Integrative Medicine Consults
A Different Kind of Visit
An integrative medicine consult is an unhurried appointment built around understanding the whole picture. Rather than addressing one symptom in isolation, Dr. Forbes looks at how your history, sleep, nutrition, stress, emotional help, and lab work fit together, and where the pattern actually begins.
Her training is conventional, and she practices it alongside acupuncture, Ayurvedic marma therapy, integrative aesthetics, and lifestyle medicine.
This approach is especially helpful when you have been told your labs look normal but you still do not feel like yourself, or when you are managing several concerns that seem connected but have never been looked at together. Fatigue, digestive trouble, poor sleep, and changes in mood often share roots that a quick visit simply does not have time to find.
Dr. Forbes sees patients of all ages at her Phoenix practice. Whether you are dealing with something long standing or simply want a clearer understanding of your health, a consult gives you a physician who has the time and the training to look at every part of the picture.
What to Expect
Consults are longer than a standard appointment because the conversation needs room. You will be asked about things a typical visit skips.
Lifestyle medicine is incorporated into every consult. Depending on what emerges, your plan may also involve acupuncture, marma therapy, gentle herbal support, or referral when that is the right call. Consults can be booked as a stand-alone service without a membership.
Before your visit, it helps to gather any recent lab results, a list of your current medications and supplements, and a few notes on the symptoms that concern you most. During the consult, Dr. Forbes will listen closely, ask detailed questions, and explain her thinking as she goes, so you understand not only what she recommends but why.
You will leave with a clear plan and a sense of what comes next, whether that is lab work, a follow up visit, or a specific therapy. For many patients, this is the first time their health has been looked at as one connected whole.
One appointment that looks at the whole picture rather than one symptom at a time.
