Your doctor will review your health and wellness history and your current health status to get a solid understanding of where you need to be healthwise.  Your doctor will then order some lab tests to get a good picture of your current metabolic health.  

Once your test results are in, you will meet with your doctor again to come up with a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs.  This may involve addressing nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and/or medications.  If you need further testing or specialty consultation, your doctor will be able to arrange this.
