Visit 1: Initial Physician Consult

• In person home visits in Burlington County, Camden County and Gloucester County New Jersey – To assess your overall health, I’ll check your blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference. I’ll also perform a thorough physical exam, focusing on your general health and excluding any sensitive areas like the breasts, genitals, or reproductive organ).
• Telehealth visits – review your self-measured blood pressure, height, weight and waist circumference

The market is saturated with these products, often promoted heavily by healthcare influencers, despite limited scientific evidence supporting their benefits for patients. This raises serious concerns about patient safety and the potential for misleading marketing practices.
• Dissection of your kitchen/pantry – to help you to eliminate processed food and throw out containers/cookware that maybe leaching harmful chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, flame retardants, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). These chemicals can have serious health impacts, including cancer, thyroid disease, and diabetes.
