Quick intro

Who it’s for

  • Prediabetes/insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, fatty liver risk

Visit flow (what to expect)

  1. Check-in & consult → goals, symptoms, travel/schedule reality
  2. Measurements → vitals, body composition, baseline photos (optional)
  3. Labs → fasting or non-fasting per plan (we’ll advise)
  4. Plan → nutrition/activity targets, meds (if appropriate), BP/step tracking
  5. Follow-up → English results summary, adjustments, escalation criteria

Tracking & targets (examples)

  • Body composition re-scan every 4–8 weeks
  • Lab recheck at 8–12 weeks after changes; then 3–12 months based on risk
  • Practical targets: protein g/day, fiber 25–38 g/day, steps/week, resistance 2–3×/week, alcohol & sleep goals

Fasting vs. non-fasting labs

  • Routine lipid/glucose checks can be non-fasting; if triglycerides are high or we’re confirming baselines, we may request an 8–12h fast (water allowed).
  • Bring a list of supplements (omega-3s/niacin/biotin) and medications.

Safety & red flags

  • Programs focus on prevention and optimization—not emergencies.
  • For chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, stroke signs, or very high glucose with dehydration/confusion, call 119 or go to an ER.

Pricing & insurance notes

  • Fees vary by tier, labs chosen, and any add-ons/referrals.
  • Most visitors pay upfront and use itemized English receipts for reimbursement.
  • Ask for a written quote with session counts and lab panels before starting.
