Begin
The introductory consultation is a diagnostic conversation. Dr. Scott will ask about the current state of your reliability system, listen more than she talks, and map the next three concrete moves. There is no cost, no obligation, and no pitch. If the SCOTT Protocol is right for you she will say so. If something else is the better fit, she will say that too.
The Process
A thirty-minute conversation with Dr. Scott. You describe the current state of your health system. She listens, asks the questions a physician would ask in a clinical intake, and offers an initial read on where the protocol would most help. The call is free and confidential.
Within a week, you receive a short written plan — two or three pages — laying out a recommended engagement. This will typically describe one of three paths: a brief protocol intensive, a six- or twelve-month coaching engagement through Executive Wellness Coach, or a retained advocacy arrangement through Scott Health Advisory.
If you choose to proceed, the engagement opens with a full clinical intake. Dr. Scott reviews your history, your most recent labs, your current medications, and the particular pressures of your life. The intake produces your first Personal Health Profile and your baseline Annual Review.
From that point forward, you run the protocol. Dr. Scott is available on the cadence your engagement specifies — monthly for coaching, retained for advocacy, scheduled sessions for the protocol intensive. The goal is not dependence. The goal is for you to operate the loop on your own, with her available when the situation escalates beyond the routine.
Three engagement paths
§ PATH A
For the self-directed adult.
A short engagement — typically three to four sessions over six weeks — designed to install the SCOTT Protocol in a life that is already largely functioning well. Appropriate for leaders who want the operating system without a long-term coaching relationship.
§ PATH B
For sustained behavior change.
A six- or twelve-month engagement through Executive Wellness Coach, combining the SCOTT Protocol with one-to-one coaching. Monthly sixty-minute sessions, asynchronous check-ins, a written Personal Health Vision and Mission. Appropriate where the work is genuinely about change over time.
§ PATH C
For serious diagnosis and complex families.
A retained arrangement through Scott Health Advisory for individuals or families navigating a serious diagnosis, coordinating multiple specialists, or preparing for a high-stakes care transition. Next-day access, twenty-four-hour availability during active episodes.
§ HONEST CRITERIA
The SCOTT Protocol is a demanding operating system. It asks for an hour a quarter and a minute a day, every quarter and every day. That is a modest ask by the standards of a business, but it is a significant ask by the standards of a casual health habit. The protocol is not for the adult who is looking for a quick fix, a supplement regimen, or a branded wellness product.
It is also not a replacement for primary care. If you do not have a physician, the first order of business is not the protocol. It is finding one. The protocol will tell you how. But the protocol cannot substitute for a physician who has your full history and has examined your actual body.
Finally, it is not a mental-health intervention. The principles apply, and the discipline helps, but if you are in an acute mental-health crisis the right call is not to this number. It is to a qualified mental-health professional or, for emergencies, to 988.
The next one costs whatever you decide it is worth. Most clients tell Dr. Scott, months later, that it was the most consequential thirty minutes they had spent on their own behalf in a decade.
