Frequenty Asked Questions
Becoming Our Client
Do you accept insurance?
Our coaching and consulting services are not covered by insurance or Medicare. Insurance only covers drugs and surgery that mask symptoms, which is why you are looking for answers here. We use cutting-edge nutritional science, cellular detoxification, and lifestyle change, which is what you’re looking for, in our limited prescription, non-surgical program. For insurance companies, this program is considered above the standard of care, therefore optional and elective. In many cases HSA cards are accepted and welcome! Making this investment in yourself will last a lifetime.
Are the lab tests covered by insurance?
In most cases, functional medicine lab testing is not covered by insurance. If you join our program, you will receive direct pricing on lab test kits, ensuring the lowest price possible.
Do we meet in person?
With our 100% virtual practice, we offer Virtual Health Consultations via Zoom to clients in Virginia. Most lab tests can be ordered to your home and we go over your test results as well as your customized eating plan, supplementation plan, and detoxification plan in the comfort of your own home on your computer, iPad, or smartphone. What more could you want? A comprehensive wellness program in the comfort of your very own home. There may be opportunity for select in person visits in the near future!
Is a primary care physician included in this program?
You must have your own primary care physician. Medical care is not provided by us in an acute setting. To address the root cause of your chronic health problems, we will work closely with you as consultants and coaches in preventive, nutritional, and functional medicine. It is not our intention to replace or substitute the care of a medical doctor, our programs are meant to complement medical care. We also strive to work with your current specialists.
What medications do you prescribe?
We do not treat/ diagnose acute medical conditions. The Functional medicine approach focuses on promoting health and optimizing function through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and detoxification and supplementation. We do occasionally prescribe medication as necessary, but this is not our focus. As you go through our program, please do not stop taking your medication. Your prescribing physician may work with us to reduce or wean you off your medications as your health improves or as you request.

Your Experience and Investment
What is your virtual program like?
To identify the root cause of your symptoms and set a proposed wellness plan, functional medicine lab tests will be ordered after your initial consultation with the provider. During your Report of Findings visit, we will work to determine the cause of your expressed condition and recommend a supplementation program and plan to help you reach your goals.
Over the course of 4-6 months, we will coach and consult with you every step of the way. We educate you so that you can make the decisions for your own health journey. It is our belief that by equipping our clients, they can continue to thrive with minimal assistance for a lifetime.When will I feel better?
The majority of clients feel improvement within the first month! Depending on the severity and complexity of your condition, everyone is different. In the first 4-6 months, we will work closely with you to improve your health, and it may take 6-12 months or longer for more chronic conditions. When the initial program is complete, we will continue to offer support and consultation so that you can stay well and reach your next health goal.
Pay per visit or pay for the program?
