Allopathic medicine operates out of a completely different paradigm than functional medicine. Allopathic medicine focuses on the name of the disease and implements a one-size-fits-all approach that centers around symptom management and pharmaceutical drugs. This is fine for acute care or emergency interventions to help you feel better in a traumatic or life-threatening situation. However, in long-term chronic care circumstances, treating a disease through symptom management never leads to true healing and can often end up exacerbating the problem.

We are all allotted the same amount of time in a day, and that time passes whether you’re healthy or sick. Few things are more wasteful than time spent managing an illness or disease. Think of all the hours spent online researching your illness or sitting in a doctor’s waiting room for a 15-minute visit. When you don’t feel well, you’re also less productive at work, and that can impact your finances – which leads to more time wasted spent worrying about your bottom line.

This is the biggest misconception about functional medicine – primarily because we’ve been conditioned to expect insurance to pay for everything. In doing so, we have unwittingly ceded control of our wellness over to the lowest bidder – at the expense of our own health. In reality, functional medicine is cost effective, affordable form of healthcare, especially when you consider that the average person spends more money in their lifetime in the allopathic model managing a disease or illness without ever truly healing.

We live in the era of information, and the entirety of the world’s knowledge is available at your fingertips. Yet the most valuable information you need for true healing is the knowledge of what’s going on inside your body, and until now you weren’t allowed to access this information without the permission of your doctor or insurance company. The Vibrance for Life® team is trained to ask you the right questions and order the right lab testing to provide you with a deeper insight into your personal health challenges and how to overcome them.

Yes! Initial physician and follow up visits with the MD can be done remotely if you are physically in NY, NJ, PA or FL and lifestyle, nutrition and stress management coaching sessions can be done remotely regardless of where you are. Lab test kits can be mailed to you and performed in the privacy of your own home, then mailed back to the lab along with your sample(s). Once we receive your results from the lab, we will email you a link to a brief video interpretation of your results followed by a one hour appointment to go over them in greater detail. Appointments with any Vibrance for Life® team member can be done from the comfort of your own home or office via phone, or HIPAA compliant video software from virtually anywhere in the world. 

Yes! Labs are a vital part of the process in uncovering hidden malfunctions, discovering healing opportunities, and getting to the root cause of your health issues. Without the data and information that labs provide us, we would just be guessing what’s wrong with you. We don’t guess…we test.
