Which nutrition and supplement plan is right for me?

The Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head experts meet with you in person or virtually to discuss your body mass index (BMI), medical history, lifestyle, and medications. They assess your vital signs and evaluate your overall health during a physical exam.

Lab testing and other diagnostic tests help determine if you have health concerns requiring a specialized eating plan or dietary supplement regimen to ease symptoms or reduce the risk of health complications. Your internal medicine specialist tailors a plan based on your specific needs and follows up routinely to ensure superior health outcomes. 

They may refer out to other providers, offering expert collaboration of care when necessary.

What can I expect when choosing good nutrition and supplements?

Follow your nutrition and supplement plan exactly as instructed by your provider. They make sure you’re not at risk of medication interactions. You can expect to manage a healthy weight, have more energy, and potentially reduce the need to take medications over time. Your nutrition goals might consist of eating more fiber and protein or eliminating processed foods.

If you’re following a medically supervised weight loss diet, you might take GLP-1 medications to boost satiety, help you manage blood sugar, and achieve your target body weight.

It’s also important to get 7-9 hours of sleep, minimize stress (try yoga, meditation, massage, etc.), and drink plenty of water. Eliminate or avoid alcohol and don’t smoke to maximize your health outcomes.
