Because of this, I thought we should start with the basic physiological mechanisms of blood sugar metabolism. Really basic, it’s [...]

Food Allergies and Sensitivities
Posted in common conditions, food, tagged blood tests, inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome on September 8, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I find that roughly 50% of my patient’s conditions stem from the foods they eat. Think about it.

I treat every patient as the individual they are, and therefore may instruct a patient to restrict certain foods or food groups in order to achieve optimal health. Please note that all foods you eat should ideally be in their whole form; that is, the way they appear in nature. Anything processed is almost always [...]
