Holistic Health Coaching
Weight loss, proper nutrition, and increased exercise are the 3 pillars of managing type 2 diabetes naturally. But that is often easier said than done, which is why we offer comprehensive health coaching services. We not only give you the tools you need for success but also the support and motivation to produce healthy habits and long-term results you can be proud of. Our staff of holistic medical providers specializes in helping you identify barriers to wellness and find ways to prevent and manage chronic disease, all with a detail-oriented and encouraging focus. A few tips for blood sugar support we will discuss with you include:
- Smart health goals
- Portion control and healthy snacking
- High protein and fiber diet
- Low glycemic index foods
- Sleep quality
- Stress reduction
- Daily exercise
GLP-1 Medications
Along with simple lifestyle modifications, medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can be helpful tools in promoting blood sugar control and even weight loss. These GLP-1 drugs are helpful with triggering your body to produce more insulin, as well as slow the digestion process so that you feel fuller longer. Are you wondering if you are a candidate for this type of blood sugar support? Our functional medicine professionals would be happy to speak with you about your medical history and health goals to determine whether Tirzepatide or another option would be a good fit for your needs.
Blood Sugar Support Supplements
If you are interested in managing your diabetes without using GLP-1 medications, you may want to consider some of these natural blood sugar support supplements:
- Berberine– This plant-based compound supports optimal lipid and blood glucose levels and is key for healthy metabolic processes.
- Chromium– The Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) molecule is a vital factor for healthy glucose metabolism, and chromium is a part of improving metabolic function and insulin response.
- ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) – Omega-3s like EPA and DHA as well as ALA work to maintain insulin function and glucose balance in addition to many other health benefits including cardiovascular support.
- Mitoquinol mesylate, zinc, and cinnamon extract are other ingredients found in many supplements backed by science to support normal blood sugar levels.
- Hibiscus flower and lemon verbena – a fantastic herbal combination that can help reduce cravings and curb your appetite.
