Preventive and internal medicine
Being board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine means I can manage weight in depth while also treating the health conditions that often come with it. Your plan can address not only weight, but also concerns like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other metabolic conditions.
Is this care right for me?
A recent lab result showed prediabetes or high cholesterol.
Your blood pressure has started to climb.
Diabetes or heart disease runs in your family.
You want to address early risk before it progresses.
You have a primary-care clinician and want focused metabolic care.
Does Ardeur replace my primary-care doctor?
No. Ardeur focuses on weight, metabolic health, hormonal transitions, and prevention. Keep your primary-care clinician for routine care, unrelated concerns, and complex conditions.
Ardeur Health focuses on weight, metabolic health, hormonal transitions, and prevention. We can evaluate and manage common related conditions such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol when they are part of your individualized care plan. Ardeur does not replace comprehensive primary care, urgent care, emergency care, obstetric care, or specialty care for complex medical conditions.
Can prediabetes be reversed?
Often, yes. Many people bring blood sugar back to a normal range with lifestyle changes, weight loss, and sometimes medication.
In the Diabetes Prevention Program study, structured lifestyle change lowered the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% over about three years. We track your labs to measure progress.
How are blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin resistance related?
They often occur together. Insulin resistance can raise blood pressure and triglycerides and lower HDL cholesterol, which together raise heart disease risk.
That's why we treat them as one picture, alongside weight, sleep, and activity, rather than as separate problems.
