A free initial virtual or phone consultation allows us to get to know each other and discuss expectations to determine what type of functional lifestyle medicine evaluation and/or coaching is right for you.
Once you have agreed to move forward, you will determine which package is right for you. Not sure, or want something different or custom-made for you? Do you need to arrange a payment plan? We can work together to ensure that your needs are met.
As your physician-coach I will support and guide you on your journey. Expect very close communication by text and email outside of the designated meeting times. As one of your accountability partners I will be there to encourage your active involvement in the process to ensure success.
Do you want help learning to shop for healthy food? Need exercise or yoga tips? How about a session dedicated to meditation? Do you want to explore personalized packages unique to your situation? I am available to help you in all aspects of your wellness journey.
This is not your usual doctor's visit. We'll be going through your history all the way back to birth, in order to get a clear picture as to the root cause of your current symptoms. You'll then have an anthropometric exam, with special emphasis on finding any signs of nutritional deficiencies.
Part of your baseline anthropometrics includes state of the art bioimpedance analysis. Clients local to Annapolis, Maryland or those willing to travel get a professional body composition analysis at the start of their journey and throughout the coaching term. This is a powerful way to visualize change.
Your unique circumstances will determine what lab testing, if any, is right for you. This testing is often from the convenience of your own home. Dr. Parmele will review the results carefully with you and make appropriate treatment plans based on the results.
*Lab tests are an additional charge.
Your genetics are uniquely your own. As a coaching client you will have the option to have your DNA data uploaded and analyzed through a specialized program that determines your trait variants and how they play a role in your nutritional metabolism, cardiovascular status, and even your ability to recover from exercise!
You will receive a unique, personalized diet, lifestyle, and exercise plan. Your test results may also indicate the need for supplementation of any deficiencies. You will be able to be prescribed any supplements that you need to be delivered right to your door.
This is a boutique practice with a limited number of clients at any given time. You will have unlimited texting/emailing access through the Healthie® online portal with a minimum of once monthly in-person or virtual meetings. We review goals and track your progress throughout your whole wellness journey.
As a member of the CHEFCoachMD community you are part of a tribe! Included in the packages are monthly educational Zoom meetings and ongoing confidential chats for sharing of ideas, recipes, and success stories.
We believe that meaningful relationships between providers and clients drive better health outcomes. Healthie® makes it easy for you to stay connected with Dr. Parmele to achieve your health goals.
Together, you and Dr. Parmele come up with daily and weekly health goals. You can access these goals through Healthie® on all your mobile devices and check them off as you complete them for daily accountability.
Real-time, consistent engagement has been shown to improve outcomes. Through Healthie® important metrics such as sleep and steps can be monitored, all included with the coaching program.
