Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, the body produces more insulin to try to overcome reduced insulin sensitivity. In the long run, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to maintain blood sugar levels which can result in hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia provokes oxidative stress which contributes to many of the complications of type 2 diabetes, such as kidney, nerve, retinal, and vascular damage. The Functional Medicine approach emphasizes prevention and support through diet and lifestyle changes. Call us and we can create a plan personalized to you and your body’s needs! #functionalmedicine #rootcause #diabetes #type2 #FM

Are you tired of feeling tired? Fatigue can touch almost all of life and can be caused by many varied circumstances. The Functional Medicine approach to fatigue looks at the whole person and sees the complex interrelationships among many diverse variables. In short, everything that has ever happened to you collectively brings you to the place of feeling fatigued. Usually, fatigue results from a complex set of interacting factors rather than a single cause. For each of us, the source of fatigue may be different because our specific genetics are different, and our specific exposures are different. #functionalmedicine #fatigue #tootired #rootcause #health #wellness #nutrition
