For heart health: "Practice good eating! What you eat definitely affects your insulin levels which will affect your metabolism and your cholesterol. A diet high in vegetables and low in simple carbohydrates and saturated fat can reduce cholesterol levels – sometimes as effectively as statin drugs – without the side effects! I’ve seen many patients change their insulin resistance and lower their cholesterol by following these proven dietary guidelines."

Look for DO degrees or doctors trained in Functional Medicine. The Functional medicine site also has a list: https://www.functionalmedicine.org, including a number of MDs and DOs in ME. |
