What is the goal of the new patient consultation?

Your New Patient Consult: What to Expect

A clear look at how your first visit works and what happens next.

Start Here: This Is an Information-Gathering Visit

The new patient consult is designed for Dr. Justin to learn about you: your history, your habits, and your health challenges. It is not a treatment visit, and that is by design. Gathering the full picture first means your plan is built on evidence, not guesswork, so you are not spending money on labs or supplements you may not need.

Your full plan comes at the follow-up consult, once new labs have been ordered and reviewed. Recommendations are then refined over time as your feedback and results come in. This is the same process Dr. Justin has used with thousands of patients over 15+ years of practice.

Length: 45 to 60 minutes

Format: Telemedicine, from wherever you are

Investment: $399, which includes a comprehensive case review and your personalized health direction

You Will Leave Your First Visit With:

  • A clear direction on where your health challenges are likely coming from
  • A prioritized set of recommended lab tests, tailored to your case and budget
  • Initial diet and lifestyle guidance you can start on right away

What We Cover

1What Has Worked and What Has Not

We review your past experiences with practitioners and with self-directed care, so we can do more of what worked for you and less of what did not.

2Complete Metabolic History

We look at gut health, respiration, neurological function, and other body systems, along with relevant family history. This points us in the right direction and helps prioritize your recommendations.

3Timeline History

Dr. Justin uses his own timeline process to map your health from birth to today. We identify when you felt your best and highlight the key setbacks and breakthroughs along the way. This timeline gives us important clues about what may have helped you and what may have set you back.

4Diet and Lifestyle History

We assess your diet, movement, sleep, and daily habits to gauge how much ongoing support you will need. Some patients want extra follow-up coaching, others need very little. Your program meets you where you are.

5Previous Labs, Briefly Reviewed

We scan any previous labs for red flags. Results from the past year and out-of-range values carry the most weight. Dr. Justin reads results through both conventional and optimal health ranges.

Please upload your prior labs ahead of time so they are on file. Note that the review itself happens live during your consult rather than beforehand, so we can walk through the findings together.

About longer lab reviews: Dr. Justin can typically review 1 to 3 shorter reports, meaning roughly 5 pages or fewer each, during this visit. More extensive reviews may involve an interpretation fee of $100 to $300 depending on page count. Any fee is quoted and approved by you before any work begins.

6New Labs

Based on everything above, we recommend 1 to 4 functional medicine labs covering areas such as hormones, gut health and infections, and detoxification. These help identify possible root causes behind your health challenges.

If you would like to scale recommendations up or down, just tell Dr. Justin and the office, and we will calibrate to your needs and your budget.

You are always in control. You approve everything before it is ordered. Nothing is automatic, and your plan is always calibrated to your comfort level and budget.

A note on costs: lab testing and supplements are billed separately from your consult fee.

How to Prepare

Your Check-In Consult

A short visit to make sure you are set up for success. We cover:

  • Any questions that have come up since your first visit
  • How you are doing with the diet
  • How you are doing with supplementation
  • Whether you were able to download your requisition forms and complete your lab tests

Your Lab Review Consult

This is where your plan takes shape. The timing allows all of your new lab results to arrive so they can be reviewed together rather than piece by piece. Reading them as a full picture is what makes the findings meaningful.

Keep in Mind

New lab results always require a follow-up consult so your protocol can be built from them properly.

Pace is flexible. Some patients start slower, some move faster. Both are fine. What matters is taking consistent steps in the right direction.

Realistic expectations help us work better together and improve your chances of reaching your health goals.
