WHO THIS IS FOR

You have been working on this a long time on your own

Symptoms that have not resolved

Bloating, reflux, constipation, or discomfort that has followed you for years and returns no matter what you take out of your diet.

Normal labs, and no answer

Your results came back fine and the conversation ended there. You left knowing what you do not have, and no closer to why you feel this way.

Too much information

You have read a great deal online and you trust less of it than you used to. You would like one physician, teaching in order, so the pieces finally connect.

Ready to understand first

You are not looking for one more protocol to follow blindly. You want to understand what your body is doing before you decide what to do about it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What an hour looks like

Dr. Joan teaches one topic for about forty minutes, in plain language, with slides you can actually read. The rest of the hour belongs to your questions. You can write a question ahead of time, ask it live, or simply listen. A good number of members listen for the first few sessions before they say anything at all.

Every other Tuesday
6:30 PM Central, twice a month

PLEASE READ THIS PART

What Office Hours is, and what it is not

Office Hours is health education. It is not medical care, and it is not a replacement for the physician who knows your history.

Sessions teach how the body works. They are not individual medical advice.
Dr. Joan does not diagnose, prescribe, or review your labs in a group setting.
If your question needs your chart and your history, she will say so and point you toward a visit.
Nothing taught here asks you to stop or change a prescribed medication. That belongs with your prescriber.
If you would like your own situation looked at properly, a discovery call with the practice is free. Book a discovery call

QUESTIONS

Questions people ask before they join

What if I cannot make a Tuesday?

Nothing is lost. The replay is posted within 48 hours and it stays in your library permanently. Plenty of members watch mostly replays.

How do I cancel?

From your own account, at any time. No email and no phone call. Your access runs through the end of the month you have already paid for, and there are no partial-month refunds.

What happens after twelve months?

Your founding rate is held for twelve full months from the day you join. After that it moves to the standard rate, and you will hear from us well before it does.

Do I have to be a patient of the practice?

No. Office Hours is open to anyone who wants to learn, and many members are not patients.

Can I ask about my own case?

Not in a group session, and that boundary is there to protect you. If you want your own situation looked at, start with a free discovery call.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. You are welcome to keep your camera off, and you can send your question in writing before or during the session. Sessions are recorded for the replay library.

How is this different from the Gut Health Program?

Office Hours is education in a group. The Gut Health Program is clinical care, with testing, a plan built for you, and time with Dr. Joan one to one. A great many people begin here.

What if I am not good with technology?

You will get one link that never changes, and it works from a phone, a tablet, or a computer. If you get stuck, write to us and someone will walk you through it.

A NOTE FROM DR. JOAN

Most of the women I sit with have been unwell for years before anyone stopped and explained what was actually happening inside them. They were not given bad care. They were given seven minutes.

Office Hours is the room I wish each of them had walked into first. Two evenings a month, no rush and no selling, just the explanation, taught in the order it makes sense. Bring your questions. I will answer the ones that belong in a group, and I will tell you plainly when a question belongs in a visit instead.

I would be glad to have you there.

With care, Dr. Joan
