🩺 What You’ll Receive Today
You’ll get two things:
- 📄 Detailed Lab Value Report (hard‑copy)
- A deep dive into every lab value. For nerds, you can reference descriptions of each lab value from a functional perspective in our Glossary.
- An electronic version will also appear in the patient portal so you can share it with any other providers (we can securely fax it if you prefer).
- The report will later include your Health Plan after your appointment.
- 🗒️ TM Functional Lab Summary (Hard copy / electronic copy)
- Dr. Skip spends about 45 min. preparing this just for you.
- Highlights trends across related markers.
- Pinpoints the key focus areas for your Health Protocol.
Jason (J.) can help you schedule a follow‑up call with Dr. Skip for any lingering concerns.
⚠️ Quick reminder: If you haven’t started the initial protocol outlined in your E&MS notes, print those notes now and begin right away while you wait for your final protocol (expected within the next week).
📂 Where to Find Your Health Plan
- Inside the electronic Functional Lab Summary that Dr. Skip will send you.
- Dr. Skip charts on Fridays, hands the draft to J. for audit, and you’ll usually receive the finalized plan the following week.
- Pay special attention to the Prescriptions and any recommended Treatments sections.
💊 Pharmacies We Use
Primary – FullScript.com
- You’ll get a text when a prescription is authorized.
- Avoid the “add all to cart” feature—Dr. Skip may substitute manufacturers for back‑ordered items, and that shortcut could duplicate orders.
Secondary – Office Pharmacy
- We can mail prescriptions to you or arrange a scheduled pickup.
- Some items are drop‑shipped directly from the manufacturer; just call the office or request through the patient portal.
Note: Amazon‑sold supplements can be risky. Even if Dr. Skip recommends a product sold there, many third‑party sellers offer counterfeit items, so use them at your own discretion.
📝 Patient Information Leaflets (PILs)
Most prescription‑grade supplements come with a concise, easy‑to‑read guide that explains:
- What the supplement does
- How to take it correctly
- Lifestyle/nutritional guidance
- Potential side effects and safety warnings
A digital copy of each PIL is hosted on our website and automatically linked to most prescriptions we dispense, so you can always access the latest guidance.
✅ Patient Checklist
- 🔐 Log in to the Patient Portal (https://askdrskip.intakeq.com/) and print your completed Lab Report. Review the updated protocol and any office messages.
- 📦 Order all prescribed medications.
- 💊 Prepare your supplement packs / health routine
- Use sturdy, reusable pill pouches (tiny zip‑lock bags for jewelry work well).
- Pair your daily supplement intake with a health shake, smoothie, or juice as a reminder cue.
- Keep nighttime meds by your bedside, daytime doses in a work‑desk bottle or bag, and set smartphone reminders for consistency.
- 📅 Schedule a follow‑up with Dr. Skip in 6–8 weeks (≈30 min, phone‑based) to assess results and answer questions.
- 🛠️ Book any recommended treatments via the Self‑Service Menu (“Book an Appointment”) or contact the office for assistance.
🖊️ Quick‑Dose Marker Tip
Grab a permanent marker and label the top of each prescription‑or‑supplement bottle cap with the exact daily dose (or packets per day).
Why it works:
- Advance prep: Fill weekly or bi‑weekly pill pouches in one sitting, knowing exactly how many go into each compartment.
- Reorder alerts: When the bottle runs low, the marked cap makes it obvious it’s time to restock, so you can place a new order before you run out. Save the cap and place it on the new bottle.
- Routine boost: A visual cue on the cap streamlines your daily routine, reducing missed doses and improving compliance.
A simple marker can turn a cluttered shelf into a clear, hassle‑free medication system. Give it a try and notice how much smoother your health regimen becomes.
🚨 Operational Update
- Monday appointments are now reserved for established patients with acute needs (e.g., severe pain, emergencies, or 30‑minute telehealth visits).
