New Client Instructions

Congratulations! You’re on your way to achieving a healthier lifestyle.

Before the Initial Appointment:

  1. In your email, you will receive a link from me to sign up for the Free Healthie App.

    The Healthie app is a HIPAA compliant app that we will use to communicate with each other by texting and for our virtual calls. You will have to create a new account and a password to have access to it. There are a lot of great features that you can take advantage of too.

  2. Fill out the initial questionnaire and the other forms you will receive once you are signed into the Healthie App.

    You will receive an Initial Questionnaire, HIPAA Agreement, Consent for Nutrition Services, Release of Information (if you allow me to communicate with your doctor), Telehealth Informed Consent, and the Nutritional Supplement Informed Consent( if supplements are needed). The forms will need to be filled out before our first consult. I know it’s a lot but it keeps your privacy safe.

  3. Get access to a digital scale to weigh yourself on.

    If you need to purchase a scale, you can find a great scale at a low price here.

  4. Be on the lookout for an email or text with your Healthie Zoom meeting link for our consultation.

    Click the link at your appointment time and you will be taken to the virtual meeting.

After your Initial Appointment:

Discovery what you might want to start tracking in the Healthie app.

You can sync your Fitbit, Apple watch/Apple Health, Google Fit, and MyFitnessPal. You can add your information manually too. Smart Scales that can be synced are Fitbit and Shapa/Clear Step. You have the option of using your own scale and manually logging it in the app. We will be in touch through the Healthie chat(texting) between consults. Feel free to send pictures of your meals and snacks.

You will receive an email from Thorne, a vitamin/mineral supplements company, so look for it in your inbox.
