What the Foundational Health Assessment Includes
Visit 1: 60–75 minutes
Health & Lifestyle Intake
Led by your provider
This visit focuses on understanding the full picture of your health and identifying the patterns that influence symptoms. You’ll feel heard, understood, and guided from day one.
Lifestyle Assessment
Your daily life tells a story labs alone cannot. We review stress, sleep, nutrition patterns, movement habits, and routines to understand why symptoms developed—and how to support healing at the root.
Foundational Lab Testing
A same-day, on-site blood draw that goes beyond a typical annual physical panel. We assess the biomarkers that help explain symptoms, including hormones, inflammation, metabolic markers, thyroid patterns, and nutrient status. This panel is broader than what’s typically ordered at an annual physical and is tailored to your primary concerns from the start.
Inflammation and metabolic markers
Thyroid and hormone-related patterns
Nutrient status and immune activity
Organ function, diabetes risk, and more
We don’t run every test on every person. Advanced testing, such as food sensitivity panels, stool testing, and nutrient assessments, is ordered only when it adds clinical value, based on your history, symptoms, and initial results. These specialized tests are optional and may involve additional cost, while all foundational lab work is included.
InBody 570 Body Composition Scan
A quick, non-invasive scan that reveals what the scale can’t: muscle balance, visceral fat, hydration, and estimated metabolic rate. This helps explain what your body is made of and why past efforts may not have worked.
Clinic Tour
A welcoming walkthrough so you feel comfortable, confident, and supported from your very first visit.

Medical Intake & Lab Review
Led by your provider
This is where everything comes together. We review your results in depth and connect them directly to your symptoms, history, and goals.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:
What may be driving your symptoms, based on your labs, history, and lifestyle patterns
Why previous approaches may not have worked
What your body needs moving forward, so you can make informed decisions with confidence
You will leave your assessment with a deep, personalized understanding of your health data and how it connects to the way you feel. This option is ideal for those who want answers, education, and direction without committing to ongoing care. There are no required next steps and no pressure to continue.
