FAQs

What is functional nutrition?

Integrative and functional nutrition (IFN) investigates the underlying imbalances and root causes of your symptoms & health issues. Therapeutic foods, lifestyle strategies and targeted supplements are utilized to address them. An integrative approach focuses on the whole person, addressing mind, body, and spirit. When working together we won’t just talk about nutrition, but also include other areas that impact health such as stress management, sleep, movement, and mindset.

What if I recently had labs and blood work done with my doctor. Can I use those in our sessions together?

Yes! I will request you to send any recent lab work for review to help direct your care and integrate as part of your protocol. Blood work provides a great deal of key information that can point to imbalances or other things going on in the body, even if you were told your results are normal.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance but I do accept HSA and FSA cards. I can also provide a superbill for each individual nutrition therapy session for you to submit to your insurance. Functional testing is not covered by insurance and superbills are not provided for this service.

How are sessions conducted?

Sessions are conducted via HIPAA compliant telehealth appointments.

How does lab testing work?

Since there is no one size fits all, the specific functional labs are determined after the initial assessment and will be unique to your needs. Most of these tests can be done privately at your own home with the exception of blood work which will require a lab visit for a blood draw.
