 How does Dr. Orlowski work?

When you come to see Dr. Orlowski you can expect her to help you understand what is happening in your body from a whole-person perspective. Meaning, that if you have hot flashes, she wants to know why you have hot flashes.  Is it because of a hormone imbalance, stress that is disrupting the hypothalamic axis, or anxiety, or is your room just too hot?   She will take a detailed intake of your symptoms, look at any labs already run, and make lab recommendations to bring to your doctor with explanations. This information helps her to get a deeper understanding of what is happening specifically for you and your unique physiology. After she has assessed this information, she will come up with a plan for you that is ALWAYS focused on food first, supplements, and recommendations to see your MD if appropriate. She has found in her almost 20  years of clinical experience that food and lifestyle changes make the biggest impact in helping people return to optimal health! her focus is Nutritional Consulting and you can work with her on an appointment-by-appointment basis or do a 3-month intensive, which will involve coaching you to find the best diet plan for you based on your specific needs and genomic information (if available).  Dr. Orlowski's goal is to teach you how to “fish”.
