Your second appointment is your Report of Findings. Before this visit, your practitioner carefully reviews the information gathered during your initial consultation and creates a personalized holistic plan based on your health needs. During the appointment, they will walk you through your recommendations, explain the reasoning behind the plan, discuss your expected timeline for healing, and outline the next steps. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss supplement costs, any recommended lab testing, and what to expect as you move forward. 

Before your first visit, your practitioner reviews your extensive health history questionnaire, which provides valuable insight into your symptoms, health background, and areas of concern. The 30 minute appointment allows time to clarify details, ask targeted questions, and gather any additional information needed to create your personalized recommendations before your second appointment.Your practitioner is looking for specific answers: trends, timelines, what therapies worked in the past, the severity of your symptoms, and how long you have had them. We know some people have dozens of symptoms and from these we understand what organs and systems need help and why.  

The week between your appointments allows your practitioner time to thoroughly review your health history and prepare your personalized recommendations. Your initial appointment is focused on gathering additional information and clarifying your health concerns, while your second appointment is your Report of Findings, where your practitioner presents your personalized plan. 

Our practitioners create personalized supplement recommendations based on your individual health history, symptoms, and lab results. Because every protocol is tailored to your unique needs, there is no one-size-fits-all supplement plan. On average, clients can expect to invest $100–$350 per month for their supplement protocol, though costs usually start low, rise, then lower again. The costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and your health goals. 

We use a combination of professional-grade supplements, including whole food supplements, herbs, glandulars, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, and other targeted support. Since every person is unique, your supplement plan will be tailored specifically to you rather than following a standard protocol.

The length of your program depends on your individual health history, goals, and the complexity of your case. It takes an average of 6 months to 2 years to get your health back but some people need more time. The biggest barriers that prevent a speedy healing include consuming sugar, alcohol, or bad foods, constant re-exposures to environmental toxins such as living in moldy building, and some medications. During your Report of Findings appointment, your practitioner will discuss what they recommend, what to expect throughout your healing journey, and provide an estimated timeline. 

A virtual appointment does not limit our ability to evaluate your health. Before your first appointment, you’ll complete an extensive health history questionnaire that your practitioner will carefully review in advance. The questions are designed to identify patterns that relate to specific organ systems and potential root causes. This allows your practitioner to begin connecting the pieces of your health story before meeting you. The appointment time will be focused on asking you questions to get a full understanding of your health and goals and performing “remote muscle testing” to analyze your body. In addition, functional lab testing, such as the MVX+ Test, can be completed at a lab near you before your appointment. 

Follow-up visits are personalized based on your health goals, symptoms, and progress. Local patients may be seen once a week initially then the visit frequency is spread out. People who are out of state may be seen every 2 to 3 weeks because we have to ship supplements to you which may take 4 to 5 days. Once you take the supplements for two weeks and make other changes then it is time for you next appointment. Once you sign up to be a client, many months of visits will be pre-scheduled into the future. Your practitioner will recommend a schedule that’s appropriate for your unique needs. Some patients may only need periodic check-ins as they progress. 

Our approach is unique because we follow a structured framework called the 7 Steps to Optimal Health. It took Dr. Schmidt 20 years to figure this out and it is validated by the MVX Plus blood test. This program provides a roadmap for addressing health concerns in the proper order. The basis of the 7 steps is to prepare for detox, then remove organisms, then detox, the clean the cells, and lastly nourish. Most other functional doctors do not do as much cleansing; they are using nutrition allopathically to address symptoms.  The 7 Steps to Optimal Health include:

1. Diet – Establishing a strong nutritional foundation to support overall health.
2. Energy – Supporting the body’s ability to produce and utilize energy at the cellular level.
3. Drainage – Supporting the body’s natural pathways for elimination and preparation for deeper work.
4. Intestine & Immune Cleansing – Supporting gut health and immune function by eliminating parasites from the intestines
5. Full Body Immune Cleaning – Addressing deeper areas of immune balance and support by eliminating parasites from the entire body.
6. Powerful Detox – Eliminating toxins and heavy metals
7. Cellular Immune Cleansing –  Eliminating final toxins and heavy metals

By following this step-by-step approach, we aim to address the body as a whole and support lasting improvements rather than only focusing on individual symptoms.

Yes we do!

There is no one-size-fits-all parasite protocol. Our practitioners follow the 7 Steps to Optimal Health, which focuses on supporting the body in the proper order rather than using the same protocol for every client. If parasite support is appropriate, your practitioner will evaluate your health history, symptoms, and any relevant testing to determine the best approach, timing, and products. Any recommendations will be personalized to your individual needs and where you are in your healing journey.

