Your first visit starts with a review of your health history, goals, current symptoms or concerns, medications, supplements, family history, and relevant lab work. If you have recent blood work, home blood pressure readings, glucose data, or other health records, bring them to your appointment.

Your naturopathic doctor will look at the patterns that may be contributing to your current health picture. This may include blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, cholesterol and triglycerides, blood pressure, inflammation markers, metabolic liver health, sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and medication considerations.

You will leave with a care plan that may include nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, lab or monitoring suggestions, supplement or medication review, follow-up timing, and next steps for care. Where clinically appropriate, your visit may also include discussion of whether GLP-1 medication or other prescription options should be considered as one part of a broader plan.

Follow-up visits are used to review progress, update the plan, discuss labs or monitoring results, and adjust care as needed. For patients taking GLP-1 or other metabolic medications, follow-up may include support with side effects, nutrition, protein intake, hydration, constipation or reflux concerns, strength training, and longer-term maintenance planning.
