How It Works

Your Path to Feeling Like Yourself Again

Functional medicine is different — and that’s the point. Here’s exactly what to expect when you work with us, from your first call to your personalized treatment plan.

Five Steps to Root-Cause Care

Optional: Free Intro Call (15 min)

Not sure if functional medicine is right for you? This optional, no-pressure conversation lets you share what’s going on, ask questions, and see if our approach is a good fit — before committing to an appointment. It’s not required and not always the first step; many patients book directly.

💡 Good to know: No medical advice is given during this call. It’s simply a chance to connect and see if we’re aligned.
1

New Patient Visit (60 min)

This is where the real work begins. Your practitioner reviews your full health history — from birth to now. We talk about symptoms, timeline, diet, lifestyle, stress, medications, family history, and everything conventional medicine glossed over. This visit is thorough by design.

📋 Before your visit: You’ll complete detailed intake forms so we can make the most of our time together. Everything is done online — including the appointment itself via secure video.
2

Comprehensive Testing

Based on your history, your practitioner orders targeted labs — not just a basic blood panel. We’re looking at hormones, thyroid, gut health, inflammation, nutrient levels, mycotoxins, tick-borne infections, and more. The goal is to find what’s actually driving your symptoms.

🔬 How it works: Most labs can be done at a local draw station or from home kits mailed to you. Results typically take 2-3 weeks.
3

Treatment Plan Visit (60 min)

Once your results are in, we walk you through every finding — in plain language, not medical jargon. Then we build your personalized treatment plan together: nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, and if appropriate, prescriptions. You leave with a clear, actionable roadmap.

🤝 Your input matters: This isn’t a “here’s what you’re doing” appointment. We explain the options, discuss the evidence, and make decisions together.
4

Follow-Up Care

Healing isn’t a one-visit process. We schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress, retest labs, adjust your plan, and make sure you’re actually getting better — not just managing symptoms. Our health coaching team is also available for additional lifestyle and dietary support between visits.

📦 Save with packages: Our care packages bundle your visits at a discount, keeping you consistent with your treatment plan — which is the single biggest factor in getting lasting results. Packages mean better outcomes and real savings. View pricing →

Healthcare From Your Couch

🖥️ How Telehealth Works

All appointments are conducted via secure video — from the comfort of your home. No commute, no waiting room, no rushing. You’ll receive a link before your appointment. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera.

📍 Where We Practice

We’re licensed to see patients in Pennsylvania and Florida. As long as you’re located in one of these states, you can receive care from anywhere — your living room, your office, or even while traveling.

🔬 What About Lab Work?

Your practitioner orders labs electronically. Most bloodwork can be drawn at a local Quest or Labcorp. Specialty tests (stool analysis, mycotoxin panels, etc.) are done via at-home kits mailed directly to you with instructions.

Why We Don’t Bill Insurance (And Why That’s Better for You)

We get it — “cash pay” sounds expensive. But here’s the truth: insurance-based medicine is designed for 7-minute visits and generic protocols. We chose a different model so we can give you the care you actually deserve.

More Time With You

Without insurance dictating visit length, we spend 30-60 minutes per appointment — not 7. Your story matters and we give it the time it needs.

🔬

Better Testing

Insurance limits which tests can be ordered. We order the tests you actually need — comprehensive panels that go far beyond standard bloodwork.

🎯

Personalized Plans

No cookie-cutter protocols. Your treatment plan is built around your unique biology, not what an insurance company approves.

💳

HSA/FSA Accepted

You can use your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account to pay for visits — making functional medicine more accessible.

📄

Superbills Provided

We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients get partial coverage back.

📦

Packages Save Money

Our care packages bundle visits at a discount and keep you on a consistent treatment schedule — which leads to better outcomes.

Before You Book

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly — no referral needed. We welcome patients who are looking for a different approach to their health, whether they’ve been through the conventional system or are just getting started.

How long until I see results?

Every patient is different. Most begin noticing improvements within 4-8 weeks. Complex conditions like chronic Lyme or mold illness may take longer. We set realistic expectations and track your progress at every follow-up.

Can I keep my regular doctor?

Absolutely. We complement your existing care — we don’t replace it. Many patients see us alongside their PCP, OB/GYN, or specialist. We’re happy to collaborate with your other providers.
