Felt immediately comfortable discussing all health issues. Confidently related case experiences/recommendations to my conditions. Provided encouraging and motivating direction to improve my deficiencies. Reviewed my history and collaboratively suggested reasonable recommendations to achieve optimal weight & blood chemistries. It was refreshing to talk on a personal level.
