Frequently Asked Questions

Answers To Commonly Asked Questions

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is a science-based approach that addresses the root causes of health conditions and illnesses rather than just treating symptoms. We analyze your body's systems as an interconnected whole, using advanced blood work analysis and targeted protocols with vitamins, minerals, herbs and oils to optimize your cellular health and restore vitality. This comprehensive method helps address issues like premature aging, low energy, brain fog, weight gain and many other chronic health concerns.

Do you become my primary care provider?

No. We work as a complement to your primary care provider, not a replacement. While we focus on optimizing your cellular health and addressing root causes through natural protocols, your primary care provider remains essential for acute care, regular check-ups, and medical emergencies. Many clients find that our approach enhances their overall healthcare experience by providing additional insights and support for optimal wellness.

Is functional medicine covered by

insurance?

Currently, most insurance companies do not cover functional medicine services. However, we strive to make our programs affordable and accessible by:

  1. Offering various financing and payment options.

  2. Providing clear pricing upfront.

  3. Focusing on value-driven protocols Including comprehensive support with your program.

  4. Some clients may be able to use HSA/FSA accounts or submit claims for blood work through their insurance.

Who can benefit from functional medicine services?

Our approach is particularly beneficial for individuals who:

  1. Feel dismissed when their blood work comes back "normal" despite ongoing symptoms.

  2. Experience signs of premature aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.

  3. Struggle with decreased energy, mental fog, weight gain and reduced physical strength.

  4. Want to prevent illness and maintain optimal health.

  5. Seek natural solutions for chronic health concerns.

  6. Are tired of being offered medications that only mask symptoms.

How does lab work help create protocols for me?

While standard medical practices often only flag "abnormal" results using western medicine accepted norms, which are much more broad allowing for dysfunction to continue until there is enough to provide a "diagnosis" or "chronic medical condition."

We examine your blood work through a functional lens, looking for patterns and imbalances that can affect your cellular health and aging process long before any "diagnosis".

A detailed blood work analysis allows us to:

  1. Identify subtle imbalances before they become major issues or illnesses at all.

  2. Create targeted protocols specific to your needs and challenges.

  3. Monitor your progress effectively on a more regular basis.

  4. Adjust protocols based on your body's response.

    Blood work analysis is helpful in developing effective protocols, though it is not required to get started. We can use any blood tests you have already done in the past.
