Treating Diabetes
Deborah Gordon, M.D. & Nancy Herrick, PA, DH (hon)

Obesity is the biggest health crisis facing our modern population and contributes to raise the risk of every other highly ranked medical problem. We will review the science to this point and reveal the flaws in the current official wisdom and approach to obesity, and offer an effective and science-based alternative which includes many of the healthy foods enjoyed by Weston Price followers. We will also have time to explore some of the questions and controversies in current weight loss conversations including: hormones and their relevance, the role of exercise, the truth about cholesterol and heart disease, non-caloric sweeteners, ketosis vs. ketoacidosis, supplements, and more. Actual meal plans and special needs for people with food allergies or other restrictions will round out the presentation.

Deborah Gordon, MD
I chose a career in medicine because I like working with people and I believe in the body's ability to be healthy. My medical training (University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine and the Family Practice Residency at Santa Rosa) was inspirational for its devotion to the sharing of human experience but disappointing for its miniscule glimpse into the makings of health. After graduation, my studies of nutrition, homeopathy and the existing medical research into lifestyle questions has enabled me to fashion an integrative medical partnership with my patients.

In both office-based and hospital care, from migrant and rural health clinics to emergency departments and private practice, I have integrated conventional medicine, alternative care, classical homeopathy and nutritional and lifestyle education. I like to focus on the partnership forged between the patient and myself. I start with education and agreement on sharing responsibility for health. We agree that a key element to good health is the patient taking charge of his or her own health care. A good health plan always starts with wise and informed food choices incorporating local and sustainably raised foods, prepared with wisdom and enjoyed for flavor and health.

Outside of these grand passions, I help direct the Siskiyou Challenge, an Oregon-based annual sports event that raises money to educate children about life on the farm, raise chickens and ducks in my backyard, and row on a beautiful lake just outside my hometown of Ashland, Oregon.
