Surgical Protocol - Post-Op Only
Surgical Protocol - Post-Op Only
Problem
Assuring proper nutrition around surgery is both a heavy lift and a tough ask, not only for the surgeon, but also the patient. Health professionals are focused on providing the most quality procedure possible, and patients' lack of appetite and willingness adds another layer of difficulty.
Solution
An end to end supplement protocol that targets both cortisol levels and inflammation, assuring proper nutrition, dosages, and timing of nutrients to maximize the efficacy of the procedure and shorten recovery time.
