“In a recent episode of Founder’s Story, Dr. Jason Shumard, a recognized specialist in functional endocrinology and clinical nutrition, shared his insightful journey and mission against diabetes. Operating the Integrative Wellness Center of San Diego, Dr. Shumard is dedicated to addressing the root causes of illnesses, especially type 2 diabetes, which he describes not merely as a blood sugar issue but as a cellular disease.

The personal battle became more poignant for Dr. Shumard after his mother’s diabetes diagnosis and subsequent deterioration, inspiring him to dive into functional medicine. His approach aims to reverse diabetes by focusing on the underlying problems rather than merely managing symptoms. With a passionate team, Dr. Shumard’s practice is changing lives, helping patients reduce medication, prevent complications, and restore natural balance.

Dr. Shumard’s message is one of hope and action. He emphasizes that a diagnosis is not the end but the beginning of a journey toward recovery, offering customized solutions based on comprehensive testing to tackle the disease at its core, thus enabling patients to regain control of their lives and health.”
