The goal of this first appointment is to gather as much information about your health as possible by hearing your story and fleshing out your primary concerns and goals. I synthesize the information gathered at this appointment with the intake forms and any lab work you have submitted to help form a complete picture of your health timeline to inform your initial therapeutic plan, which we will discuss in depth at the second appointment.

My areas of expertise include metabolic health concerns including dyslipidemia, hypertension, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, long covid, and chronic fatigue.

This second session is a time for us to delve into your therapeutic plan and strategize where to begin. Ideally this session will occur within roughly one week of the initial consult. I address any questions and concerns, I help you refine your short and long term goals, and we make adjustments to your plan as needed or desired. Remember, it’s your plan, so I want to be sure you feel that the plan fits you. I also want you to have a solid understanding of the rationale, so I provide personalized education on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and more at this session as well as at future visits.

Continued guidance and support are available at any time as you progress on your treatment plan. Therapeutic plans are typically embarked on in stages, with the first stage beginning after the therapeutic plan visit and next stages to follow in the weeks and months to come. Follow-up appointments may be recommended at specific intervals depending on your individual situation, the complexity of your plan, and the support you desire. As a general guideline, I typically like to have the first follow up within 2-4 weeks of the therapeutic plan visit. The process of implementing a plan is dynamic and every case is approached individually. For more information about how I work, please see my Services page.
