If you nodded at three or more, your body is asking a deeper question.
You were told you are borderline, just watch it.
A fifteen-minute visit rarely has room to look at the whole metabolic picture. So early warning signs get watched rather than addressed, and the chance to change the path goes unused.
We will not wait for the diagnosis to act.
Here is where we part ways with conventional care. Early metabolic changes are often watched until they cross a line into diagnosis, then met with a prescription. Watching has its place. But the years before a diagnosis are the most changeable, and using them to address insulin resistance directly is where the real opportunity lives.
We would rather do the harder, more honest work. We find what is driving your metabolic numbers and we address that, alongside your primary care.
If medication still has a place in your care, that should be your informed choice, made with the full picture in front of you, and paired with the work that addresses the cause.
Metabolic risk runs in a loop. We map the whole circle.
Each driver pushes the next. That is why treating one in isolation rarely holds, and why mapping the full cycle changes everything.
When we look at your metabolic health, we read the whole picture rather than a single number, and connect each driver back to what you're experiencing:
Your metabolic care plan: four steps, built around your body
Fasting insulin, A1c, a full lipid and inflammation panel, and blood pressure, a deeper look than a yearly recheck.
We map your results onto the loop so you finally see how the numbers connect.
Nutrition, movement, targeted support, and stress and sleep work, sequenced to your labs, not a template.
We track your numbers over time alongside your primary care, so progress holds and your markers keep improving.
Tools we reach for with metabolic health
My A1c came down out of the prediabetes range, and for once I feel in control of where this is heading.
Metabolic health, answered plainly
Can functional medicine help insulin resistance and prediabetes?
Yes. We address insulin resistance by working on what drives it, blood sugar, weight, and inflammation, alongside your primary care. Many people see their markers improve as the root causes are addressed.
Do you replace my regular doctor for diabetes or blood pressure?
We work alongside your primary and specialty care. Our focus is the root-cause and lifestyle side that addresses why your numbers are rising.
What testing do you run for metabolic health?
We go beyond a basic panel, with fasting insulin, A1c, a full lipid and inflammation panel, and blood pressure, so the plan targets your specific root causes.
I was told I am borderline. Why act now?
The years before a diagnosis are the most changeable. Addressing insulin resistance early is the best chance to keep your numbers from crossing the line.
Can these changes really move my numbers?
Often, yes. Nutrition, movement, sleep, and targeted support can meaningfully improve blood sugar, weight, and other markers over time. We track it with you.
Will I have to go on medication?
That is a decision you make with your doctors. We focus on the root-cause work, and where medication fits, we pair it with the changes that address the cause.
Do you offer virtual metabolic care or only in person in Atlanta?
Both. See Dr. Nina Ross in person at our Atlanta clinic, or virtually anywhere in Georgia. Your $99 Symptom Consultation can be booked either way.
