Pre-visit Medical Testing

An interview with Dr. Sharp will lead to recommendations about tests that can be done in your home in {{lpg_city}} {{lpg_state}} or drawn locally. We recommend the interview happen 6 weeks prior to your stay. Most tests will not be covered by insurance but some may. Results of the tests will lead to recommendations about supplements to be taken during your stay and the diet you eat while with us.

Nutrition Options

  • You will meet with our dietitian to review your diet and discuss future food choices based on your health conditions and individual preferences.
  • You shop and bring your own food and prepare it. There are local restaurants that offer healthy options. There are also good local restaurants in {{lpg_city}} {{lpg_state}}.
  • Based on your medical history our registered dietitian-nutritionist, Nate Kelly will design your meals for the duration of the stay. For individuals that have had pre-visit medical testing performed that included food allergy and sensitivity testing, the menu will reflect our recommendations for what foods to eat and which to avoid. The menu can be offered in one of two ways.
    • We shop and have the food delivered. You will be given recipes for each of your meals and you prepare the meal.
    • Our “Food Fairy” will take Nate’s recommendations and prepare all of your meals. They will be ready on your arrival and all you need to do is warm the meals that call for that preparation.
