News Brief: Connecticut Family Nurse Practitioner Addresses Chronic Symptoms with Patients

LKOptimal Wellness has launched, accepting new patients throughout Connecticut for telehealth functional medicine appointments. For individuals experiencing chronic and vague symptoms without clear answers after a standard workup, this is an opportunity to meet with Katherine Del Prato, a board-certified family nurse practitioner, for a foundational assessment appointment. Learn what is driving the chronic symptoms. Be empowered to take the necessary steps to heal naturally and prevent disease.

Patients will pursue a comprehensive lab panel to assess for nutritional deficiencies, signs of inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. The lab panel includes biomarkers that are not often included in a standard lab panel. An appointment will then take place with Del Prato for a 90-minute, in-depth conversation reviewing the patient’s history from birth and discussing advanced lab results.

Recommendations will include actionable steps that can be implemented immediately to up-level your health and improve symptoms. A customized plan will address the following areas: nutrition, exercise, stress, mindfulness, detox, supplement recommendations and guidance for long-term follow-up care. Included is access to the practitioner via the portal and educational handouts. Membership options exist for individuals seeking long-term follow up care and accountability. Del Prato is offering a Gut Health Masterclass on April 19 at 7 p.m. Sign up at LKOptimalWellness.com.
