The structured series of consultations ensures thorough investigation, individualized care, and ongoing support.
Visit 1: Comprehensive Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first visit focuses on a thorough initial consultation and assessment. Dr. Lemmon begins by meticulously reviewing the patient’s medical history, including past illnesses, treatments, medications, lifestyle factors, and any previous diagnostic results. He listens attentively to the patient's description of symptoms, paying close attention to the nuances that might offer clues to the underlying cause.
Dr. Lemmon may ask detailed questions about the patient’s diet, environment, stress levels, sleep patterns, and any other factors that could contribute to their condition. This holistic approach ensures that no potential cause is overlooked. The goal of this visit is to gather as much information as possible to guide further investigations.
Visit 2: Functional Lab Testing and Preliminary Findings
In the second visit, Dr. Lemmon reviews the results of any initial tests and introduces a range of functional lab tests designed to dig deeper into the patient's health. These tests might include:
Comprehensive Blood Panels: To assess overall health and identify any anomalies in blood chemistry.
Hormone Testing: To evaluate thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormone levels, which can impact a wide range of bodily functions.
Gut Health Analysis: Including tests for microbiome balance, digestive enzyme levels, and markers of inflammation or infection.
Toxicology Screening: To detect exposure to heavy metals, environmental toxins, and other harmful substances.

Dr. Lemmon explains the purpose of each test and how the results might help pinpoint the cause of the mystery illness. He also provides preliminary findings from any initial tests conducted, offering insights and discussing potential directions for treatment.
Visit 3: Detailed Review of Test Results and Personalized Treatment Plan
The third visit is dedicated to a detailed review of the functional lab test results. Dr. Lemmon interprets the findings, identifying patterns or abnormalities that could be contributing to the patient’s symptoms. With this comprehensive data, he develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to address the specific root causes identified.
The treatment plan may include:
Nutritional Interventions: Dietary changes and specific supplements to correct deficiencies and support overall health.

Dr. Lemmon ensures that the patient understands each aspect of the treatment plan and how it aims to address their symptoms.
Visit 4: Monitoring Progress and Adjusting the Plan
The fourth visit focuses on monitoring the patient’s progress and making any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Dr. Lemmon reviews the patient’s response to the interventions, noting improvements or any persisting issues. He may recommend follow-up tests to track changes in key biomarkers and ensure that the treatment is on the right track.
This visit also provides an opportunity for the patient to discuss any concerns or challenges they’ve encountered. Dr. Lemmon offers additional guidance, support, and modifications to the plan to enhance its effectiveness.
