What to Expect During Your First Visit at YNC
Clinic visits shouldn’t be confusing, endless, or leave you with vague answers. At Young Naturopathic Center for Wellness, we do it differently.
From your first visit, our licensed doctors take the time to listen, provide you with clear answers, and a precise plan tailored to your needs. During your initial one-hour consultation, we cover your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and goals.
Using a systems-based, root-cause approach, we explore how interconnected systems may impact your health. Sometimes it’s surprising because your body can react in weird ways to your health and the environment.
Every treatment plan is hyper-personalized and is backed by advanced diagnostics and modern therapies to help you optimize your energy, vitality, and longevity.

Why Do Patients Visit YNC?
People visit YNC for different reasons. But most fall into three categories:
Get Answers and Identify Root Causes of a Specific Health Concern
Sometimes your body starts sending confusing signals. Common concerns include:
- Low energy or fatigue (coffee only goes so far)
- Digestive issues
- Skin, hair, or weight changes
- Stress, recurring infections, or sexual health challenges
- Chronic pain
- Mental confusion
We use our clinical knowledge of what the diagnosis may be from listening to you, combined with targeted testing, to identify the cause and create a plan tailored to your needs.
Whether you are interested in dealing with a specific problem, like weight gain, hair loss, getting nutritional support with IV therapy and supplements, or you truly feel lost and can’t tell what the issues may be, we can help.
Feel Well Again and Stay on Track
You might look okay, but something still feels off. It could be a hormonal imbalance, chronic pain, or an issue affecting your energy, sleep, and mood.
We start by listening deeply and using a functional medicine approach to get to the core of your issues. We can identify problems that other doctors may ignore through advanced testing and years of experience.
It may be that you have an underlying autoimmune condition, a chronic viral illness like Lyme Disease or Long Covid, or simply a nutritional deficiency related to your genetics and gut health.
Whatever it is, after using our advanced diagnostics and identifying the issue, we can help restore balance through personalized treatments. This might be through medications, supplements, and therapies – or by recommending lifestyle changes that medicine often ignores – alongside ongoing follow-up.
This helps to maintain results and prevent future flare-ups, so you’re no longer fading during Zoom calls or struggling to live life on your terms.

Optimize Longevity, Performance, and Vitality
Some people want to maximize their health, performance, and vitality, reflecting Dr. Young’s Live Young philosophy of proactive wellness and longevity.
We assess baseline health markers, including:
- Epigenetic testing
- Underlying cardiovascular risks
- Cellular & biological age
- VO2max exercise capacity & metabolic function
- Body composition
- Important healthspan markers like grip strength
We can use all of this information to look at what your body is missing, what your genetics tell us you need, and what’s holding back your potential. This helps to create a personalized plan using some of our advanced longevity treatments.
This may include NAD therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, peptides, and lifestyle strategies to maintain your vitality, enough to outperform colleagues on the treadmill.
Understanding why you’re here helps us tailor how we approach your treatment from the very first visit.
Regardless of the reason, your first visit begins with a one-hour consultation, followed by testing, personalized treatments, and ongoing follow-up, tailored to your goals.
How We Build Your Personalized Treatment Plan
The Initial Consultation (1 Hour)
We take a systems-based look at your health instead of focusing on a single symptom. Together, we cover:
- Full medical history to understand past treatments and patterns
- Symptoms, lifestyle, sleep, stress, diet, and performance goals, plus all the little details you probably forgot to mention….
- Targeted diagnostics to find the cause using advanced, evidence-based tests
Advanced Testing and Diagnostics
We go beyond symptom management to find what’s limiting your energy, performance, and vitality.
Our advanced labs may include:
- Comprehensive labs, including metabolic, thyroid, immune, and genetic markers, to detect imbalances early.
- VO2 max and PNOE metabolic testing to see how efficiently your heart, lungs, and metabolism are working, so we can fine-tune exercise, recovery, and nutrition.
- Hormone panels, such as cortisol, sex hormones, and thyroid, to explain fatigue, stress, low libido, or stubborn weight changes.
- Gut and nutrition assessments, including stool, breath, food sensitivity, and Nutreval® tests, to find digestive issues, nutrient gaps, or toxin exposures.
- Inflammatory and metabolic markers such as glucose, insulin, cytokines, and thyroid panels to track energy regulation and long-term health.
Turning Your Data Into a Personalized Plan
Every treatment plan is built from your test results, lifestyle, and goals, addressing all your health concerns so nothing is left behind.
We create a complete, actionable roadmap that helps you feel energetic, function at your best, and make lasting improvements, without asking you to “just try harder.”
What Your Treatment Plan May Include
Foundational Support
We may offer tailored diet plans, supplements, and VO2 max–based exercise plans to maximize your energy and performance.
Targeted Nutrients
- NAD+ therapy for deeper cellular support or a quick IM injection if you’re short on time. Both options help boost energy, brain function, and recovery from stress.
- IV therapy with nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione, amino acids, and more to keep your immune system and metabolism from slacking off.
Performance and Recovery
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): Delivers oxygen to your cells to support repair, reduce inflammation, and restore energy. Pairing it with our testing and VO2 max insights or functional medicine approach maximizes long-term wellness and recovery.
- Ozone therapy: Uses oxygen’s anti-inflammatory and restorative properties to boost energy, support healing, and improve overall wellness.
- Prolozone therapy: Targets joint and tissue pain, speeds repair, and strengthens soft tissue, so you can move like you used to… without the creaks.
Hormonal and Sexual Health
- Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy: Plant-based hormones that restore balance, energy, and libido.
- Emsella therapy is a non-invasive and FDA-approved treatment for incontinence and sexual dysfunction to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. (The ultimate workout for the muscles you forgot existed!)
Regenerative Therapies
- Facial rejuvenation with microneedling and exosomes speeds cellular repair and improves overall skin tone and texture.
- Non-surgical hair restoration using exosomes, laser therapy, and nutrition help regrow and strengthen hair. (No more hiding under hats or hoodies)
- Targeted peptide therapy supports energy, recovery, metabolism, cognition, and overall wellness.
We prioritize treatments that are relevant to your needs and goals.
Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment
At YNC, we track health markers including metabolic panels, VO2 max results, hormone levels, nutrient status, and inflammation markers to measure your body’s performance.
