Living with type 2 diabetes doesn’t mean you’re broken — and it doesn’t mean your only option is more prescriptions. At Dr. West Wellness, we focus on root-cause strategies to support blood sugar management and overall metabolic health.

​

Your Body Is Designed to Adapt — and to Heal

Symptoms like weight gain, low energy, brain fog, and insulin resistance are not personal failures. They’re signs that your body is doing its best to adapt to chronic stressors like poor sleep, environmental toxins, and nutrient-poor diets.

​

The good news? When you reduce those stressors and support your body’s natural design, you can experience real improvements — not just in lab numbers, but in your quality of life.

​

A Whole-Body Approach to Health

​

With a personalized, Functional Medicine strategy, patients often see:

​

• Healthier blood sugar levels

• Improved energy, sleep, and mood

• Decreased neuropathy-related discomfort

• Weight loss and reduced inflammation

​

These changes reflect the body's natural capacity to rebalance and repair. Our goal is to help you tap into that capacity — not to chase symptoms, but to support root-level healing.

​

Understanding the Root Cause

​

Imagine a tree: fatigue, high blood sugar, and neuropathy are like the fruit. But underneath, the roots include chronic inflammation, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, stress, and lifestyle choices. Unless the root issues are addressed, the symptoms persist.

We focus on uncovering and addressing these root contributors so your body can function as it was designed to.

​

The Role of Inflammation

​

Your immune system uses inflammation to heal — but when it’s constantly triggered by poor diet, sleep disruption, and toxins, inflammation can become chronic and damaging.

​

Our approach works to calm that chronic inflammation through lifestyle, nutritional, and environmental changes personalized to your body’s needs.

​

A Common Diagnosis — and a Common Misstep

​

Most people with type 2 diabetes hear the same thing: take medication, lose weight, and accept the diagnosis as lifelong.

​

But few are told to ask: Why is this happening to me? What’s driving this imbalance?

We believe those questions are the start of transformation.

​

Supporting Blood Sugar — Without Relying Solely on Medication

Many patients come to us already taking medications like Metformin or insulin, and still struggling. With our protocol — focused on root causes and lifestyle — they often report improved blood sugar control, greater energy, and weight loss.

​

Note: We do not prescribe, replace, or adjust medications. Any changes must be managed by your prescribing physician. Individual results may vary.

​

Why the Body Resists — and How to Respond

​

What many call "insulin resistance" is often the body’s attempt to protect itself. Through careful nutrition, targeted supplements, and lifestyle changes, we work to reduce the load on your cells so your metabolism can begin to shift toward healing.

​

Type 2 Diabetes Affects the Whole Body

​

We recognize that type 2 diabetes impacts multiple systems:

​

• Eyes: Vision changes

• Kidneys: Metabolic strain

• Nerves: Discomfort or tingling

• Heart & Brain: Increased risk of cardiovascular and cognitive issues

​

That’s why we take a whole-body, personalized approach.

​

You're Not Doomed by Your DNA

​

Genetics may load the gun — but environment pulls the trigger. By addressing your lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental exposures, you can support gene expression that promotes healing and balance.
