Built on the ROOT Framework

• R
  Reveal: What’s Going On Check off symptoms like nausea, GI issues, fatigue, injection-site reactions, mood shifts, and stigma or shame around using the medication, then note any patterns with dose increases or missed doses.
• O
  Offer: Your Observations Describe how your body is responding using specific, fact-based language, and list your questions about symptoms, dose, labs, or coverage.
• O
  Outline: What You Need Define what you need from this appointment — a titration schedule, GI side-effect management, nutrition support, insurance help, or culturally competent care free of weight bias.
• T
  Take Note & Follow-Up Record what your provider said, any changes to your dose or labs, and your follow-up actions so nothing falls through.

Also includes a Dose & Symptom Log for tracking patterns over time, plus a sample advocacy script you can read straight from, so you always know exactly what to say.
