I look for more efficiency in appts. I’m going this route to have quick appts. With my life I can’t spend a bunch of time discussing things outside of my appt. Maybe I missed an information thing that would have been helpful to get her more info. But I don’t feel like I made any progress. She also made definitive statements about what would work for me without understanding what was going on in my life or my diet. Just said I was doing things incorrectly.
