Steve Parker, M.D.
I have been practicing Internal Medicine since 1981, when I graduated from medical school at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Internal Medicine involves the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of adults.
Since 2003, I have been a member of the clinical faculty at Midwestern University, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. For the first 17 years of my career, I was an office-based primary care physician. I continue to practice medicine full-time, for the last eight years as a hospitalist in the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area. Hospitalists diagnose and treat patients in the hospital setting only.
In a typical day, I might see heart attacks, strokes, out-of-control diabetes (both types 1 and 2), pneumonia, skin infections, broken hips, chest or abdominal pain, severe high blood pressure, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections.
In 2008, my first book, The Advanced Mediterranean Diet: Lose Weight, Feel Better, Live Longer, was published by Vanguard Press. The book has a chapter on adaptation of the AdvancedMediterranean Diet for people with type 2 diabetes, but it is not a comprehensive approach to nutritional issues affecting people with diabetes.
I am absolutely convinced that better diet and lifestyle choices can help individuals live longer, healthier lives.

I was wondering if you would ever consider making a diet plan that would assist people with celiac disease but combine the mediterranean diet somehow?
Hi, Nicole.
That’s not on my radar screen yet. It could certainly be done, at least at first blush.
