Dietary Therapy is the single most important aspect of all healing systems.

A discussion of what foods to eat and which foods to avoid can greatly accelerate vitality. There is no one diet that fits all.

My love for Oriental Medicine grew from the early macrobiotic teachings of Micho & Avaline Kushi who operated the first macrobiotic restaurant at the San Diego East-West Center, where I taught classes for macrobiotic theory, nutrition, and seasonal cooking preparation. It was through a direct and personal experience I discovered the ultimate value of a low-carb diet.

How food transforms with digestion and then assimilated in the body as nourishment, is unique to each individual’s constitution, medical history, and goals and is integral to a complete treatment plan.

Simply put, diet can have a profound effect on well-being, sometimes it’s what you eliminate, not what you add, that makes all the difference.

Parks

After many years of seeing “sick” patients with correspondingly “sick eyes”, Dr. Parks made a decision to earnestly and resolutely determine the primary physical causes for many of the eye conditions we see on a daily basis.

Most conventional systemic and ocular medical therapies merely manage the resulting symptoms rather than determining and addressing root causes.

Prevention of these problems by whole-person wellness is essential.

Tickheir

I am a medical doctor based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am a member of a global network of healthcare professionals who use the LCHF diet to treat patients struggling with obesity, poor metabolic health, diabetes, and hypertension.

By using my knowledge and experience with the LCHF intervention, I have been able to provide my patients with a personalized treatment plan that has enabled them to lose excess weight and live free of medication, allowing them to reclaim their vitality and enhance their quality of life.

For the past few years, I have followed the LCHF diet myself and have seen incredible results — including reversing my own pre-diabetic state. I was also successful in winning my life-long battle with obesity, which I had struggled with since childhood.

Walker

My name is Logan Walker and I am a nurse practitioner (APRN) at CHI Endocrinology in Omaha, Nebraska. I have been a nurse since June 2019 and recently became a nurse practitioner in May 2022. Prior to becoming an APRN, I worked in the same clinic as a registered nurse doing clinic nurse duties as well as diabetes education. Once I graduated from APRN school, I transitioned into my new role as an APRN in the same clinic. I have a passion for metabolic health and overall general endocrinology conditions including the thyroid/parathyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands, plus all the other stuff such as osteoporosis and PCOS.

I see both adult and pediatric patients and practice out of 4 different clinics in the Omaha metro area.

I highly promote and I, myself, follow a low carbohydrate, high protein (LCHP) lifestyle. I have personally lost 50 pounds by changing to this lifestyle and have had great successes with patients with improving body composition and metabolic health/markers in the body, both patients with and without diabetes. We are what we eat and amazing things happen when you remove the root cause of all these issues.
