Visit Three: Complete your Personalized Integrative Medicine Treatment Plan This session with Dr. Jacobson pulls everything together into a 3-month Integrative Medicine treatment plan based on your genetic potential and metabolic needs. This treatment plan is updated every 3 months to stay in alignment with your seasonal biorhythms and metabolic mind-body type. Referrals for functional nutrition, Ayurveda treatments, and other integrative practitioners are discussed and recommended. This visit may occur either in-person or via telehealth.
Monthly and Seasonal Follow-Up Consultations The timing is determined by your personalized Integrative Medicine treatment plan. Dr. Jacobson recommends a physician check-in at a minimum of every 3 months to reassess what is working, repeat priority laboratory tests, and modify your health optimization strategies. Monthly functional nutrition consultations and Ayurveda treatments are often needed for successful lifestyle changes and health optimization.

These visits may either be in-person or via telehealth.
Family Consultations This is an option for families who have committed to work together to optimize health and wellness throughout their home. These are educational only and do not provide personalized medical information.
Telehealth Checkins 10 minute brief check-ins to ask questions or discuss progress as you live out your medical wellness plan in real-life! Available once your Integrative Medicine treatment plan is completed.
