47 | Annual Wellness Visits that Actually Promote Wellness with Dr. Forrest Sauer
from Daily Wellness Podcast · host Melisha Meredith
Are yearly wellness visits necessary? What should you be requesting if you go? Dr. Forrest Sauer, gives us some insight from his experience in functional medicine. In this episode, we talk about whether or not annual checkups are necessary or helpful, and what he suggests doing for an annual exam (including recommended lab tests) if you are truly seeking health and wellness. If you are going to “wellness visits” with your current doctor, you really need to listen in to understand why conventional doctors do visits the way that they do now, so you can advocate for yourself. He gives us some great insight on what we may need to look out for in our own health from what he is commonly seeing in his patients. And I loved his examples of how he has helped specific patients get to the root cause of their health problems.
