Approach to care

Your first session with Michele

The initial visit runs about an hour and starts with questions about health history, medications, pertinent labs, and any diagnoses related to nutrition. You'll also talk about your typical day, sleep, stress, movement and what a normal day of eating and drinking looks like, without any judgement. Together you'll clarify what you're hoping to change, whether it's labs, energy, digestion, relationships with food or weight and why it matters to you. Together we will map out a plan to reach your goals.
