The model of diagnosing and treating conditions is what the current medical model does. The holistic or functional medical model, which is the model that Functional Medicine For Life teaches, does not treat or diagnose specific conditions, rather we look for root causes underneath why you are having your symptoms and dysregulation, so that we can understand how to best address the underlying issues.
Functional Medicine For Life consults through video (Zoom) and by phone. We can see people ALL over the United States and even the world! This gives us the ability to have a private face-to-face conversation no matter where you are.
We have lab kits shipped directly to you. Our clients love the virtual model because they can have their appointments from anywhere. From home, their office, and even their car!
During your first visit we will be able to recommend which labs would be best to do as a next step or we can get you started right away in your healing journey with one of our proprietary programs (that includes labs, appointments, support, online lifestyle & environment mastery course, and much more). Most clients want to start their healing now and we can help you get started right away.
Unfortunately, the insurance model does not recognize this type of health care. The current medical system that is under the coverage of health insurance is a ‘Diagnose and Treat’ model where the treatments typically consist of a pharmaceutical to cover the symptom, or surgery. The holistic or functional model of health does not diagnose nor does it treat. Therefore our model does not fall under insurance coverage. However, in some instances based on your FSA / HSA account, costs may qualify for reimbursement.
Specialty labs are often not covered by insurance; however, some insurance plans may reimburse a portion. We are not involved in billing for labs. You may be able to use funds from an HSA to cover the costs of these tests as well.
For most labs, lab kits are shipped directly to you. Some functional lab tests are typically done at home by saliva, urine or stool, and some require blood work. We will direct you to the lab that coordinates that.
By joining our program you have access to direct pricing on lab test kits, which ensure you pay the lowest price possible. Labs can range in price from a couple hundred dollars up to a few thousand. We will always discuss with you lab options and recommendations based on your history, previous labs, and what health issues you are experiencing.
Using the right labs are a critical component to uncovering the root causes, especially when we see “normal” test results from traditional blood work.
Functional Labs are ordered through companies such as Genova Diagnostics, Vibrant, Doctors Data, Cyrex, Dutch testing, and others. We look to uncover root causes and biochemical imbalances such as food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, infections, detoxification status, mitochondrial function, methylation, inflammation status, heavy metals, toxins, GI digestion and absorption as well as bacterial and fungal overgrowth, genetics, hormone function and more depending on each case.
