FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CONSULTATIONS

This is not your typical doctor’s visit. Each new patient experience is designed to cover everything from an extensive health intake, through innovative lab testing and nutrition support.

Your health journey begins with a day of health, lifestyle and nutrition assessments at our clinic, in Lenox, Massachusetts.

The first appointment with a Functional Medicine physician must be done in-person at our clinic. Follow-up appointments may take place in person or remotely via phone.

Gathering information

During a 40-minute pre-appointment with one of our nurses, we engage in a conversation to find out more about you, your health, and family history to build your in-depth health profile.

Exploring your health

During a 60-minute appointment, your physician will go over your medical history, your goals, ailments, prior lab testing, and nutrition. Together, the two of you will create a treatment plan.

Establishing your Baseline

Experience the convenience of in-house lab testing at our innovative Functional Medicine lab, where our lab team draws extensive blood panels, and helps with cutting edge testing. For tests that are done at home, our lab team will walk you through step-by-step instructions.

Creating a lifestyle plan

A 50-minute meeting with one of our in-house Functional Medicine Nutritionists is designed to support your individualized protocol and create a personalized nutrition plan focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods to address imbalances and use food as medicine.

Setting you up for success

Your concluding session with the nurse provides for time to review your personalized plan, prioritize your protocol, discuss next steps on your journey, and establish a relationship for on-going support.

CHECKING IN

Staying in touch

Four weeks after your first appointment, you will have a 50-minute nutrition follow-up to assess how your diet modifications are going and review initial results from nutrition labs. Further individualization of diet is done at this touchpoint.

Six weeks after your initial appointment, we schedule a 50-minute follow-up with your physician to review lab results and discuss further individualization of your treatment plan.

Continuing your journey

We realize that your journey toward health and vitality begins with your first visit to The UltraWellness Center. As we continue to work together, your physician and nutritionist team are available for remote or in person follow-up appointments and you will receive ongoing support from our nursing staff. Our hope is to continue to optimize your health, encourage prevention, and share new health discoveries with you.

Functional Nutrition Consultations

Lifestyle change and changes in diet often work faster, better and more cheaply than medication and can be as effective without any side effects or long-term complications.

– Mark Hyman, MD

Working with one of our Functional Nutritionists is a great way to get started on your health journey if you cannot travel to The UltraWellness Center.

Gather information

During an initial consultation we review medical history and current dietary intake. We order labs based on your individual needs such as a Comprehensive Nutrition Profile or Genetic Testing to Food Sensitivities.

In addition, we discuss lifestyle factors which influence health such as exercise, stress, quality of sleep, relationships and relationship to food.

Developing a personalized plan

We work with you to come up with an Individualized Nutritional plan that emphasizes the importance of high quality foods and phytonutrient diversity. We suggest targeted
supplements based on medical history and test results.

Continuing the Journey

We will continually work with you to assess progress with your nutrition plan and make revisions as needed. We constantly reevaluate and adjust the plan based on new information goals and test results.
