The Made to Thrive Show

Glucose Control, Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and New Functional Medicine Assessments and Treatments. Dr Leland Stilman MD

Steve Stavs Season 1 Episode 227

It’s been 3 years since he was last on the show, so it was time to check in with integrative medicine specialist and member of my scientific advisory board Dr Leland Stillman. This is Dr Leland’s third appearance on the show, in which we discussed and debated the experiences we are seeing in our functional medicine clientele. What’s working, what’s not and what diagnostic tests we are finding are uncovering the most valuable and actionable data points.

Dr. Leland Stillman is a concierge integrated medical doctor in Naples, Florida aiming to help individuals reach their fullest potential by focusing on curing rather than merely treating diseases. He believes that nature itself is the best healer, even in cases deemed incurable by conventional standards. 

His educational journey through Connecticut College and the University of Virginia, coupled with a residency at Maine Medical Center, enriched his understanding and approach to achieving optimal health. Dr. Stillman’s practice involves a holistic strategy that combines the most advanced scientific diagnostics and ancient healing practices tailored to individual needs, teaching clients to live healthier lives rather than depend solely on medical treatment.

Join us as we explore:

  • Glucose management, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes - the metabolic health pillars.
  • Heavy metal toxicity, hair mineral analysis, how minerals interrelate and metal toxicity’s relationships to metabolic health.
  • Iron, ferritin, copper, zinc, magnesium - a mineral rundown.
  • Is donating blood right for you? 
  • Sweating and sunlight - news flash, you aren’t getting enough!
  • Eating enough protein? Probably not! And the test that will diagnose that.
  • Dr Stillman's clinical experience with omega 3s and binders.
