Diabetes Naturopathy

If you have diabetes, your blood sugar levels are likely to be constantly on your mind. Maintaining healthy levels is essential to prevent or delay long-term, serious health conditions. Whether you have type 1 diabetes where your body is unable to make insulin or type 2 diabetes where your body cannot use the insulin it does produce effectively, life can certainly feel like a balancing act.

When your blood sugar levels are unbalanced, both the mind and body are affected. Your immune system, circulatory system and nervous system are all affected so it’s important to find a naturopathy treatment for diabetes that enables you to stay in control. Naturopath therapy will work to target all areas of your health, well-being and lifestyle to provide a well-rounded treatment plan that will work to restore your blood sugar to healthy levels.

Can Diabetes Go Into Remission Through Naturopathy?

Naturopathy focuses on the mind, body and spirit as a whole. No matter your condition, naturopaths work to create a treatment plan that incorporates your entire lifestyle in order to target the issue at the root. Contrary to some beliefs in conventional medicine, naturopaths aim to restore balance within the body, enabling it to heal itself. As a result, naturopaths believe that those who suffer from type 2 diabetes can indeed go into remission with the right treatment plan.

Can You Reverse Diabetes Naturally?

Naturopathic medicine for diabetes involves caring for the whole person to treat and prevent disease and empower patients to achieve optimal health. Their treatment methods stretch beyond conventional medicine, delving into health and lifestyle changes that individuals can make to improve the blood sugar levels in their body.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when there are defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. In general, insulin production gradually decreases until it eventually reaches a stage where the body is no longer able to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Naturopaths work to prevent the decrease in insulin production and reverse the effects with their treatment before the damage is irreversible.

A natural treatment form, naturopathic therapy such as nutrition management and increased exercise has been proven to reduce haemoglobin A1c levels. If treatment begins early enough, the diabetes diagnosis can be reversed, these levels returned to within a normal range and the need for medication and ongoing treatment reduced.

What is the Best Natural Remedy for Diabetics?

When it comes to natural remedies for diabetics, there isn’t a one size fits all approach or single best remedy. Naturopaths utilise a number of remedies in order to create a treatment plan that works best for you. These herbal medicine could include:

Bean pod

A vegetable that is used commonly across the globe. It contains particular hormones that can stimulate the production of insulin and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Milk thistle

A popular herb within naturopathic therapy, milk thistle is rich in antioxidants. Regular intake has been linked to lower blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes.

Fenugreek

Made up of many healthy ingredients, fenugreek also contains a large amount of fibre. This fibre helps to reduce carbohydrate absorption in the body and consequently lowers blood sugar levels after a meal.

What Helps Diabetes Naturally Without Medication?

Type 2 diabetes is hugely linked to lifestyle and is entirely preventable. So it’s never too late to make positive changes and work to get your blood sugar levels back into the normal range. Whilst medication can help you to manage symptoms and reduce blood sugar levels, there are many naturopathy medicines for diabetes available that can help without the need for traditional medication.

Plant-based herbal therapies have been proven to have anti-diabetic properties such as aloe vera, cinnamon, fenugreek, ginger, okra and more. But it’s essential to seek the advice and guidance of a professional before incorporating such supplements into your diet. A naturopath has the knowledge, expertise and experience in this area, including supplements for diabetes, and will be able to provide a safe and sustainable treatment plan that doesn’t include medication through the use of a naturopathy diet plan.

How Can You Control Diabetes With Naturopathy Treatment?

Naturopathy treatments for diabetes usually include:

Increased exercise

If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, you’ve likely heard the recommendation of exercising moderately five times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes in each session. When you are active, your cells become more sensitive to insulin, enabling it to work better. And as a result, exercise immediately lowers your blood sugar levels. A naturopath will work with you to create an exercise plan that is achievable to maximise results and minimise the risk of injury.

Balanced nutrition

It’s no secret that diabetes is heavily linked to nutrition. So when it comes to natural remedies for diabetes, it’s essential to start with diet. A naturopath will incorporate nutrition into their treatment plan in order to manage blood sugar levels and prevent them from rising. A naturopath may ask you to keep a food record to identify where changes need to be made. They’ll create a nutrition plan enabling you to avoid foods that increase blood sugar levels and eat more foods that lower them. Naturopaths combine herbal and traditional medicine with conventional nutritional advice to create optimal results that cater to your individual needs.

