Managing Type 2 diabetes can be challenging.
Confused about how to lower your blood sugar?
Not sure what to eat — or the best way to do it?
You’re not alone.
​
-
You’ve followed your doctor’s advice...
-
You’ve taken the meds...
-
You’ve tried to eat “healthier"...
-
You’ve “watched your sugar”...
But your A1c is still high.
You feel like you're failing — but you’re not.
You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and confused.
And no one’s really explained why, what’s going on, or what to do next.
​
That's where I come in.
HERE'S THE THING: MOST PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES ARE TOLD THEY JUST NEED TO CUT CALORIES, AVOID FAT, WATCH THEIR SUGARS, TAKE THEIR MEDS AS PRESCRIBED, AND THEY'LL BE JUST FINE.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
THAT'S NOT THE REAL PROBLEM.
​
THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THIS STANDARD ADVICE KEEPS BLOOD SUGAR UNSTABLE AND MAKES INSULIN RESISTANCE WORSE — BECAUSE IT IGNORES WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON IN YOUR BODY.
The truth is, if you don’t fix the real cause of your blood sugar issues — like insulin resistance, poor food quality, high-carb eating, and toxin overload — then no amount of medication or willpower will fix it. If you want to see real, lasting change, you have to start working with your body instead of against it.
Hi there! I'm Derek Dean
As a licensed Pharmacist and Functional Medicine Practitioner, I help people with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes balance their blood sugar, lower their A1c, and reverse the root issue — insulin resistance —all without relying on more medications.
​
Because REAL progress doesn’t come from just treating symptoms.
It comes from understanding what’s really going on — and having the right tools to fix it.
Why I Do This
After 16 years in practice, I’ve learned that the mainstream method of treating Type 2 diabetes isn’t working.​​
​​​
When your blood sugar is out of control, everything feels harder — your energy, your mood, your sleep, even your hope.​
​
My goal is to cut through the confusion and conflicting information around Type 2 diabetes and give you a clear, natural path to better blood sugar and lasting health.
​
This isn’t a quick fix or extreme diet.
It’s a sustainable, food-first approach that adapts over time as you disrupt diabetes in your life. Balancing your blood sugar is the foundation. And once that’s in place, you’ll be amazed at how much better life feels — and how much more fully you can live it.
​
I want to empower you to have more energy, feel more confident, and take back control of your health so that you can show up fully for the people you love and live out the plans and purpose for your life.
