Health Packages
“Get to the Root” Tiered Package Options
The Get to the Root Program is designed to provide you with a comprehensive evaluation, plan, and commitment to help dial in the root causes and foundations that need addressing at a deeper level. This program is for serious patients who are looking for accountability and commitment towards transforming their health.
Tier One: Foundations (For General & Foundational Health Optimization)This 6-month program is designed for patients who want to address underlying imbalances, build strong health foundations, and create lasting change. It is ideal for those dealing with digestive concerns, hormone imbalances, fatigue, inflammation, or early signs of chronic issues — but who do not require the intensity of a complex chronic illness program.
Tier Two: Complex Case Program (For Chronic & Multi-System Illnesses such as Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity, Autoimmunity, etc.) This 12-month, high-touch program is designed for patients navigating long-standing, complex health challenges that require deeper investigation, advanced testing, and ongoing, closely monitored care. If you are dealing with chronic infections, environmental toxicity, autoimmunity, or multi-system dysfunction, this program provides the structure, accountability, and expert partnership needed to move forward.
