Advanced Institute for Diabetes & Endocrinology - Dr. Lindsey VanDyke

You're not aging faster than everyone else.
Your insulin might just be lying to you.
I see this all the time in my 20-something patients:
That crash after lunch? Not normal.
That brain fog by 2pm? Not "just stress."
That weight that won't budge? Not a willpower problem.
It's your metabolism sending up a flare — and most doctors aren't going to catch it in a 15-minute appointment.

Here's what I want you to know: in your 20s, this is one of the most reversible things I treat. But only if someone actually takes the time to look for it.
I'm Dr. Lindsey Van D**e — board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist. I give you a full 60 minutes, not a rushed 15. And I can see you within 2 weeks, not 6 months.

"Do you take Medicare?" I get this question all the time, so let me clear it up.
We're a direct care practice, which means most patients contract with us directly for consultations. But if you have traditional Texas Medicare, yes, we can see you under your insurance.
And here's the part most people don't know: getting into endocrinology on Medicare is notoriously slow. With us? You get in fast.
We also help our Medicare patients take full advantage of benefits most practices never even mention, like remote patient monitoring and chronic care management through our app, DIA Direct.
That means I'm keeping an eye on your diabetes and related conditions between visits, so we're not scrambling to fix an A1C that went through the roof because nobody was watching.
If you or a loved one has Texas Medicare and needs an endocrinologist, we're here.

The American medical system is tough. Tough as a patient to navigate, tough as a physician to manage. So when we get feedback like this, it makes the long hours, endless prior authorizations, and relentless formulary changes worth it.

A patient deserves to tell their story.
Our job is to hear it, educate, empower and find solutions.
I have the best team in the business--this is what we were made for.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Senseonics!

The company behind the Eversense implantable CGM is one step closer to releasing a next-gen sensor that removes the requirement for an external transmitter.

Here's what your "free" insurance visit actually costs:
💸 Monthly premiums
💸 Co-pays & deductibles
💸 Co-insurance surprises
💸 And maybe 5–15 minutes with your doctor
Now ask yourself — did you leave that appointment feeling empowered? Did you actually understand your diagnosis? Did anyone take the time to explain why it's happening and how to fix it?
At AIDENDO, the magic isn't a secret. It's time.
⏳ Time to answer every question
⏳ Time to dig into the root cause
⏳ Time to build a real plan — together
Yes, direct care has an upfront cost. But it's an investment in YOUR future — in a stable A1C, a managed thyroid, stronger bones, and actually living your best life.
You deserve more than 5 minutes and a copay. 🤍

This is what a REAL endocrinology visit looks like. 👇
No rushing. No 5-minute appointments. No leaving with more questions than answers.
When you come to Advanced Institute, you're getting the full experience — because your health deserves more than a conveyor belt.
Here's what happens:
✔️ Miss Jackie gets you checked in and makes sure your insurance is on file so labs, imaging, and meds are covered
✔️ Nurse Pam — who's also an educator and life coach — goes through your complete history down to how you actually take your medications
✔️ Dr. VanD**e — diagnosis timeline, what's worked, what hasn't, family history, social history, work life, and every single symptom so nothing gets missed
And for diabetes? We don't just look at your sugar. We assess everything diabetes touches — eyes, heart, nerves, kidneys, bone — plus screen for hidden contributors like fatty liver, sleep apnea, PCOS, and more.

This is what comprehensive care looks like. This is worth the investment. 🤍
🗓️ Now seeing patients in 7 states via telehealth — and you can get in within weeks, not 6–12 months.

Your weight loss plan should come with a full picture — not just a prescription. 💉❌
Med spas hand you a shot and send you on your way.
We don't do that here.
At AIDENDO, Dr. VanD**e digs into the why behind your weight gain — including hidden endocrine issues most clinics never even look for.
Because no medication can do it all on its own. Real results take:
✅ Comprehensive assessment
✅ Lifestyle & dietary guidance
✅ Expert medical oversight
✅ A plan built for YOUR body
Weight loss isn't one-size-fits-all. It deserves time. It deserves expertise. You deserve both.

Same plate. Same food. Totally different blood sugar.
Most people have no idea that the ORDER you eat your food matters just as much as WHAT you eat.
Here's the cheat code:
🥦 Greens first
🥩 Protein second
🥔 Carbs last
That's it. No special diet. No cutting out your favorite foods. Just a simple shift that can mean the difference between a blood sugar spike and a smooth, steady response.
And here's the part most doctors won't take the time to explain — your portion threshold matters too. A full serving of mashed potatoes might spike you, but a smaller portion? Your body might handle it like a champ.
This is the kind of thing I walk my patients through every single visit. Not a 7-minute appointment. Not a prescription and a wave goodbye. Real strategy you can use at EVERY meal — even the ones you didn't plan.
If you're ready for an endocrinologist who actually teaches you how to take control of your health, let's talk.

More automated insulin pumps are coming via pharmacy benefits. The latest will be the T-slim suite of products, rounding out Omnipod & Twiist as pharmacy, rather than durable medical equipment, benefits.

The new model is meant to lower upfront costs and expand access, joining the broader industry move toward subscription-style pump access through pharmacies.

If your endocrinologist checks your A1C, adjusts your meds, and sends you out the door in 15 minutes, that's not comprehensive diabetes care. That's the bare minimum.
At my practice, new patients get about an hour. Not because we're slow, because we follow the American Diabetes Association's actual standards of practice. That means we're looking at your eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, bone health, everything diabetes touches. Every visit.
That's the difference between direct care and the insurance-based model most people are stuck in.

If you're tired of feeling like a number, we're now seeing patients in-person in DFW and via telehealth in TX, CA, CO, OR, WA, OK, and NM. And we can usually get you in within two weeks.

"How much does thyroid RFA cost?"
It's one of the first things patients ask me, and I love that question. Because unlike traditional surgery, the answer is actually straightforward.
Here's how we do it at AIDENDO:
We bundle everything into one transparent quote. That means:
✅ Your initial consultation
✅ The RFA treatment itself
✅ Your one-week follow-up
✅ Your three-month follow-up
All included. No surprise bills. No wondering what your insurance deductible is going to do to you.
Now, every patient is different. Your cost depends on two things:

How large your nodule is
How many nodules need to be treated

For larger nodules (over about 3–3.5 cm), we may need more than one session to treat the full nodule safely. We space those sessions out to give your body time to recover and let the nodule shrink between treatments.
That affects the total cost and timeline, but we walk you through all of it BEFORE you commit to anything.
No guessing. No googling. No sticker shock.
Just a clear plan built around YOUR case.
Curious what your RFA would look like?

📍 DFW in-person

We'll review your case and tell you exactly what it'll take. 💡
📌 Save this for someone with thyroid nodules who's been told surgery is the only option.
