Diabetes
In the United States, over 30 million people have diabetes. This complex medical condition impacts the way your body handles your blood glucose.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes prevents your body from properly processing blood glucose. With type two diabetes, your pancreas stops producing enough insulin, the hormone that lets your cells take in blood sugar. Your cells also stop responding correctly to insulin. You may hear this referred to as “insulin resistance.”
Symptoms can include:
Increased thirstFrequent urinationUnintended weight lossBlurred visionSlow-healing woundsFatigue
How do I know if I have it?
Your doctor can perform a blood test to check your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is consistently too high, this can indicate diabetes.
Treating it at the root
At its root, a bio-energetic imbalance causes insulin resistance. With a bio-energetic imbalance, your body’s energy supply runs too low. Through a bio-energetic and holistic approach, we can fix these issues and treat your insulin resistance at its source. By nourishing your body with a balanced diet, managing stress, getting regular exercise, and balancing your hormones, you can restore your body’s bio-energy and reverse insulin resistance.
Leaky gut
Leaky gut syndrome — medically, intestinal hyper-permeability — involves damage to the lining of your small intestine. That allows unwanted substances into the bloodstream, which can trigger immune responses throughout the body.
Associated symptoms:
BloatingFood sensitivityFatigueDigestive issuesSkin problemsMood swings
The approach
Care goes beyond symptom management. Identifying root causes means evaluating your health history, lifestyle, and diet, then building a customized plan that can take in dietary adjustments, stress management and lifestyle changes.
Autoimmune disorders
Autoimmune disorders affect about 50 million people in the United States.
What are they?
Your immune system is supposed to defend your body against viruses, bacteria, parasites, and cancer. Autoimmune disorders cause your immune system to mistakenly attack your body instead of these foreign invaders. Lupus, ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the conditions this covers.
Symptoms can include:
PainFatigueDizzinessHeadachesDigestive issuesGeneral malaiseFrequent fevers
How they are treated
Treatment can involve medications, steroids and lifestyle changes, dietary modifications including anti-inflammatory foods and probiotics, and holistic and bioenergetic practices. True wellness should integrate your unique dietary needs, lifestyle, and holistic practices.
Brain fog & fatigue
Brain fog describes a group of symptoms that make it difficult to think, focus, remember, and concentrate. Fatigue is extreme tiredness or lack of energy.
Four factors are looked at first:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Chronic stress
- Sleep quality
- Undiagnosed conditions such as anemia or hypothyroidism
The approach
A holistic, patient-centred method that goes past symptom management. Individual care plans cover nutrition, stress management through practices such as meditation and yoga, sleep quality, and identifying any underlying disease.
Weight loss
Struggling with traditional dieting? You may be treating the symptoms of your weight issues, not the root causes.
Why the current approach may not be working
Most diets fail due to the concept of metabolic slowdown. When your metabolism slows down during a period of initial weight loss, you burn fewer calories.
The approach
At Yellowstone Elite Longevity, we don’t just put a bandaid on your symptoms; we work to find and address the root cause.
