Can Dr. Andrea review my Journey lab results?
Absolutely! While you don't need to become a patient to order labs through Journey, if you'd like a personalized functional medicine interpretation of your results, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Andrea. She looks beyond whether a lab is simply "normal" by identifying patterns, optimal ranges, and how your results relate to your symptoms and overall health.
Why should I check my bloodwork if I feel healthy?
Many chronic conditions, including insulin resistance, prediabetes, nutrient deficiencies, and thyroid dysfunction, can develop long before noticeable symptoms appear. Routine bloodwork helps establish a baseline, monitor changes over time, and identify potential concerns early, when lifestyle and nutrition interventions may be most effective.
How often should I have wellness bloodwork?
For most adults, annual wellness bloodwork is a great way to monitor overall health. Depending on your medical history, symptoms, medications, or health goals, more frequent testing may be appropriate.
Is Journey by Fullscript a replacement for my primary care provider?
No. Journey by Fullscript is a wellness screening service and is not intended to replace routine medical care or emergency treatment. Continue seeing your primary care provider for preventive care, medical concerns, and recommended screenings. Journey is designed to complement your healthcare by providing convenient access to wellness laboratory testing.
