General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis. In rheumatoid arthritis, your body's immune system attacks joints and inflames the synovium, causing swelling, redness and pain.
Medical Weight Loss
Genetics and family history. Having family members with diabetes is a major risk factor. The American Diabetes Association recommends that anyone with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes -- a mother, father, sister, or brother -- should get screened for diabetes if they have any of these classic symptoms: excessive thirst leading to frequent urination, and weight loss in spite of increased appetite. A simple blood test can diagnose type1 diabetes.
High Cholesterol
Constipation
Electrocardiogram
I personally recommend a health history and physical exam before engaging in an exercise program. Additionally, a stress EKG is advised for people over 35 with diabetes because of the increased risk of heart problems this disease brings with it.

Gynecology
Many of my women patients come to me as a last resort. TheyÃ¢Â€Â™ve seen their family doctor, been to an Internal Med specialistÃ¢Â€Â¦ many have even gone to several OB-GYN practitioners.
Female Infertility
Pregnancy

Internal Medicine
After medical school in Albany New York, where I was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the National Medical Honor Society, I did specialty training in Internal Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and sub-specialty training in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri -Â€Â“ eventually being Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism.
Colon Cancer
Cancer Preventative - In addition, fish oil has also been linked with protecting the body from many cancers. Breast, ovarian, stomach and colon cancer all seem to be reduced in those who take adequate amounts of omega 3 fatty acids...
Prostate Cancer

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Taking fish oil can help to boost your childÃ¢Â€Â™s intelligence Ã¢Â€Â“ while he or she is still in the womb! If youÃ¢Â€Â™re pregnant, or hope to be, fish oil supplements (with your doctorÃ¢Â€Â™s advice) can go a long way in making sure youÃ¢Â€Â™re giving your child all the advantages you possible can.. including reduced behavior problems such as ADD and ADHD.
Stress Management
ItÃ¢Â€Â™s a known scientific fact: Distress (negative stress: not all stress is negative) can raise blood sugar faster and higher than wolfing down a pint of ice cream. This is due to the Ã¢Â€Âœfight or flightÃ¢Â€Â response inborn in almost every human being.
Depression
Mental Health
Insomnia
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Almost all (95-99%) daily diabetes care is self-care. One of the most important things a person with diabetes can do is learn about this disease and how to properly manage their blood glucose levels.
Endocrinology
During that time, in addition to having over 25 scientific publications, I had been elected to be a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, The American College of Endocrinology, The Scientific Advisory Board of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry, Who's Who in Frontier Science and Technology, Who's Who in Science and Engineering... to name but a few.
Hypothyroidism
All the above symptoms, the lethargy, the lack of sex drive, the weight gain, the depressionÃ¢Â€Â¦ the host of debilitating conditions, all of them can stem from an under active thyroid, or hypothyroidism in medical talk.
Thyroid
Undiagnosed and untreated thyroid disease can be a cause for infertility or recurrent miscarriages. You need to know that in the past 30 years, I have seen many women with mild hypothyroidism who tested in the "normal" range become pregnant once low dose thyroid hormone was started.

Chemotherapy
Magnesium deficiency is a common side effect of taking many over the counter and prescribed medications, including diuretics, proton pump inhibitors (for reflux), some antibiotics, and chemotherapy Ã¢Â€Â“ just to name a few. People with diabetes are frequently deficient in magnesium.
Radiation Therapy
When menopause starts abruptly due to surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, your symptoms can be much more severe than usual. Preexisting conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, or irritability can get worse during the time leading up to menopause.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Healthy, Supple Skin - Your skin also greatly benefits by using fish oil, because the omega 3 fatty acids help to repair damage caused by the sun and other environmental factors. Instead of early signs of skin wrinkling, taking fish oil can help add back moisture and firmness to your skin, virtually erasing years of neglect off your face. And, unlike Botox, the effects of fish oil are lasting, and arenÃ¢Â€Â™t localized to only the injection siteÃ¢Â€Â¦

Skin Cancer
Getting enough vitamin D is just as important to your bone health as getting adequate amounts of calcium. Unfortunately, few people get adequate amounts of vitamin D from sunlight. It seems the paranoia spread about the Ã¢Â€Âœdangers of sunlightÃ¢Â€Â has been quite effective in making people think getting a tan is tantamount to inviting skin cancer into your life.
Acne Treatment
Eczema
Did You KnowÃ¢Â€Â¦ breastfed children are less likely to be fat, or develop type 2 diabetes, eczema, and certain cancers later on in life? In fact, women who breastfeed are less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes themselves!
