First-Time Patient Tips
Before your initial consultation, compile a list of all current medications, supplements, and any previous weight loss attempts with their outcomes. Keep a detailed food diary for at least one week, including work meals, social eating, and weekend habits - this gives us valuable insight into your current patterns. Prepare to discuss your work schedule, travel requirements, and other lifestyle factors that might affect your program. Come with realistic expectations about timelines and be ready to commit to regular follow-up appointments. It's important to be honest about your challenges and limitations so we can create a program that actually works for your life.
