What Happens In An Initial Appointment
Congratulations on taking the first step towards reaching your health goals!
You’ve booked an initial appointment with me and are curious what that entails, here’s a quick rundown:
Initial appointments are 60-75 minutes long and they give us the chance to go over your health history, goals and outline a plan.
During our first visit (usually over a tea), I’ll ask a lot of questions to help get a clear picture of ALL aspects of your health. As an ND, I believe health goes deeper than your symptoms so getting to know the ins-and-outs of your health and goals helps me to tailor a plan to treat the root cause and your individual needs.
We’ll chat about digestion, nutrition, hormonal health, sleep, energy levels, your health history and your goals.
I’ll do physical exams or requisition for laboratory or diagnostic testing if necessary. I encourage patients to bring any current medications, supplements, and recent lab tests (if available) to this visit and to fill out our online intake form before coming in.
From there we’ll work together to put together a comprehensive plan to help you meet your health goals. We’ll focus on nutrition, hormone balancing, optimizing sleep, energy and more. Learn more about services and treatments here.
