, food preferences, and lifestyle, making it easier to stick with your goals. With balanced meals and smart food choices, you will learn how to fuel your body in a way that supports long-term success.
We begin with in-depth lab testing to understand what is happening inside your body. These tests check your blood glucose, blood pressure, and hormone levels to determine whether your body produces enough insulin. With this information, we can build a targeted care plan that focuses on your imbalances rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our supplement protocols support your body’s ability to manage diabetes naturally. We use only professional-grade products that are safe, effective, and will not interfere with medications you may already be taking. Each supplement regimen is carefully chosen based on your lab results and symptoms, offering personalized care that complements your overall plan.
The gut plays a crucial role in your ability to produce insulin and effectively manage blood sugar. That is why we assess and support gut function as part of our comprehensive approach. Through targeted probiotics, dietary adjustments, and natural therapies, we help restore balance to your microbiome, which can improve your metabolic function and support better glucose control.
Our team offers weekly support to help you stay on track with your personalized diabetes management plan. This includes updates to your meal plan, coaching on a healthy lifestyle, and practical tools for self-management. We also help you integrate exercise into your routine in a way that is manageable and aligned with your goals, creating a sustainable path forward.
Acupuncture is included in many of our programs to support stress management and overall well-being. This ancient therapy can help balance hormones, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. By incorporating acupuncture into your personalized approach, we address both the physical and emotional aspects of diabetes, promoting a more complete sense of health and healing.
