How to Get Started

Schedule and attend a FREE 20 minute phone consultation with Zoie Phillips, MSPA, PA-C, IFMCP, AFMC. This consultation is a great time to share your current health struggles, treatment plan, and health goals. During this conversation, Zoie will share her preliminary thoughts and her comfort level in helping you to achieve your health goals.

If both you and Zoie feel that UpCurrentFM is the right fit, you will be invited to schedule a New Patient Visit (90 minutes). In order to be seen, you will be required to:

-Register for our online patient portal (Cerbo)

-Complete new patient questionnaires at least 1 week before your New Patient Visit

-Sign consent forms

-Optional: upload medical records from the past 1-2 years

Prior to your New Patient Visit with Zoie, Melissa, our Functional Nutritionist and Health Coach, will reach out to you to schedule a FREE 20 minute phone consultation. This consultation is a great time to share more about your current lifestyle factors, such as nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, faith, community, joy, and more. Melissa would love to hear YOUR thoughts about your lifestyle factors and what YOU think is getting in the way of your ultimate healing. During this conversation, Melissa will share her preliminary thoughts on ways she could assist you. She will also share a roadmap of how she could help you to fine tune your lifestyle factors, in congruency with your labs and specialty test results with Zoie. After all, we know that adjusting lifestyle factors are essential to addressing ANY health goal, big or small! Melissa will then invite you to schedule a Nutrition/Health Coaching New Patient Visit with her approximately 1-2 weeks after your New Patient Visit with Zoie.