We offer a variety of functional lab tests to gain a deeper understanding of your health. Most new clients begin with the MVX Test, which evaluates key areas such as infection, inflammation, toxicity, malnutrition, and mitochondrial function. We also offer other lab tests that look at hormones, gut health, chemicals, toxins, organisms, or other factors that may be contributing to your health problems. 

The MVX Plus Test is a foundational assessment and is recommended for most new clients. It measures the 5 most important macros for healing: infection, inflammation, toxicity, malnutrition, and mitochondrial function. It also gives you an overall health score from 1 to 100. Depending on your results, health concerns and goals, your practitioner may recommend additional testing at different points throughout your care. Any additional testing is personalized and will be discussed with you so you can decide together what is most appropriate. 

Applied Kinesiology is used to restore normal strength and balance to muscles that have been injured from traumas of all kinds.

While we cannot advise you on starting, stopping, or changing prescription medications, we can help address your symptoms and health goals through a personalized, holistic plan. Our practitioners focus on nutrition &  lifestyle changes along with targeted supplements to support your body’s natural healing processes and address the root cause. 

Diet is step one in the 7 Step Blueprint to Optimal Health. Many people have tried all the diets from vegan to carnivore yet, they are still chronically ill.  That simply means they need to do steps 2 though 7. While some individuals may benefit from specific dietary changes during certain phases of their health journey, our approach is not about unnecessary restriction. Your practitioner will create personalized recommendations based on your body’s needs and where you are in your healing journey, while focusing on nourishing and supporting your overall health. 

No. We do not recommend a keto diet for everyone. Every person’s nutritional needs are unique, and your practitioner will consider your health history, symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and individual needs when making dietary recommendations. Our goal is to create a personalized plan that provides the right support for your body and health journey. 

Whether you’re experiencing bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, food sensitivities, or other digestive concerns, our practitioners can help you. By reviewing your health history, symptoms, and any relevant testing, we work to identify the underlying root cause responsible for your symptoms. Your practitioner will then develop a personalized plan based on nutrition and supplements to address this. 

Yes. We help support clients with hormonal imbalances by looking beyond the symptoms and identifying the root causes contributing to the imbalance. Many symptoms are signals from the body that something deeper may need support. There are great herbs and nutritional supplements for the hormonal glands but oftentimes, the body needs to be cleaned out, too.  Through our personalized approach, your practitioner will evaluate your health history, symptoms, and tests to determine the best recommendations to support your body and overall health. 

Yes. We work with clients experiencing eczema and other skin-related concerns. Instead of simply managing symptoms, we look for what may be driving them by identifying potential root causes and underlying factors contributing to your health concerns. We know that parasties, toxins, mold, and kidney and liver dysfunction cause or contribute to eczema. Your practitioner will create a personalized plan based on your health history, symptoms, and individual needs to support your body and overall wellness. 

Yes. Our practitioners work with clients experiencing allergies and related immune concerns. Rather than simply managing allergies with a 24 hours pill, we look for the potential root causes that may be contributing to your body’s response. Through a personalized approach, your practitioner will create a plan designed to support your body and overall health. 

Our goal is for changes to occur in a few weeks and by the time 3 months have passed, you KNOW you are on the right track.  We expect 10-30% improvement in the first 3 months. These changes that occur can all be delightful and positive but some changes can be uncomfortable. Detoxing metals and chemicals is not always fun.  Eliminating parasites and mold can also be a challenge but as you go through this cleansing, some symptoms go away. 3 months later, look back to see how you are compared to how you were at the beginning.  If you are 30% better in 3 months, then theoretically, you might be 100% better in ten more months.  

Healing is not always a linear process, and it takes time, consistency, and commitment. Every person’s health journey is different, and progress can vary depending on your body’s needs and your dedication to implementing the recommended changes. Our practitioners will guide and support you throughout the process, adjusting recommendations as needed to help you work toward your health goals. 

We have great success with the people we accept but healing takes time, consistency, and commitment. Because every person is different, progress may not always be immediate or occur in a straight line. If you’re not seeing the results you expected, your practitioner will work with you to evaluate your progress, identify any barriers to healing, and make adjustments to your personalized plan as needed. This may include changes to your nutrition, supplements, lifestyle recommendations, or additional testing. Your practitioner continually checks in with you to ensure your plan continues to support your health goals.
