Your Questions, Answered

  • Functional medicine is a systems-based approach to healthcare that asks, “Why are you ill?” instead of just “What disease do you have?”. We focus on identifying and addressing the root-causes of your health concerns by looking at how all the systems in your body are interacting. It is a highly personalized and patient-centered model of care.

  • Our approach is designed to complement, not replace, the care you receive from your primary care provider or specialist. The key difference is our focus. Conventional medicine is exceptional at treating acute disease or trauma. Our functional approach excels at investigating the root cause of chronic, complex health issues. We spend significantly more time with you, listen to your whole story, and use advanced lab testing to create a holistic plan that addresses diet, lifestyle, stress, and nutrient deficiencies, not just symptoms.

  • Not at all. In fact many of our clients come to us simply because they know something is “off”, but they haven’t been given a specific diagnosis. We treat people and their unique patterns of imbalance, not just named diseases/diagnoses. If you are struggling with chronic symptoms, low energy, or just simply want to optimize your health, our approach is for you.

  • We are proud to offer a fully virtual practice, allowing us to work with clients regardless of their location. All consultations are conducted via secure video platform, and functional lab test kits are conveniently shipped directly to your home.

  • From your initial deep-dive consultation, you can get started that same day!

  • ThriveRX is a direct-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. We have opted out of the insurance model because it allows us to provide much higher level of personalized care that is not dictated by insurance limitations.The extended time we spend with you, our systems-based analysis, and our focus on wellness and prevention are not typically covered by insurance plans.

  • Yes, absolutely. Many of our clients use their HSA or FSA, as we can provide you with a detailed invoice that you can submit for reimbursement of consultations, lab tests, supplements, if your plan allows.

  • We believe in transparency. The total investment includes the cost of our memberships, the fees for the advanced functional lab tests, and the cost of your recommended supplements. Because lab testing and supplement protocols are 100% personalized, the exact cost will vary. We will discuss all potential costs with you upfront so you can make an informed decision.

  • This is unique to every individual. Some clients report feeling significant improvements in a matter of a couple weeks, while for others with more complex, long-standing conditions, the process can be more gradual. Our goal is to see you making steady progress over time. Healing is a journey, and. we are committed to supporting you through it.

  • No. Our goal is to use targeted, professional-grade supplements as a short-term tool to help correct deficiencies and restore balance more quickly. The ultimate goal is always to help you get so healthy through food and lifestyle that you need very few, if any, supplements to maintain your well-being.

  • Absolutely not. We believe in a collaborative approach to your health. We encourage you to maintain your relationship with your primary care provider and any other specialists on your team. We are happy to work alongside them (and even have conversations with them) to ensure. you receive the most comprehensive care possible.

  • The best way to understand if our approach is the right fit for you is to have a conversation. Schedule your complimentary, no-obligation call to get your remaining questions answered and take the first step on your path to healing.
