What My Patients are Saying...

My diabetic journey began when I got pregnant with my daughter and developed Gestational Diabetes 21 years ago. I have been struggling with diabetes since then. I saw several endocrinologists but gave up on seeing doctors because they all followed the same patterns. I stopped taking the medications because I felt sick all the time. My first appointment with Dr. Rowden lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes! I was blown away by her genuine interest in my struggles with diabetes and for the first time, I had hope that I could get my diabetes under control. I have never felt better and never want to go back to where I was even 3 months ago. I have lost weight and been able to keep it off, my sugar levels have dropped to “normal” ranges.
It’s been a year and half now that I’ve been completely off my asthma medications. Before meeting you I thought I would be on these medications for the rest of my life. I hated that thought and thanks to you I saw that wellness through the lens of healthy living can be my life and my families life going forward as opposed to sick care. So thank you so much for opening my eyes to a different view!

Areas of Expertise

In Functional Medicine we look at the lungs differently. We look at the reasons for the inflammation in the lungs, but we also look at the lungs as a detoxing organ. What are you detoxing? What is causing the inflammation? Get at those things and balance can be restored.

Headaches are a factor of a few things:
1. Deficiency
2. Toxicity
3. Triggers
The most common deficiencies are B12, B2, and or Magnesium. It is typically more complicated than that…and the entire picture needs addressing.

If approached with a thorough evaluation of all the contributing factors, Integrative Medicine has a good success rate in improving quality of life.

Dr. Andrew Weil, “8 Weeks to Optimal Health” is a good place to learn, but often people need a doctor to walk them through their medication changes and their unique story.

There are many reasons the GI tract gets out of balance, but with proper testing it can often be gently nudged back to vitality with diet and special supplements.

Dr. Davis, Dr. Pearlmutter and Dr. Gundry have good resources.

The endocrine system is responsive to our lifestyle, and it can often be treated by lifestyle changes. Dr. Amy Myers book, The Autoimmune Solution is a great start. You may be motivated by her own personal thyroid story.

A unique way to understand the skin is as a detoxing organ. Therefore, diet, GI health, and proper liver function are the Functional Medicine cornerstones for approaching eczema. Additionally there are natural and homeopathic tools that support the skin to heal.

Unfortunately this carbohydrate and microbiome problem is all too common. Many resources are available to approach this, but it requires true commitment to change. Dr. Fuhrman, “The End to Diabetes” and Dr. Hyman, “The Blood Sugar Solution” are great resources. Dr. Terry Wahl’s protocol and cookbook are also wonderful. If you have a complicated medical history, you should seek a provider’s help to manage your medications and underlying conditions.

Apply for Concierge Care with Dr. Rowden

I provide Direct Primary Care to individuals and entire families. I limit the number of patients in my practice because I feel that it is important to give patients my full attention in non-rushed appointments.

As a solo practitioner, I am the only physician that my patients see during their appointments. When patients call my office after hours for an emergency, they will speak directly with me. This allows me to personally know all of my patients and be familiar with their individual health needs. This also helps to limit the waiting time of patients.
