My Treatment plan is based on Lifestyle modifications. At each visit, we will explore together the best treatment plan for you and your symptoms.
Our visits will be no less than 2 weeks apart to allow time for you to experience your modified lifestyle factors. Each subsequent visit will be scheduled when you are ready and after you return your questionnaires and complete recommended testing.
Each visit can be in any order after the initial visit, but I strongly recommend starting with Nutritional Assessment.
Below is an example of a recommended flow of the program.

The ultimate goal of any treatment plan is to empower you with the tools you need to attain and sustain an appropriate level of wellness.
Remember, this is your program. It needs to work for you – not me. If at any time you want to take a break or feel you have gotten what you need, then the program has been successful.
The success of this program depends on you.
