STEP 1: Call your primary doctor or, if you don’t have one, ask friends/co-workers for a recommendation and see if they are in your insurance network.
STEP 2: Schedule an appointment for an annual physical. Since they will be doing blood work, confirm if you need to fast the night before, or if there are any other to-dos beforehand.
STEP 3: Talk to your doctor about any concerns, anything that seems “off” and ask about any age-related tests that you should consider. Prepare a list of concerns or questions you have before your appointment so you can ensure that everything gets addressed.
STEP 4: Once you receive test results, if there are some areas of opportunity, listen to your doctor about suggested life adjustments or medications. If you choose, talk with a Nutritionist or Holistic Health Practitioner to discuss natural therapies or foods/supplements that may be helpful. No matter the results of your appointment, you will have some peace of mind knowing where you are physically and emotionally. You can then make appropriate decisions moving forward to protect and maintain your health.
