Metabolic Healing Through Nutritional Therapies

What is a metabolic disorder?

Metabolic disorders are disease states that occur in someone because of the imbalance of chemicals, hormones, and biochemical reactions that occur in the body. While some of them can be genetic, the vast majority of these are caused by an imbalance of foods that we eat. Metabolic diseases include obesity, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, diabetes, hypertension and even mixed hyperlipidemia. Syndromes such as Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH), otherwise nicknamed Fatty Liver, are also metabolic disorders that can easily be reversed just by diet and lifestyle. Some have even made the point that cancers may have a metabolic origin. At the root of most chronic diseases is a metabolic disorder.

Metabolic Healing through TCR

At the Center for Metabolic Healing, we treat metabolic disorders through a nutritional therapy called TCR or Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction. The Standard American Diet (SAD) has led to the epidemic of obesity and metabolic disease in our country and we are sicker than we have ever been. In this current COVID-19 climate, it is even more important to create metabolic healing in our bodies and that starts with nutrition therapies.

“Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

– Hippocrates

Each individual is unique and the therapeutic approach we take is tailored to you. Through a combination of health coaching, education and monitoring, we lay a foundation for you to create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. We also believe group support and accountability are keys to success so we offer both individual and group programs. Our goal is to provide the framework you will need to achieve metabolic healing and weight loss if needed.

Individual Programs

Consultation with Dr. Andrew Oswari:

If you currently have diabetes, cancer or another chronic condition that requires ongoing monitoring, we recommend you have an initial consultation with Dr. Oswari at the Chung Institute of Integrative Medicine. This consultation would involve a thorough health history, bloodwork, and an evaluation of next steps to achieve metabolic healing. After this initial consultation, you can also supplement with individual health coaching sessions with Jane for additional support.

Integrative Health Coaching with Jane Oswari:

If you have pre-diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver and/or just want to lose weight and start your journey to metabolic healing, you can sign up for individual health coaching sessions. Jane will work with your specific health goals to create a roadmap to a sustainable, enjoyable and healthy lifestyle.

Our first session is called Intro to TCR. During this session, we will introduce to you the history and benefits of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction.

Emotional and psychological connection to food
Stress and coping mechanisms
Sleep and Metabolic Health

We also recommend that if you are currently being treated for diabetes and are on medications, we would require monitoring of your blood sugar during this 8-week program. You would need to become a patient at the Chung Institute if you are not already one. Additional office visit costs may apply. To set up an initial consultation with Dr. Oswari, contact the Chung Institute at 856.222.4766.

At the end of the 8 week program, we have additional options for continued support in both a group and individual setting.

*If you are interested in joining our metabolic healing program, contact us. We do require a minimum of 10 individuals in order to start a new group class.

**We also recommend a baseline bloodwork to be done at the beginning of the program, specifically a fasting insulin level reading. If you have questions about the type of bloodwork needed, please ask Dr. Oswari, Dr. Chung, Dr. Brobyn, and/or Dr. Ng.
