Initial Inquiry Phone Conversation (no charge - 15 minutes)
Discuss your health concerns and goals.
Ask any questions regarding the services.
Mutually determine if there is a fit.
New Client - Initial Meeting ($500)
For the initial meeting, I spend 4 hours working on each client's case (2 hours prep-time + 2 hours meeting time).
A. Pre-Meeting: Health History Review and Action Plan Preparation (2 hours)
Prior to the initial meeting, I do the following:
Review your health history in the comprehensive questionnaire you complete and submit ahead of time, as well as any other relevant information, such as recent lab tests.
Assess the submitted information for nutrition, lifestyle, and other environmental factors.
Prepare a customized, written Action Plan that includes:
Suggested lab tests to get going forward to better understand your health situation
Initial supplement recommendations
Initial dietary recommendations
B. Initial Meeting: Health Overview and Action Plan Discussion (2 hours)
During the initial meeting, we do the following:
During the first part of the meeting, I provide you feedback on important items from your health history and also ask you any clarifying questions to make sure that we're not missing items relevant to your situation.
During the second part of the meeting, we go through each section of the customized, written Action Plan that I prepare ahead of time (see above). Refinements are made as necessary based on new items discussed during the first part of the meeting.
Follow-up Meetings
About four weeks after the initial meeting, I send each new client an email to check-in and see how things are going with implementing the Action Plan recommendations.
If the client has had a chance to try the recommended supplements and dietary changes and get the suggested lab tests, we then schedule a second meeting to:
Discuss the lab test results and their implications. (The client sends me the results for the lab tests suggested in the initial meeting before we meet for the second meeting. I put together a written document with the lab test interpretations and recommendations, and bring that document to the second meeting.)
Get feedback on the effectiveness of each of the supplement and dietary recommendations.
Provide refinements and additional suggestions going forward.
The second meeting is really important. If someone is not going to meet for the first and second meetings, I recommend not signing up as a client.
The fee for follow-up help (e.g., preparing lab test interpretations and recommendations write-ups, in-person meetings, phone meetings, replying to follow-up questions by email, researching answers to follow-up questions, etc.) is $100 per hour. The second meeting usually requires 2 to 3 hours of prep-time and 2 hours of meeting time.
I'm glad to provide ongoing guidance and support beyond the initial and second meetings as you need and want it. Each person's situation is unique. Some clients need and want a lot of help. They have complex, long-standing health issues that cannot be resolved in a couple of meetings. Other clients have more simple health issues. Whatever your needs, I can help.
Unlike many practitioners, I do not offer multiple-meeting package programs ("Try My 4 Meeting Fat Burner Program!" "Try My 3 Month Energy Booster Program!"). Such one-size-fits-all programs are usually just gimmicks to make more money for practitioners and do not meet people's individual needs.
Regardless of your needs, you're always in control. It's your health, and you determine when and how much help is provided.
