As a busy work at home Mom of two busy teen daughters, it can sometimes be a challenge to find the time to visit a doctor when I’m not feeling well. If it’s my daughter’s or my husband- I make the time, but for myself?
The internal dialog starts- how will I find the time- or make up the time I’d spend waiting to be seen at a traditional doctor or urgent care office? What if I get somebody else sick for what could be “just a cold? What about the cost? I’m sure this internal dialog sounds familiar to several of my readers. I may have the perfect solution so all can be well for you and your family- online doctor visits with Amwell.
I recently was asked to try out Amwell and share my thoughts with you here and I must confess I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and responsive the Amwell website is. It is very easy to navigate, which is a huge plus if you aren’t feeling your best- or worse- you’ve got a sick kiddo and you want answers ASAP.
After you set up an account, Amwell will remember your information for your next visit. You will be prompted to enter your insurance on the next screen. I did run into a bit of a hiccup here- they didn’t list my exact Insurance carrier. I was able to skip that until later; which was such a relief because if I’m not well, or I’m in a high stress situation, the very last thing I want stopping me from getting help is an insurance number.
On the next screen, Amwell lets you choose who in your family has the problem. Once you choose an option, another screen will come up allowing you to either use their symptom checker (which I found very helpful), or move forward and choose a doctor to speak with.
Before you’re able to connect and talk with an online doctor, the site will ask you to check if your computer is able to see and hear the doctor. Please note- you may have to update your browser at this point, like I did, to get Amwell to work! That was a bit of a time set back, but a necessary one.
Once you have your computer set up to ensure an optimum doctor visit, you’ll pick your doctor from the ones listed for your area of need. All Amwell doctors are board certified and educated in the United States. I had a nutrition question, so several nutritionists were made available for me to choose from.
Here’s a video to show you just how an online doctor visit at AmWell may work for you.
I was thoroughly impressed with the process from beginning
to end and think having an online doctor visit is an excellent option for those
times when getting to your regular doctor isn’t a convenient option, like if
you are your child has the flu, or your super senior has an ache or pain that
they would like to discuss .
Another thing I really like about Amwell is their upfront
pricing. They show you right on the homepage, what you can expect to pay for
each of the services they provide.
I invite you to
learn more about Amwell, and their mission to provide quality medical advice
online by visiting their website here and following them on Facebook.
As we enter the dreaded cold and flu season, I’m pleased to be able to offer my
readers a code for a $1.00 visit to an Amwell online doctor of your choosing.
Just enter this code CARENOW14 at check out and you are set.
Please share in comments: Who would you most likely use this
service for- yourself so you don’t miss work, or a loved one?
We all know that feeling- the dull ache in the back of your
head, the itchy nose, and the tickle in your throat. I woke up to all those on
Sunday morning, but refused to name it. By Tuesday, I was waving the white flag
and admitting I had a cold. I have zero energy and appetite by this time, but
thankfully, I had received a complimentary bundle of Greens Plus superfood powders and energy
bars to try and I am really thankful I did!
Greens Plus products are non-gmo, gluten, soy, dairy free and have been helping people live healthier happier lives
since 1989. Since my cold was making me feel anything but healthy or happy, I
decided to give their energy bar and Advanced Multi wild berry superfood powder
a try.
Why try something new while suffering with a cold? Because Greens
Plus has incorporated into their proprietary blend so
many nutritionals that target the total body organs and cells. Literally, it is
hard to find a competitor who would do the same and I needed to give my body
some much needed nutritional help pronto!
Greens Plus bars are thick and
dense and quite tasty. Even with a cold. I really loved the dark chocolate
energy plusbar with dates, almond butter and superfood greens. Greens Plus says the food from Greens Plus
when consumed delivers quick satiety results by feeding the body on the
cellular levels and delivering the so needed energy to do what we need on the
daily basis and I completely agree. After eating just one bar, I felt full and
had a bit more energy.
You know how hard it is to stay
hydrated when you are battling a cold, so later in the evening; I decided to
give their Advanced Multi Wild Berry superfood powder a try. I wanted to really
taste this blend, so I’d know what type of smoothie it would work best in, so I
mixed it in water, shook it up in the handy Greens Plus shaker cup and said
bottoms up!
Trust me, it tastes a lot better
than this color makes you think it would. I was able to drink almost the whole
8 ounces in record time, so I know adding it to a smoothie, or blending it into
a favored juice will be an easy way for me to add superfood goodness to snacks
and drinks in the future.
If you want to bounce back from a
cold faster, or just add a healthy dose of targeted nutrition for the total
body, I invite you to learn more about Greens Plus, by visiting their website and
by looking for their products at these retailers.

Thanks to lots of rest and the healthy boost I’m getting from Green Plus
products, I’m feeling much better today and hope to have this cold gone by tomorrow.
From our home to yours we wish you a very happy, safe, healthy Halloween!
