Not included
Optional add-on
Whether a panel is appropriate is decided at your intake, not at booking. If you add this and it turns out not to be appropriate for you, the $200 is refunded.
These are the panels I reach for most often. Only one is included in the $775 option — which one, if any, is decided at your intake once I have your full history, and laboratory fees are paid directly to the laboratory.
A dried urine panel showing sex hormones and their metabolites, plus cortisol measured across a full day.
When it helps: When cycle changes, perimenopause symptoms or stress patterns don’t line up with a single blood draw.
What DUTCH showsA DNA-based stool analysis identifying bacteria, yeast, parasites and pathogens, alongside markers of digestion and gut inflammation.
When it helps: When gut symptoms persist and the cause isn’t clear.
What GI-MAP measuresA comprehensive stool panel weighted toward how well you are breaking food down and absorbing it, plus inflammation and the broader microbiome.
When it helps: When digestion and absorption are the open question rather than infection.
How the two differA urine panel reading metabolic byproducts — B vitamin status, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter turnover and yeast markers.
When it helps: Fatigue and cognitive symptoms without a clear source on standard labs.
What OAT is useful forAn expanded blood draw going well beyond a routine panel — fasting insulin and HbA1c, ApoB and lipoprotein(a), hs-CRP and homocysteine, full iron studies, a complete thyroid panel with antibodies, B12, folate and vitamin D.
When it helps: When standard labs came back “normal” but the picture still doesn’t fit. Often billable to insurance at a conventional laboratory.
Measures vitamin, mineral and antioxidant status inside the cell rather than in serum, which can read differently from a standard blood level.
When it helps: Suspected deficiencies, restricted diets, malabsorption, or a long supplement list that isn’t landing.
Looks at inherited variants affecting detoxification, methylation, nutrient metabolism and how you process certain medications.
When it helps: Occasionally useful for explaining a persistent pattern or guiding a nutrient choice. Genetics are not a diagnosis and rarely change day-to-day care on their own — I read them alongside your history and symptoms, never in isolation.
Some functional tests are not used for conventional diagnosis. I interpret results alongside your history, symptoms and standard labs — no single test explains every symptom.
Part of what I am working out during your review is how much support your situation actually calls for. For some people that is a short, focused list to carry out on their own. For others it is three or six months of structure, testing and follow-up, because the pattern is layered and will not shift in one go. By the end of your Review of Findings you will know which one you are — and why.
Your $575 review fee credits toward either one when you enroll within 60 days of your Review of Findings — so the review is a step into the program, not a separate cost.
Understand what is driving your symptoms, what to address first, and how much support it calls for.
When the picture is clear but needs consistent follow-through to actually change.
How Reset worksWhen several systems are involved and the pattern is long-standing or layered.
How Rebuild worksAnd if what you need is an ongoing provider rather than a program, that is a real answer too. Integrative primary care membership
Full credit terms, including how specialty-panel laboratory costs are applied, are in the questions below. The credit does not apply to membership.
Yes — that is who it is designed for. A complex history is usually the reason nobody has had time to read it all together. The review sets aside a full hour for your story and a separate block of my time between visits to work through your records and results as one picture. If your symptoms are new, severe or changing quickly, prompt conventional evaluation comes first.
No. The review works from the records and lab results you already have, so bring whatever you can gather. If foundational labs would genuinely change my recommendations I may suggest them, but they are not required for everyone, and testing is never automatic here. Any laboratory testing is billed separately.
No — completing a review doesn’t enroll you in anything, and your recommendations are yours either way. It is designed as a starting point, though: many patients use it to work out whether Reset or Rebuild is the right next step, and your $575 is credited toward either if you enroll within 60 days of your Review of Findings.
If you enroll in Reset or Rebuild within 60 days of your Review of Findings, your $575 Root Cause Review fee is credited toward your program fee. If you completed the Advanced Specialty Panel option, the laboratory cost of that panel is also credited, up to the included laboratory amount of the program you enroll in ($400 for Reset or $800 for Rebuild) — and that panel then counts as one of your program’s included tests. The credit does not apply to membership.
The fee is due in full when you book your intake, and it covers the whole review including my work between visits — it is not a per-visit charge. If you cancel 48 or more business hours before your intake you receive a full refund; later than that, a refund less a $100 administrative fee. Once your intake has happened the fee is non-refundable, and test kits are non-refundable once ordered. Functional medicine is self-pay; your conventional labs and medical care continue to be billed to insurance when eligible — how payment and insurance work.
About six weeks end to end for most patients. Please schedule your intake within 30 days of purchase, and complete the review within 90 days of that intake — visits not used within that window expire. If you add specialty testing, laboratory processing time can extend things; if recommended labs aren’t completed within 45 days of your intake, I go ahead with your Review of Findings using what is available rather than leave you waiting.
No. It includes your two appointments and your personalized written recommendations. Supplement protocols, advanced functional testing, messaging between visits and continued reassessment are not included — those belong to Reset, Rebuild, or membership primary care.
Take time to understand your health and your options before deciding what comes next.
