The Essentials Program
The Essentials Functional Medicine and Lifestyle Program is a personalized, root cause approach to your health. During this 6-8 month program, we will work together to explore the underlying mechanisms of your health challenges.
We start with the understanding that your body is perfect and is governed by the principles of nature. By approaching your health from this “new” perspective, we ask a new set of questions that uncover new opportunities to address your concerns. We believe that nothing can fix your body better than it can fix itself. Our goal is to educate, nurture, and remove interference so that you can heal deeply and completely.
This program is ideal for those who want to get to the root cause of:
- Autoimmune conditions
- Chronic pain, inflammation and stiffness
- Chronic Fatigue
- Cognitive decline (brain fog, poor memory)
- Diabetes
- Digestive issues
- Hormone imbalances (Thyroid, PMS, hot flashes, PCOS)
- Insomnia, poor sleep
- Stress / Anxiety / Depression
- Thyroid conditions
The EssentialsPprogram will enable you to finally find the answers you’ve been looking for. We will suggest the right lab testing, explore and address the emotional aspects of your issues, and teach you how to take the best care of yourself (and family) possible.
We love working with motivated patients who are deeply committed to their health.

Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing helps evaluate health on a cellular level. This testing is different from traditional testing because it helps evaluate the root cause(s) of your health challenges instead of just diagnosing you. This testing is done through urine, stool, saliva, and/or blood.
Video Lab Interpretations
Each lab test provides us with detailed clinical data and insight into your cellular function. We want to make sure that you fully understand your lab results and that you can easily share them with your healthcare team if necessary.
Most importantly, the video lab interpretation allows you to become more involved and engaged in your own care. We believe that an informed patient gets much better long-term outcomes and becomes an active participant in their health and wellness.
Direct Lab Pricing
To provide the most affordable care possible, we have made special arrangements with all of our lab vendors to provide you with direct lab pricing. This ensures that you will get the lowest price possible for all lab testing.
Customized Supplement Program
After reviewing your lab results and evaluating your mineral and nutrients demands, we will recommend a personalized supplement program. Our recommendations will include only the highest quality products to create more predictable outcomes.
