Did you know you can manage, and often reverse, your diabetes through weight loss?
Not many people know about this and it’s time they do! Through effective weight loss, many of our patients are able to manage diabetes, get off medications, and live a healthier life. Our three-phase, medically supervised program can help you too!
Our Experience Demonstrates Diabetics Benefit from The Hendricks Method Program!
A restricted carbohydrate (very low carb) diet in overweight diabetics will induce reduction of fat mass, weight loss, and lower blood sugars resulting in decreased need for diabetic medications.
Patients general experience the following as a result from The Hendricks Method program:
Prediabetes – reversal of impaired fasting glucose commonly occurs
Diabetes – reversal in some cases of early diabetes improved sugar control – lower blood sugars in 100%
Medication dose reduction 75%
Medication discontinuation of at least one medicine 33%
Decreased complication rates
Symptomatic improvements in Renal function
Symptomatic improvements in Vision
Symptomatic improvements in Neuropathy (if done before permanent nerve damage occurs)
Increased quality of life
Reduction in obesity associated conditions (Asthma, Sleep apnea, arthritis pain, etc.) once insulin was introduced.

In October 2010, Piper made a decision. Tired of taking medication for her diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol, she knew that if she lost weight, these conditions would improve and she would feel better. She called us for help.
Within 6 months, Piper dropped 50 pounds, reversed her diabetes, reversed her hypertension and elevated cholesterol, and no longer needs medications. She reduced her body fat to normal, uncovering her smaller person and restoring her self-confidence. Piper finally learned how to lose the weight and maintain it successfully.
Today, Piper is enjoying life and bike riding with her husband again. Eliminating diabetes was her ultimate goal but she received so much more by using our proven methods for life-long success.
* Individual success varies depending on factors including age, weight, and length of diagnosis.
