WELCOME TO
MEtabolic Restoration

We are Metabolic Restorations in Las Vegas, NV. Our extensive training, unique approach, and highly specialized therapies give our diabetic patients a huge advantage in re-establishing their active and normal lives.

 Our PIR treatment uses a technology with 5 patents. Metabolic Restoration is the ONLY clinic in the Las Vegas Valley that utilizes this technology. Our clinic staff has received extensive training in Houston TX for this treatment protocol. Houston’s training clinic has been utilizing this protocol for 9 years and has improved the lives of patients with diabetes, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis. In additional professional athletes are utilizing this technology to enhance athletic performance.   Using the highest quality technology is just one piece of the solution to being free of diabetic symptoms.

DIABETES TREATMENT, REIMAGINED

Restore, Repair, and Regenerate.

Finally, a groundbreaking approach designed to address the primary cause of metabolic disorders instead of only suppressing symptoms.

We use insulin as a hormone rather than a drug.

It’s FDA Cleared AND Covered by Most Major Insurance Carriers.

Manage Your Diabetes in a NEW way.

We utilize a revolutionary, multi-patented Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) system that provides individualized patient care where insulin is administered as a hormone rather than a drug. By using insulin in a manner that bio-mimics normal glucose metabolism, we can help you regulate your body once again!

Results that makes a difference.

We can help…

You Don’t Have to Suffer Anymore!

Have you accepted the fact that there is nothing that can be done about your diabetes symptoms?

Are you tired of searching for so-called “solutions” that never really seem to help?

Is there anything more annoying and life-disrupting than constant reminders of your diabetes flaring up? Are you always tired, in pain, and struggling just to get through the day?

Had enough of the constant aching and throbbing pain, burning and tingling, prickling pain, the pill popping, and the having to say “no” to doing the things you love?

We get it.

We are so glad that you found us!

Patients come to us when they are frustrated with the options their doctors have given them and they are searching for something better.  By the time people find us they think that they have tried “everything” to manage their diabetes symptoms.

Just wait until you see what we can offer.

We are here to give you hope.  There is consistent evidence that Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) can reverse the diabetes-associated complications of neuropathy, diabetic ulcers, nephropathy, and retinopathy, and it lowers HbA1c. 

Many of our treatments may be covered by Medicare & Major Insurance carriers, so there may be little to no out-of-pocket cost for you.

It’s time to stop covering up your symptoms and get to the root cause.

We are confident that we can help reduce your diabetes symptoms, burning and scorching pain, and in some instances completely eliminate it.

It’s what we do.

“I have so much more energy!  I haven’t seen my podiatrist in several months because I feel so well.  I have lost 71 lbs!”
 
“The most important benefit is that I am alive here today.  These treatments have given me a 2nd life!”
 

Benefits of Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR)

The Root Cause of Diabetic Complications

Diabetes is a growing global problem that is currently on the rise. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic condition that results from aberrant B-cell function coupled with progressive insulin resistance. The majority of Type 2 diabetic patients develop diabetic neuropathy, which can lead to devastating complications (i.e., infection, ulceration, osteomyelitis, & amputation). The proinflammatory state of diabetes, along with prolonged hyperglycemia, damages peripheral nerves (most common in the lower extremities).

Additionally, compromised wound healing exacerbates the risk when skin breakdown occurs in the diabetic population. To overcome these risks for T2D, physiologic insulin resensitization (PIR) has been used as a novel protocol to treat patients with severe neuropathy symptoms. In our case study, we present two patients who initially experienced a loss of sensation in their extremities and decreased wound healing. Using PIR treatment, we demonstrate that both patients experienced neuropathy reversal and improved wound healing.

Diabetes and the associated complications affect over 34 million Americans, and an additional 88 million Americans are prediabetic. In 2019, diabetes caused $476 billion in health care expenditures, which represented 10% of the total medical costs for adults in America. Traditional treatment has primarily focused on changes in lifestyle and the management of symptoms; neither approach addresses the root cause of diabetes, metabolic failure.

 

Simple In-Office Treatment 1 X per week

A patient’s unique care plan typically includes an “Induction Phase” of weekly infusions, which is then reduced in frequency as improvements are realized for approximately 90 days.

Next, the “Maintenance Phase” finds the balance between developing an optimized metabolism and maximizing the time between treatments. Visits typically start with three hours, and patients are free to move around during the process (read, work, watch TV, etc.). As patients improve, the time between visits is extended while visit duration is reduced. A two to three-hour visit about every four to six weeks is common.

We make it an easy and relaxing experience.

  • 2-3 Hour IV Infusion Therapy
  • Comfortable Recliner Chairs
  • Blankets and Diabetic Appropriate Snacks
  • TV Screen to Watch Favorite Show or Movie
  • Socialize with New Friends

Published Articles and Studies about Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR)

There are a number of studies on the benefits of Physiologic Insulin Resensitization that highlight the efficacy of the treatment.  The development of physiologic insulin resensitization (PIR) uses precision dosing patterns of insulin that is consistent with normal hormone secretion and closely resembles the body’s natural signaling pathway.

As the patient’s insulin resistance improves, healthcare providers can titrate other medications to optimize treatment regimens further. PIR permits the ability to lower the dosing of subcutaneous insulin and other diabetic medications.

  • Reduce insulin resistance. 
  • Increase the amount of blood sugar entering the cell.
  • Increases the conversion of sugar into energy.

Is this treatment covered by insurance?

1st Step: Our healthcare provider will work with you to determine whether Physiologic Insulin Resensitatization (PIR) may be right for you. They will be able to determine medical necessity and whether you qualify for treatment.

Next, we can help you to see if it is covered by your insurance plan.

This treatment is typically covered by most insurance plans. Benefits will be checked and confirmation of coverage will be done before any treatment begins.
