FAQ

  • How long does it take to typically see results?

    Small changes in routines and rituals can make big changes in your life! I am here to keep you accountable and support your growth as you grow stronger. The time required to see results can vary and each case is unique. Some problems could be chronic and may take significant time. We will discuss your custom results timeline in our sessions and adapt strategies as needed. Most will notice changes right away.

  • What kind of information do I need to prepare for the introductory consultation?

    Once you pay for a consultation, my first three appointment times will be emailed to you to choose from. Next you will need to download and fill out your health history forms in the patient software app we use called Healthie. This will give me a chance to really get to know you before we meet. Once we receive payment for your lab test (if applicable) will be shipped to you. If you already have labs from last year, we will request those as well.

  • What is Functional Lab Analysis?

    Functional lab testing is an emerging model of health care that identifies mechanisms that are driving your illness and symptoms through lab testing. It is a holistic model that looks at your past and current health history, while considering lifestyle, emotional and genetic factors. This allows us to support you as a unique individual, not just a set of symptoms.

  • How are functional medicine and Chinese medicine related?

    Functional medicine and Chinese medicine both aim to find the root cause of your symptoms, taking into account your environment. They both emphasize a holistic approach that is multifactorial - a thorough understanding of mindset, nutrition, environment and lifestyle.

    Chinese medicine analyses your tongue, pulse and an in depth health history to gain an understanding of your internal bodily systems. Whereas, Functional medicine takes the more modern approach of lab testing and symptomatology to investigate your physiology at a cellular level. Combined they form a powerful partnership to bring you the best healing modalities of east and west.
