Nurse Practitioner Led Prevention and Treatment of Metabolic Disease
Mission and Vision
Mission Statement: “My mission is to revolutionize healthcare by empowering individuals and their primary care providers with the knowledge and tools to reverse chronic diseases caused by insulin resistance.

Free Consultation
-
Initial Consultation: All initial consultations are free so that we can first determine if we can work together safely and effectively. I will ask about your goals and about medical history. I encourage people to look at the required education even before this step so that you have an idea about treatment.
Education
-
Required Education: Before your initial assessment (or free consult), you will be asked to complete required education. This includes reading the PowerPoint on my website and one you tube video. This is important as it provides a foundation of knowledge that contrasts with traditional health perspectives. I've also listed highly recommended books, podcasts and YouTube videos.
Initial Assessment and Blood Work

Initial Assessment: This is a 90 minute session where I assess your goals of therapy, medical history, family history, symptoms, and provide education about the lifestyle intervention.
