Metabolic Health Program

Our Metabolic Health Program, based on two decades of patient experiences from the clinics of Ron Rosedale, MD, is deeply rooted in scientific discoveries and uses diet with nutritional supplements to improve one’s well-being. The Metabolic Health Program has long-lasting, important benefits including:

• Improved glucose control

• Improvement, often reversal of Diabetes Type 2

• Improvement, often reversal of cardiovascular disease

• Reduction in blood pressure

• Weight (fat) loss

• Improved kidney function

• Reduced hunger

• Reduced sugar cravings

• Increased energy

• Increased mental focus/memory
  

Many of the beneficial effects can be achieved in 2-3 weeks after starting the program. Each part of AML’s Metabolic Health Program acts together to optimize your health. Although we believe that every part of the Metabolic Health Program is essential, success can be achieved by using any one of them. The 4 main components of the Metabolic Health Program are listed below:

•    The Rosedale Diet
•    On-site Laboratory Testing
•    Nutritional Supplementation
•    Personalized Consultations

The Rosedale Diet
At AML, we recommend a diet quite different from the low fat and high "complex" carbohydrates suggested by most health care providers. We believe a diet of large quantities of carbohydrates and small amounts of essential fat is the root cause of many degenerative diseases, affecting record numbers of Americans today. Instead, we recommend a diet higher in the right kinds of fats and low in total carbohydrates. What makes The Rosedale Diet different from other “low-carb” diets is the recommendation of adequate protein, which means an amount of protein that helps build lean mass and maintain essential functions.

Although this principle is not what you are used to hearing in the media, this approach changes your body into a fat burning machine, which in turn, repairs many of the metabolic abnormalities that underlie many of today’s health problems, such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.

Remember that fat has always been and always will be essential for life. We need fat to nourish our immune system, nervous system, hormonal system and skin integrity; to control inflammatory processes and don't forget, we need fat to burn for energy.

Laboratory Testing
Optimal metabolic health depends upon proper communication among the cells and organs of the body. The central communicators are hormones and lipids. Through a simple blood test, we can learn much of what is necessary to begin your road to optimal health. We have chosen what we believe are the most accurate indicators of your health and we are able to properly interpret the values obtained from those blood measurements. For example, although we will measure your cholesterol, we know that cholesterol levels have very little to do with your health status. Therefore, we will not tailor our treatment to reduce cholesterol although this is a consequence of our treatment strategy.

Two major players in your metabolic health are the hormones leptin and insulin. If you are diabetic or obese and do not monitor your nutritional intake, your cells cannot correctly communicate with one another, and the amounts of leptin and insulin produced become aberrantly high. An essential component of The Rosedale Diet is to restore the body’s ability to listen to these essential hormones, so that you may achieve optimal health.

To learn about the specific blood tests offered and why they are important, see  LABORATORY TESTING.

Nutritional Supplements
Our Metabolic Health Program will achieve its greatest impact when the dietary recommendations are coupled with nutritional supplementation. Our nutritional supplement formulas have been specifically designed to complement the dietary modifications by targeting the body’s machinery responsible for fat metabolism. Most Americans’ diets do not have the proper nutrients necessary to improve the ability to metabolize fat. If there is no fat around, the body must use other ways to provide energy for vital functions and, therefore, leads to the improper communication among the cells in your body. Our nutritional supplements are of the highest quality to help repair the aberrant talk between your cells.

Personalized Consultations
Our program allows the individual to play a major part in his/her health. Although we do not require a consultation to start our program, we offer one-on-one consultations with our Nutritional Specialist. Here, you can discuss your specific needs. Once enrolled in the program, our Nutritional Specialist will discuss the your progression with the various aspects of the program including your diet, laboratory tests, and nutritional supplement needs.
