Doing a pre and post assessment is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of a detoxification protocol. It provides a baseline for comparison, allowing individuals to determine whether they have experienced any changes in their health and well-being as a result of the protocol.
The pre-assessment can help identify any underlying health issues or symptoms that may be exacerbated by the detox protocol. It also helps determine the individual’s current health status and provides a reference point for comparison after the detox is completed.
The post-assessment provides an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the detox protocol and identify any areas that may need improvement. It allows individuals to assess the changes that have occurred as a result of the detox, including improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, digestion, and other health markers.
Complete the questions before before and after completion of the detoxification protocol.
Make sure to also complete the “review of systems” questionnaire before and after the protocol.
