By the winter of 2017 within my lifetime I had been diagnosed with T1D, sleep apnea, psoriasis, rosacea, anxiety hypercalcuria, low Vitamin D and severe osteopenia. A friend recommended I see a Naturopathic Physician, Ryan Attar. I was very intrigued to hear this as not only was I FB friends with Ryan but he was the first person I ever witnessed to get an A1C in the 4’s. What I never knew was that Ryan had had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Bernstein for a few days. I contacted Ryan and made an appointment right away. Ryan’s office was a good 3 hours away from my home but after running in circles for years with ineffective MD’s, the traveling part was of no concern to me. I was shocked to see that my first appointment was over 90 minutes!!?? Normally I meet with an endo for half that or even less but Ryan had an entire team of 4 people asking me questions and getting vitals. They listened to my concerns, focused on these issues and not only did I go back a 2nd time but ended up doing a series of conference calls with them to move my regimen along. Ryan puts a big focus on normalizing blood sugars, diet and exercise. They outlined precise exercises I should be doing for my bone health and even showed me proper form in the office. It was with Ryan, that I for the first time ever and made aware of my leaky gut. Also of importance, Ryan showed me from my test results that foods I ate often were making me extremely sensitive to and causing inflammation. My vitamin D Hydroxy score jump from 30 in December to 78 in February!! Adjusting my diet around the 125+ food sensitivity test, inflammation markers and change in Vitamin D had my rosacea disappear and off psoriasis pharma drugs. Since meeting Ryan, I have not had to go back to a Dermatologist and will never go back. With hypercalcuria, my endo pushed blood pressure meds on me which Ryan strongly suggested increasing potassium. Then there is the anxiety, after years on meds, I am officially off them and have not needed to go back on them. For me its no brainer to meet with Dr Attar who carry out all the same principles and care of Dr Richard Bernstein at a fraction of the cost. He walks the walk and when it comes to his patients personal health be ready as he loves to talk and make sure we have all the information and understanding that we need! I have referred a few people to him in the meantime who have walked away smiling. Do note, Dr Attar never once asked me to endorse him but instead I am just so grateful that I needed a way to express my energy, appreciation and better health to him. Thank you Dr Attar, for improving my health and achieving Dr Bernsteins Diabetic Solutions. Cheers.
Dr. Attar is my go-to for all things diabetes. He is by far the most knowledgeable doctor I know on the subject. I highly recommend him if you or someone you know struggles with diabetes.
Dr. Attar is smart, kind and one who literally practices what he preaches. My son has Type 1 diabetes and we have learned so much about managing this disease from Dr. Attar. From the science to food and fitness advice, the man clearly knows his area of practice, and we are so grateful to know him.
I went to see Dr. Attar to get help with managing my Type 1 diabetes. Specifically, to get help with following Dr. Richard Bernstein’s approach to managing diabetes using a low carb diet. He is VERY knowledgeable with this approach and offered me tips and recommendations that have been really beneficial to me. He spent a lot of time with me and was very thorough.
Dr. Attar has been a godsend! I started to see him in 2020 for insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and weight issues. He has helped me immensely!! Not only is he an expert in his field, he is very compassionate. He has been able to address my metabolic imbalances in a way in which I am no longer pre-diabetic. I highly recommend him particularly if you are feeling stuck in your current situation.
After my diagnosis I began to look online for information about diabetes. Then I found Dr.Attar from a blog he published in regard to some time he spent with Dr.Bernstein. Just a few conversations with him has taught me more about diabetes than any of the previous endocrinologists I have spoken to. As a type 1 himself, he truly understand the common complications that accompanies diabetes and more importantly, how to mitigate them. I highly recommend this clinic if you are diabetic of any type.
