Physician-Guided Prevention Visit, Turn Labs Into Action
I read your ApoB and core labs, map your risks, and give you clear next steps for food, sleep, and strength.
Welcome to the Healthy Aging Newsletter, a free publication translating trustworthy medical research into simple habits to age well, free of chronic disease. I’m Dr. Ashori, a family medicine doctor turned health coach.
You got your results. Now what? This appointment turns your “numbers” into your next steps, so you know what to change, starting tomorrow morning.
TL;DR
We review your health goals, routine, and family risks.
We translate your existing labs into plain English.
You leave with a 90-day plan for food, sleep, and strength.
We track 2 to 4 metrics to see them improve.
1) What a Preventive Health Consult Includes
We look at the big picture, not just a lab test. We connect your daily routine to real-world health risk, then choose 1-2 small changes to start now.
The goal is sustainability, a plan you can stick with that doesn’t take over your life. After 90 days, you’ll know what tests to repeat and marvel at your improvements.
What we cover:
Goals & constraints such as time, stress, travel, family.
Nutrition patterns, hunger triggers, alcohol, added sugars.
Sleep quality & recovery.
Movement & strength plan.
Medications & supplements you may or may not need.
What’s included:
1-hour live phone call
Review of your health data
A 90-day health plan
A roadmap for your primary care team to follow
Follow-up text messages
2) The Core Parts of the Assessment
This is a structured conversation. No diagnoses. No new test orders. We will make sense of your entire health picture to create the right plan for you.
How we assess:
Your health history & what matters most in the next 90 days.
Daily rhythm, meals, activity, sleep, recovery.
Risk snapshot, family history & prior results.
Capacity check, what you can realistically do this week.
Identify your biggest health risks to tackle first.
3) The Most Important Labs & Tests You Should Have
I do not order tests. I help you make sense of the results you already have and suggest what to discuss with your primary care team. The goal is to empower you with the necessary information.
High-value items to review with your clinician:
ApoB for heart health.
HOMA-IR for metabolic status.
ALT, AST for fatty liver risk.
GFR for kidney health.
Blood pressure & waist-to-height ratio.
Body composition by DEXA or a tape measure.
My role:
Translate results into plain language.
Explain what changes decisions versus what is noise.
Prepare talking points for your doctor when medical action is needed.
4) Creating Your 90-Day Action Plan
Data only helps if it changes your routine. We keep it simple and specific. Most of the noise online is not backed by solid science.
Your plan includes:
A daily nutrition target, protein range, and 2 easy food swaps.
2 short strength sessions per week you can do at home.
A wind-down routine and path towards restful sleep.
10-minute walks after meals & a weekly activity goal.
One check-in follow-up on text and 2-4 metrics to track.
After 90 days, we recheck certain tests and track your symptoms to make sure you are on track to meet your health goals. After all, what’s the point of us making these changes if your health doesn’t improve?
5) Is This Visit For You?
You will get value if any of these fit:
You are in your 30s to 50s and want a clear plan for healthy aging.
You have family risk for heart disease, cancer, dementia, or diabetes and want to act now.
Your labs hinted at risk, ApoB or ALT or A1c, and you want next steps.
You are busy and need a plan that respects your time and energy.
You want a physician’s perspective with health-coach support.
Health coaching isn’t right for everyone. But if you have a specific health goal in mind, there’s no other doctor-led session that will give you actionable takeaways.
And if you’ve fallen off the wagon - sometimes you need a few focused sessions to find your rhythm again.
6) Why This is Better Than Your Health Insurance
Insurance visits are useful for screenings and prescriptions. They are not built for long, practical planning.
What you actually get here:
More time, more clarity, and a realistic plan you can follow.
Asking the questions you couldn’t ask your own doctor.
A physician-coach who helps you connect results to daily habits.
A simple checklist to take back to your primary care doctor when medical changes are needed.
A traditional primary care appointment is short and doesn’t leave enough room for a nuanced conversation. Health coaching is specific to you and in-depth.

Mini-FAQ
Do I need all these tests?
Usually, your family history and personal lifestyle tells us a lot more than any blood test or biomarker. But certain tests may be quite important given your history.
Can this be fully virtual?
Yes. All my health coaching is done virtually to help you save time and energy.
Will I need medications?
Medications are tools in clinical medicine. For someone who isn’t able to shift their baseline risks through lifestyle alone, medications may offer incredible results. We can discuss such options during the 1-hour health visit.
How often are follow-ups?
I will help you create a plan that’s good for 90 days. Depending on your health goals and baseline risk you may benefit from more frequent or less frequent follow-up.
Can we use my recent labs?
It’s always best to work with what we have and determine what other information is needed.
What My Patients Have Experienced
ApoB went down by 32 points within 90 days without medication. She will no longer need prescription medication if we can maintain this value.
The fatty liver marker, ALT, completely normalized within 60 days of working together on a better nutrition plan.
Waist-to-height ratio down from 0.58 to 0.48 in 4 months with better sleep, healthier protein targets, and two strength sessions per week. That means, no more snoring or sleep apnea.
