FAQ

Am I a good fit for this?

There are very few health conditions we cannot help. However, there are many other aspects that make a person a good fit for care with us, so not everyone will be accepted.  The team will determine if you are a candidate for care based on your initial case review and you will also have the chance to decide if our approach is what you are looking for before you move forward. Even if you reside outside of Central Illinois, you can still become a patient.

Do I need to stop taking my medications?

Our Practitioners do not prescribe or un-prescribe medications. When your condition improves, you may discuss stopping medications with the prescribing doctor as there is no need to cover symptoms that no longer exist.

Can my medical doctor order the tests?

Most medical doctors do not treat the functional causes of disease as we do.  They, therefore, would have little knowledge of or reason to order these specialized tests.

Will my insurance cover this care?

The short answer is no. The long answer is that our approach is structured much differently than what you experience within the current conventional medical system. Our goal is to get your body to the point of health and wellness that allows you to thrive and not stay under care or on medications indefinitely. As you might understand, this type of care will not be covered by a standard insurance carrier. If we were to change our approach in order to participate directly in that system, we would have to lower our standards of care and would not be able to create the impactful, positive outcomes that we are committed to providing. 

How much do treatments cost?

Initial Consultations, including Virtual and In-Person visits, are always at no charge.
As the Functional Lab Testing performed and length of care vary due to individual health concerns and findings, the complete cost of care can also vary from one person to the next. After a review of your case,we will determine the course of care for your specific needs and go over the time and cost commitments with you prior to starting the program.
