Why didn’t my doctor tell me about this?
Being cleared is not the same as being prepared.
Pre-op visits are built for clearance
Pre-op visits are tightly focused on medical clearance, anesthesia evaluation, and immediate procedural safety—rarely leaving time for lifestyle, nutrition, or physical conditioning.
Cleared vs. prepared
Clearance confirms you are medically safe to undergo surgery; preparation builds the physical and nutritional reserve you need to heal and recover.
The science exists. The delivery doesn’t.
Prehabilitation is supported by thousands of clinical trials (ERAS, surgical oncology, orthopedics), but busy hospital systems don't have the staffing to deliver it to every patient.
What you can do at home
The GlowWell® Surgical Readiness System brings that preparation home: PREP™ Nutrition for the nutrition side, and the READY Guide for daily actions before and after surgery. Share the Clinical Ingredient Passport with your care team, and always follow their instructions.