Lifestyle changes

Naturopaths have the knowledge and expertise to delve into all areas of your life, including other lifestyle changes in your treatment plan. These include stress levels, relationships, quality of sleep and much more. Their treatment methods include the mind, body and spirit – by creating positivity and balance in other areas of your life, your body will be in its optimum state for healing.

"I wanted to share some incredible feedback regarding the supplements I’ve been taking. Since starting your protocol, I have noticed a significant shift in my hormonal health and overall well-being. For the first time, my period pain has almost completely disappeared. Instead of the intense pain I used to experience, I now only have very mild cramps. I no longer suffer from the typical pre-period symptoms like acne, heavy bloating, or bruising, which used to be a regular struggle for me. Most importantly, my period has improved from lasting only 2 days to a healthy 3 days, and my mood has remained stable and positive throughout my cycle. I truly feel that my hormones are finally balanced and my body is in a much better place. Thank you for these life-changing results!"

Marisa’s help with my anxiety and sleep postpartum has been truly life changing. Her approach, patience and understanding made me feel completely comfortable and I started to notice a difference way quicker than expected. My sleep was almost immediately improved - I was shocked. Her help quite literally has allowed me to enjoy my life again! Highly recommend!

I was dealing with terrible pain in my chest, back, and upper stomach. I saw multiple doctors and tried everything they suggested, but nothing helped. Then I reached out to Marisa and I’ve never looked back. She was incredibly accommodating and kind. She truly listened and gave me exactly what I needed, starting with a one-week plan and then reviewing my diet. After just a week on the natural remedies she recommended, the pain has completely subsided, and it feels like I have my life back. Could not recommend her services and expertise enough!

I have been working with Marisa for nearly 6 months now. She has completely changed my life and given me aspects back that I never thought possible. I went from sleeping a broken 4 hours a night to easily getting 6-8 hours. Falling asleep faster and staying asleep. She has also helped me with anxiety and hormone imbalance, this has also been completely life changing. I found Marisa incredibly easy to work with, she is kind, compassionate, understanding and non judgemental which was so important to me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will always be eternally grateful.

After making a lot of changes on my own—improving my diet, sleep, and lifestyle—I still found myself feeling constantly tired, brain fog and low in energy. I booked an appointment with Marisa, and I’m so glad I did. She listened carefully, acknowledged everything I’d already done, and recommended just a couple of targeted supplements. Within days, I noticed a real difference in my energy and overall sense of balance. It wasn’t overwhelming or complicated, just smart, personalised support that actually worked (much faster than expected😊). I really appreciated her grounded, respectful approach. I couldn't be happier with all that new energy I've got back!!!!!

Marisa helped me greatly with my transition through perimenopause to being post-menopausal. Marisa is an excellent naturopath - she truly listens to and understands her clients. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and provides fully tailored advice for her clients. I switched Naturopaths based on Marisa’s expertise in Women’s health and am glad I did. I highly recommend Marisa as a great Naturopath and especially for any women’s health concerns.

Having suffered headaches and migraines constantly and thinking that was the norm, I thought medication would be the only way to minimise the pain. With Marisa’s help and in a short span of time, I no longer have tension, cluster headaches or migraines with auras. A game changer! The best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you!!

I was struggling with my issue of prolonged bleeding due to a hormonal imbalance for a months before I started consulting with Marisa. I have now been consulting with Marisa for just over 3 and have seen incredible improvements to my issue through the amazing support of Marisa and the remedies she has recommended/provided. I highly recommend Marisa as my health and wellbeing overall has improved significantly in such a small amount of time.

Marisa is an expert in her field and has been instrumental in helping me manage my Gastritis. She has provided me with valuable insights into the ingredients used in my tincture and powder, and how they can help improve the health of my stomach lining. Her knowledge and expertise have been invaluable, and I feel more confident in managing my condition. I would highly recommend Marisa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring naturopath.
