Episode 207: Diabetes Part 2: A Functional Approach

Are you or a loved one dealing with insulin resistance? Want to know more about treating insulin resistance from the root cause? Curious about how this could be slowing your weight loss or causing other concerning symptoms? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down what insulin resistance is, what causes it and how it can be treated with diet and lifestyle modification.

A diet high in carbohydrates, constant access to food as well as micronutrient deficiencies have all led to a rise in insulin resistance and diagnosis of diabetes in the US.

Have you or a family member been diagnosed with diabetes or told you are pre-diabetic? Want to know more about signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment and where things have gone off course? Curious about the influence of food subsidies and pharma funding for diabetes research? Tune in as Ali and Becki peel off the veil on Type 2 diabetes, exposing some serious room for improvement in the treatment of this preventable lifestyle disease.

In this episode, Ali and Becki drill down on diabetes and insulin resistance, from risk factors to diagnostic criteria and focus primarily on where we have gone wrong with management of this reversible condition.

Episode 201: Autism and ADHD: A Functional Approach

Is your child dealing with a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism? Looking for alternative approaches to medication for behavioral issues? Want to know how to best support neurological health, concentration and focus? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the rise of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, from conventional approaches to supporting optimal neurological and behavioral health in our children. In today’s episode we will cover primary irritants to avoid as well as foods to focus on and some root causes of imbalance including gut health, detoxification pathways, and nutritional deficiency trends. 

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss functional approaches to neurological and behavioral health from assessing common nutritional deficiencies, identifying food allergies or heavy metal toxicity, balancing blood sugar levels and providing nutrients for optimal cognitive function. 

We take a whole body approach addressing mind with restructuring thought patterns and self-esteem building techniques, behavior with development of routine and consistency, and diet to ensure we can provide you with balanced support for optimal results. Some of the most over prescribed medications include methamphetamines to treat attention deficits, especially in kids. 

But what is exciting is that we know that  ADHD and other psychological disorders may be caused by dietary/digestive reasons and may be treated with food as medicine.
