First Appointment

Your first visit is not just another appointment. It’s the foundation for a partnership built on listening, investigation, and clarity.

At this session ($150), I’ll guide you through a structured yet compassionate process to begin uncovering what’s really going on in your health.

​

Before You Arrive

• You’ll receive a detailed intake questionnaire in advance. Be thorough! This helps me see patterns even before we meet.

• Gather your recent lab reports, a current list of medications & supplements, and any relevant medical history or imaging.

​

During Our Time Together

In our 30 minutes, we will:

1. Deep Dive into Your Story

   • Your symptom timeline: when they started, how they’ve evolved

   • Past diagnoses, treatments, and what’s worked or not

   • Lifestyle factors: sleep, stress, diet, movement, relationships, environmental exposures

2. Review Your Goals & Priorities

   • What does “better health” look like for you?

   • Which areas you feel most ready to tackle first

3. Preliminary Insights & Next Steps

   • Based on our conversation, I’ll suggest which labs or diagnostic testing to order

   • We’ll co-design a follow-up plan: how we’ll interpret results, when we’ll revisit, and what initial tactics may help

   • I’ll explain how I use functional medicine tools (lab panels, advanced biomarkers, systems thinking) in service of you

4. Questions & Clarifications

   • You’ll leave knowing why I’m recommending what I am, and what to expect going forward

​

After Your Visit

• I’ll send you a care roadmap and lab orders (if indicated) within 24–48 hours

• You’ll schedule a follow-up appointment (typically longer) to review results, refine your plan, and begin implementation.

• Between visits, you may receive supportive recommendations (nutrition, habit tweaks, stress tools) to begin working on foundational shifts.
