Follow-Up Care Ongoing support for your wellness journey
Consistent follow-up care is essential for achieving and maintaining optimal health. Learn about our approach to ongoing care and how we support you throughout your healing journey.
The Importance of Follow-Up Care
Healing is a process that unfolds over time, and regular follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your progress, addressing new concerns, and adjusting your treatment plan as needed. Unlike conventional medical models that often focus on episodic care, our approach emphasizes continuity and ongoing support.
Regular follow-ups allow us to:
- Track your response to treatments and make timely adjustments - Address new symptoms or concerns before they become significant issues - Review and interpret laboratory results - Adjust nutritional and supplement recommendations based on your changing needs - Provide accountability and support for lifestyle modifications - Celebrate your progress and successes along the way

Schedule ReviewFollow-Up Frequency
The recommended frequency of follow-up appointments varies based on your specific health concerns, the complexity of your treatment plan, and your individual response to treatment.
Typically, we recommend:
- Initial phase: Follow-ups every 2-4 weeks to closely monitor your response and make necessary adjustments - Stabilization phase: Appointments every 4-8 weeks as your condition improves and your treatment plan stabilizes - Maintenance phase: Check-ins every 3-6 months to ensure continued progress and address any new concerns
This schedule is always personalized to your needs and may be adjusted based on your progress and preferences.
Preparing for Follow-Up Appointments
To make the most of your follow-up appointments, we recommend:
1. Keeping a brief journal of your symptoms, improvements, or concerns between visits 2. Noting any changes in medications or supplements, including those prescribed by other providers 3. Tracking your adherence to recommended lifestyle changes 4. Preparing specific questions you'd like to address during your appointment 5. Completing any recommended laboratory testing prior to your follow-up
This preparation helps ensure that we address all your concerns and have the information needed to make appropriate adjustments to your care plan.
