I call January my health month because it is when I schedule my annual doctor appointments, with my primary care physician as well as the specialists I see.
One certainty is that almost all of us will have an annual wellness exam or an appointment to address a specific health concern in the coming year.
No one ever teaches us how to prepare for these appointments, but it is important if you want to get the most out of your visit. Most physicians have limited time to devote to a patient visit, so being prepared and succinct can go a long way to getting your concerns addressed.
The first place I like to start is to have a list of my supplements and medications, with dosage levels, ready to hand to the doctor or nurse.
