For insulin resistance, PCOS/PMOS, weight resistance, inflammation, and metabolic concerns.

Struggling with weight resistance, insulin resistance, cravings, fatigue, belly fat, inflammation, prediabetes, or PCOS/PMOS? Feel like you’ve tried everything and still aren’t getting results?

This consultation is designed to help uncover what may be driving your symptoms and create a practical, physician-guided plan forward.

Good to know:
If you are a member of Direct Primary Care of West Michigan, care for metabolic concerns such as insulin resistance, PCOS/PMOS, weight resistance, cholesterol concerns, inflammation, and prevention is already included as part of your membership and does not require a separate package fee.

This consultation is designed primarily for non-members seeking a focused metabolic evaluation or second opinion.
