We take a unique approach to insulin therapy by utilizing and applying insulin as a hormone rather than merely as a drug. This distinction is essential because, when we treat insulin as a hormone, we are not simply forcing the body to respond in a temporary or superficial way. Instead, we are working to retrain the body’s cells to become sensitive to insulin once again. By restoring this natural sensitivity, we are effectively addressing the root cause of insulin resistance. It’s akin to turning back the clock on the progressive nature of insulin resistance. When this is achieved, it naturally reduces or even eliminates many of the challenging symptoms associated with diabetes, such as high blood sugar levels, fatigue, and the risk of complications.

The beauty of this approach is that it offers long-term, sustainable benefits. By improving the body’s natural response to insulin, patients can experience a more balanced, healthier life, with stable blood sugar levels that are closer to normal ranges. This can lead to a reduction in dependency on medications and, in many cases, can help prevent the progression of diabetes. It also lowers the risk of associated complications like cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems, allowing patients to live with greater energy, vitality, and peace of mind about their health.

In contrast, the traditional method of using insulin as a drug, such as through insulin injections or medications designed to artificially increase insulin levels, tends to overwhelm the cells with insulin. This process essentially forces glucose into the cells, bypassing the body’s natural regulatory systems. While this may provide short-term control of blood sugar, it doesn’t address the underlying issue of insulin resistance. In fact, this common, yet often misguided, approach can cause insulin resistance to worsen over time. The cells become increasingly desensitized to insulin, requiring higher and higher doses to achieve the same effect. As a result, blood sugar control becomes more challenging, and patients may find themselves caught in a cycle of increasing insulin dependence, which may exacerbate diabetes and lead to further metabolic complications.

Our goal is to break this cycle. By restoring the natural hormone function of insulin, we help the body regain its sensitivity to it, which can reduce the need for external insulin and improve the overall quality of life for patients. This approach not only addresses the immediate symptoms but also provides a more holistic and long-term solution to managing and potentially reversing insulin resistance and its related health issues.
