In this visit we will go over your top concerns with your health in great detail and review:

• Past medical history

• Medications & supplements

• Nutrition

• Digestive health

• Sleep

• Exercise

• Stress

• Menstrual history & hormonal assessment

The goal of this visit is to help assess what's happening with your health, and allow you to feel heard and supported while I get a comprehensive overview of everything that may be contributing to your concerns. My goal is to arrive at a proper diagnosis and assessment so we can initiate the most effective treatment plan. If lab tests are recommended, they will be ordered in this visit. While we wait on test results, you will leave with something actionable to implement to get you on the path to feeling better before we meet again.

At this visit we will review your lab results and I will share my individualized assessment of what is going on with your hormonal health. We will then discuss how we will manage what is happening with our short term goals and long term goals. Short term goals will focus on getting you feeling better ASAP, and long term goals will focus on how we plan to support your health for the next 5-30 years.

Our treatment plan may include:

• Nutritional counselling

• Nutritional supplements

• Hormone replacement therapy

• IV Vitamin therapy

• Acupuncture

• Lifestyle recommendations around sleep, stress, and movement.

In each follow up visit we will talk about what is going well, what is not working, and the progress you're making on your health goals. We will troubleshoot solutions together to keep you moving in the right direction. It's okay if life gets in the way and you've made no changes- I still want to see you! (this is why I am here- as your cheerleader). This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions or curiosities you have about your health or bring up new concerns as they arise.

The frequency of these visits varies for everyone depending on what we are working on, when hormone prescription refills may be needed, or if we are using any physical modalities like acupuncture or IV therapy.

Most patients feel that after 4-6 visits (usually 4-6 weeks apart) they have a great understanding of their condition, know how to manage it, and can move to the maintenance phase.

Once you have a handle on your primary concerns we plan to meet again in 6 months to a year. Our goal is to check in on overall health at this time and ensure you have ongoing support in your health journey.

We can reassess areas that might need support, do a current health assessment with new lab work, or discuss results from your MD or specialist if there are any. My goal is to continue to support you through life's transitions and the hormonal changes that occur as a result.

Recommended Treatment Lengths for the Ongoing Health Maintenance phase.
