Whether you have diabetes or not, you probably know that spiking blood sugar is a dangerous thing for people with diabetes But why is this bad, and how does it create problems? Our cells normally have plenty of insulin receptors. Typically, our blood glucose freely and efficiently enters our cells to be converted to energy.

One of the most interesting, exciting things we see in our clinic is when our patients come in week after week with improved blood sugar after decreasing their medication. On the Help Your Diabetes program, patients receive support and weekly follow-up to reverse their diabetes. Our patients experience better blood sugar in week four than in week one (again, on less medication).

PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) therapy is an emerging treatment for individuals suffering from degenerative or arthritic joint conditions. Professional athletes have had access to this type of cutting-edge treatment for years, but more and more physicians are beginning incorporate it into their offerings for joint pain, arthritis, injuries and even cosmetic enhancements.

I've always believed that true health comes from within. This still holds true for dental health. It's interesting, for example, that there are isolated non-industrialized populations around the world in which brushing does not exist and dental health is superior to that in western countries.

Are you feeling the effects of a low or thyroid? You're not alone! Thyroid disease is an increasingly common cause of fatigue and weight gain.

The well established approach to mental health in our country is one of 'trial and error.' While millions suffer from depression and anxiety, it may not be the best approach.

If you’re in OKC, you’ve probably been peppered with men’s health commercials, many of which even take an antagonistic tone on the subject of male erectile dysfunction (ED).

When I sit down with new patients, I am always surprised to hear how little they know about the underlying cause of their condition. When we hold seminars, I even ask the audience, "What is the underlying problem with Diabetes?"

Pain is… well, PAINFUL, even if it's for a good cause. So when considering what type of exercise to do, instinctively many of us would choose the least painful option. Would you sprint up a steep hill or take a leisurely walk down a windy road? Would you do a few repetitions with low-resistance exercise bands while watching an episode of NCIS or curl a 35 pound dumbbell until your arms felt like two fried eggs hanging on a nail?
