Questions to Ask Your Doctor
NICE-style decision-aid education: prepare conversations. These lists are not diagnoses, prescriptions, or triage tools.
Before changing meal timing or fasting
- Given my medications and conditions, is time-restricted eating appropriate for me?
- What warning symptoms should prompt me to stop and call you?
- Are there higher-evidence alternatives for my goals?
Before starting a supplement
- Do I have a documented deficiency or indication?
- Could this interact with my prescriptions (e.g., anticoagulants)?
- What dose and duration would you consider—if any?
Before intensifying exercise
- Are there cardiac or orthopedic limits I should respect?
- How should I progress frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT)?
- What symptoms mean I should stop and seek care?
Bringing lifestyle questions to a lab review
- How should I interpret my results in context—not from an app?
- Which lifestyle topics are most relevant to discuss next?
- When should we recheck, and what would change management?
