cancer - is balanced insulin levels. The Blood Sugar Solution

, addresses the global epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular
and other related diseases. His revolutionary "secret" to
achieving UltraWellness? Dr. Hyman is the world's leading pioneer and
practitioner of a ground-breaking and emerging approach to medicine that
treats our system, not our symptoms. This new health paradigm is a
systems-based, patient-centered method (called Functional Medicine) to
preventing and treating disease and promoting health that works on two
intertwined platforms: identifying and addressing the underlying causes
of disease instead of just managing and masking symptoms and employing
emerging trends in science and medicine, and integrative medicine. Dr.
Hyman teaches that there are seven keys to achieving UltraWellness,
centering on Optimizing Nutrition, Cooling Off Inflammation, Balancing

UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, where he directs a team of
physicians, nutritionists and nurses who utilize this comprehensive,
life-changing approach to health, involving diet and lifestyle
