One question we get all of the time is, “What do you usually do for ______?”
Fill in the blank with fatigue, thyroid problems, digestive issues, hormones, autoimmune issues, mold, Lyme, cancer, or just about anything else.
The answer always depends on the person. We can have two patients sitting in our office with very similar symptoms, and once we start going through their histories, we find two very different stories. One may have been dealing with their symptoms for years. Another noticed changes all of the sudden. Their labs may look different, or they may look the same.
All of that matters when we’re deciding what to do next. For one person, previous lab results and medical records give us a big head start. For someone else, there may be a specific questions we need testing to help answer. We always look at lifestyle, but some people already have that based covered. Sometimes there’s a treatment or therapy we think is worth considering. Often, it’s a combination of several things.
As we proceed with recommendations, we tweak as we go. If something is helping, that tells us something. If symptoms change, labs change, or something new pops up, we take that into consideration in deciding the path forward.
Care for every person is truly customized because when you’re the person actually following the plan, there should be a good reason behind what’s on it.
