What Diabetes Treatment Doesn’t Work?
Hi, I’m Dr. Jonathan Spages, and I’ve spent years helping people reverse type 2 diabetes through a root-cause approach. Many of my patients come to me after being told the same advice: take medication, lose weight, exercise, and watch your diet. While these generic recommendations might sound helpful, they rarely lead to lasting improvements.
In this article, I’ll explain why traditional diabetes treatments often fall short and how addressing the root causes of diabetes can transform your health.
Why Traditional Diabetes Treatments Don’t Work
The standard medical approach to diabetes treats every patient the same way:
- Prescribe medications to lower blood sugar.
- Advise weight loss and exercise.
- Suggest vague dietary changes like “eat healthier.”
While these steps might manage symptoms temporarily, they don’t address why someone became diabetic in the first place. Diabetes isn’t just a blood sugar problem; it’s a symptom of deeper imbalances in the body.
The Problem with a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Diabetes is unique to each individual. The same treatment won’t work for everyone because the root causes can vary dramatically. For some, it might be related to stress, while for others, it could be organ dysfunction, inflammation, or even hidden infections. Simply masking symptoms with medication doesn’t solve the underlying problem—it only prolongs the condition.
The Root Cause Approach
When I work with a patient, I don’t just see them as “a diabetic.” I dig deep to uncover the specific reasons behind their condition. Some of the key areas I investigate include:
- Organ Health: Are key organs like the liver or pancreas functioning properly?
- Inflammation: Is chronic inflammation disrupting the body’s ability to heal?
- Infections or Toxins: Are hidden infections or toxins contributing to metabolic dysfunction?
- Stress: Are high-stress levels driving hormonal imbalances and blood sugar spikes?
By identifying and addressing these root causes, my patients see remarkable improvements. Their blood sugar stabilizes, their A1C levels drop, and many find themselves needing less (or no) medication.
Why Customization is Key
One of the most important aspects of reversing diabetes is customization. You’re not the same as your friend or neighbor who also has diabetes, so your treatment shouldn’t be the same either. Your body has its unique challenges, and your care plan needs to reflect that.
My approach is personalized and designed to address the exact factors causing your diabetes. With the right testing and tailored protocols, you can:
- Improve blood sugar levels naturally.
- Reduce or eliminate the need for medications (with your doctor’s guidance).
- Lose weight without intense exercise programs.
- Regain energy and avoid long-term complications.
Conclusion
