Welcome

At the Diabetes and Endocrine Institute, health and lifestyle merge.  The institute takes a comprehensive approach to treating overall health, diabetes, and body metabolism in order to help patients achieve a “reset” to live a healthy life.

Dr. Woo

Dr. Woo’s unique credentials allow him to help patients live their best life, not only through traditional medicine, but also through tested and established lifestyle practices.  Dr. Woo works with patients to enable them to realize their greatest well being. 

Not only is Dr. Woo an expert and board certified in endocrinology, he is credentialed by the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.  He is also one of a few physicians in Mississippi who is a Certified Diabetes Educator, a health care professional who is trained in teaching people with diabetes how to manage their disease better.

• The American Board of Lifestyle Medicine has granted Dr. Woo the title of Diplomat and Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician based on education, implementation and certification in lifestyle medicine.
• The American Board of Obesity Medicine has granted Dr. Woo the title of Diplomat.
• The Diabetes and Endocrine Institute has been recognized by the ADA as an Educational Center for the last 10 years consecutively.
• Dr. Woo personally received an award as a nationwide finalist for Diabetes Educator of the Year at the National American Association of Diabetic Educators meeting in August 2010, recognizing his commitment, efforts, and passion in helping his patients with diabetes lead healthier lives.

Diabetes is not just an individual’s condition to manage; it has proven to be a disease of entire families. The philosophies of our programs can be utilized by individuals who don’t necessarily have the condition. Our clinic encourages everyone to be “metabolically fit”. Metabolic fitness means maintaining leveled blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar across the board for extended periods of time.

Dr. Wayne Woo and his wife, Pat Woo, help patients understand how healthy decisions go hand in hand with medical expertise when it comes to treating diseases.  The clinic’s unique approach to treatment encourages patients to make changes in their meal plans, their attitude, and their expectations. Combined with Dr. Woo’s solid medical expertise, people with diabetes in Mississippi are offered “hope, healing, and health.”

Classes

• These classes offer health tips and educate those with diabetes on the different ways to make positive lifestyle changes to manage their diabetes the best way possible. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, classes have been temporarily suspended and we will restart the sessions when it is safe to do so. Please check back for updates!

Blue zones are regions in the world where people have lived longer than average. There are currently five blue zones in the world: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Costa Rica; Icaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, United States. Life expectancy in the United States is 78.2 years. One of the common lifestyle habits is to "move."

I've been visiting my 94-year-old mother in San Francisco. She walks close to 20+ blocks to her neighborhood stores everyday.
San Francisco is very hilly and she has to walk up a steep incline before heading home. She would often say to me "I'm getting so old; I'm so short of breath walking up these inclines." I would reply, "Mom, you are 94. Many people can't even walk up this incline, let alone walk up this incline with a backpack full of groceries!"

I will be traveling to Okinawa this year to research the blue zone. Lifestyle medicine should be the foundation of how we practice medicine. Let my mom's story inspire you!
