What can I expect at a Group Visit?
In an intimate group of approximately 8 patients, we will gather in our “food as medicine” kitchen. Dr. Axtell will educate patients on their common health concern and also allow space for individuals to ask questions, share concerns and experiences. The group visits are scheduled as a series of two 75-minute visits that are scheduled approximately four weeks apart.
Patients will work together with the doctor in a hands-on environment to prepare and taste therapeutic foods.
At the end of the visit all patients will leave with a wellness packet that include recommendations for a therapeutic diet, lifestyle interventions, recipes, resources, and supplements
