the same standard
Men's metabolic health
A proper look at weight, waist, energy, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose markers. Testing and follow-up come first. The same safety standard as the rest of the practice.
Metabolic health, assessed properly
Lower energy, a growing waist, blood pressure that has crept up, poorer recovery, or a flat mood are common in midlife, and they are worth a proper conversation. Brett looks at sleep, food, movement, alcohol, training, medicines and the blood tests that explain what is actually going on. The initial consult is 40 minutes, by video.
You will get an honest assessment and a clear explanation. Sometimes the answer is tests, changes to sleep or training, or a referral. Sometimes a medicine is appropriate. It is never something you order by name.
What we will talk about
- Weight, waist and energy.
- Blood pressure, glucose markers and cholesterol.
- Sleep, mood, alcohol and how training is actually going.
- Blood tests before treatment, unless recent results already answer the question.
- Your relationship with food and any history that would make a weight-focused plan unsafe.
- Follow-up over time, with the same Nurse Practitioner, and a point at which treatment should be reduced or stopped.
Cortex does not market particular treatments, and it does not issue a prescription without an assessment. If that is all you want, this practice will not be a good fit, and that is all right. The safety standard is the same one used for every patient.
How monitoring works
Blood tests are requested before a treatment decision. Follow-ups are 20 minutes, at the fee on the fees page, so results can be explained and the plan adjusted. You can use any pharmacy if a prescription is written. There is no delivery program and no partner pharmacy.
Other health concerns can be raised in the consult. They are assessed in context. They are not a menu, and they are not a reason to skip the metabolic work.
You need a private space for the video call. Your GP still matters, especially for examinations and problems that cannot be assessed on a screen. Brett can write to them with your consent.
Bring the questions. We'll bring the tests.
If you want a monitored plan for metabolic health and you will do the follow-up, book the initial video consult.
