Type 2 diabetes happens when your cells stop responding properly to insulin. Three things drive this: chronic inflammation, damaged cellular energy systems, and disrupted metabolic rhythms. Most doctors manage blood sugar with medication.
I focus on those three drivers instead, because when you reduce inflammation, repair cellular energy production, and restore biological rhythms, insulin sensitivity improves.
Here’s what that looks like in practice
You’ll talk through your current situation with us. Your history, current tablets, what you’re aiming for, and whether this investigative approach is right for you. We’ll check if it’s safe alongside your existing care and answer your questions honestly.
If it’s a good fit and you want to move forward, we’ll arrange your investigation phase.
You’ll have the blood tests NHS guidelines don’t require. Homocysteine, fasting insulin, inflammatory markers and nutritional deficiencies. We’ll also use a food diary and elimination process to identify which foods cause inflammation in your body.
If your history suggests gut-related issues, we can arrange advanced gut testing to investigate further.
Once the results are back, we’ll meet to review what’s driving your insulin resistance and create your treatment plan. At the end of this phase, you’ll know exactly what’s causing your problem.
You’ll start with rhythm adjustments (sleep timing, light exposure, meal windows). We remove the foods identified as inflammatory triggers and replace them with nutritious anti-inflammatory alternatives. Botanical protocols are added when appropriate.
Your progress is tracked regularly and treatment is adjusted as your body responds. If your glucose improves significantly, we coordinate with your GP about medication changes.
At 3 months, we will review your progress. If you’ve hit your targets, treatment is complete. If you need more time, you continue for another 3 months at no additional cost. Everyone responds at their own pace.
