Lifestyle Consultations with Dr. Heather
Proactive and Preventative Tools for Optimal Health

Dr. Heather’s goal is to empower individuals and families to take charge of their own health. She considers educating and informing to be the most important part of her practice. That’s why she refers to her appointments as “lifestyle consultations.” They are not your typical what’s-wrong-and-how-can-we-fix-it doctor/patient interactions, but rather a holistic look at each patient. She takes into consideration all past medical history, current diet and exercise information, then offers a customized Optimal Health Plan (OHP), which offers suggestions in regard to nutrition, supplements, and treatments. It is not about diagnosing and prescribing, but rather encouraging and supporting healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices by offering proactive and preventative tools for optimal health.

Dr. Heather realizes making lifestyle changes may be difficult for some. That’s why she offers and recommends packages of three consultations. The first appointment will consist of Dr. Heather discussing the patient’s history (patient will have filled out and submitted a detailed new patient form prior to the scheduled appointment), coming to a clear understanding of the patient’s goals, and offering preliminary suggestions. Within 24 hours, she will send the patient his or her detailed OHP based on the first appointment. The two subsequent follow-up appointments serve to evaluate the patient’s progress and, based on any new information and/or lab results, make adjustments to the OHP.

It is recommended that one-time consultations be reserved for specific preventative health care goals such as setting up your own natural home pharmacy or a having a fridge makeover.

Dr. Heather loves to meet patients in person, however, understanding that is not always feasible, she welcomes telephone consultations as well.
