What to Expect at Your First Visits

A Different Approach to Health and Wellness

At Permen Naturopathic, we believe lasting wellness begins with understanding. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, our approach is designed to help uncover deeper patterns that may be influencing how you feel, function, and respond to stress, nutrition, and daily life.

Our goal is to provide education, support, and a personalized roadmap that helps you better understand your body and make informed choices about your wellness.

This work is collaborative. It is not a quick-fix approach, and it is not designed to replace emergency care, prescription medication management, or your relationship with your medical doctor. Instead, our process is focused on naturopathic wellness support, lifestyle guidance, nutrition, and targeted supplementation when appropriate.

Is Permen Naturopathic Right for You?

Permen Naturopathic may be a good fit if you:

• Are looking for a more holistic approach to your health
• Want to better understand what may be contributing to how you feel
• Are open to nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations
• Are willing to make changes over time
• Understand that meaningful wellness progress takes consistency
• Are ready to invest time, effort, and resources into your health

This may not be the best fit if you are looking for:

• Emergency or urgent medical care
• A replacement for your primary care doctor or specialist
• Prescription medication management
• A quick fix without making lifestyle or nutritional changes
• A one-time appointment with no follow-through

The people who tend to do best with our process are those who are ready to participate, ask questions, follow recommendations, and give their body time to respond.

Understanding the Financial Investment

We believe it is important to be upfront about the investment involved so there are no surprises.

Initial Evaluation

Your initial evaluation consists of two separate visits.

1st Appointment: Initial Consultation
Starting at $595

This includes:

• Initial consultation with Larry
• Metabolic Urinalysis
• Heart Rate Variability assessment
• Preparation for your Report of Findings

Your first appointment is designed to introduce you to the Permen Naturopathic process, review your health history, discuss your goals, and begin identifying patterns that may be impacting your overall wellness.

Please expect this appointment to be approximately 60–90 minutes.

2nd Appointment: Report of Findings
Included as part of your initial evaluation

At your second visit, Larry will review your findings and walk you through a personalized wellness roadmap. This is where your nutritional, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations are discussed in detail.

Please expect this appointment to be approximately 60–90 minutes.

Supplement Investment

In many cases, supplement recommendations are part of the wellness plan.

Supplements are not included in the initial evaluation fee. Because each plan is personalized, the exact cost varies depending on the individual and what Larry recommends.

As a general guideline, many clients should expect to invest approximately $275–$300 per month in supplements for several months, depending on their needs and goals.

This is not intended to be a forever plan. The goal is to support the body over time, help create meaningful change, and adjust recommendations as progress is made.

We believe it is important for prospective clients to understand this upfront. If you are not prepared for an ongoing supplement investment, this may not be the right time to begin care.

What Happens During Your First Visit

Your first visit is a welcoming introduction to Permen Naturopathic and an opportunity for us to better understand your health story.

During this appointment, Larry will:

• Review your intake paperwork
• Learn about your goals, concerns, and current symptoms
• Discuss how naturopathic care may support your wellness objectives
• Begin identifying areas of focus for your personalized plan
• Get Metabolic Urinalysis instructions and prep to complete kit at home then 
• Complete your Metabolic Urinalysis and Heart Rate Variability assessment

Please bring:

• All current medications
• Supplements, vitamins, shakes, or herbal products you are taking
• Any recent relevant health information you would like Larry to review

What Happens During Your Report of Findings

Your second appointment is where everything comes together.

During this appointment, Larry will review your assessment results and provide a clear, customized wellness roadmap based on your needs.

This may include:

• A full explanation of your findings
• Insight into your current wellness patterns
• Nutritional recommendations
• Lifestyle guidance
• Supplement recommendations
• A plan for moving forward

This visit is highly educational and collaborative. You will have time to ask questions, understand the recommendations, and decide whether the plan feels aligned with your goals.

Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-up visits provide ongoing support, refinement, and accountability as your wellness plan develops.

Follow-up appointments may include:

• Reviewing your progress
• Adjusting your protocol
• Discussing new symptoms or goals
• Continuing your long-term wellness plan

Follow-Up Appointments:
In office: starting at $59
Telehealth: starting at $59
Family appointments: starting at $65

Appointments are typically 15–30 minutes.

A Note About Medications and Medical Care

Many people come to Permen Naturopathic because they are looking for a different way to support their health.

However, Permen Naturopathic does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or manage medical conditions. We do not replace your physician, specialist, or emergency medical care.

If you are currently taking prescription medications, working with a medical doctor, or managing a complex medical condition, we encourage you to continue that care. Larry may provide naturopathic wellness education and nutritional support, but any medication changes should be discussed directly with your prescribing physician.

Our Ideal Client

Our process works best for individuals who are ready to take an active role in their wellness.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are open to learning how your body works
• Understand that change takes time
• Are willing to follow through with recommendations
• Are prepared for both appointment and supplement costs
• Want a personalized plan rather than general advice
• Are looking for long-term wellness support, not just temporary relief

The goal is not perfection. The goal is progress, consistency, and education.
