What Is Included In an Online Consultation?

While you’ve heard a lot about Online Functional Medicine, you may still be confused about how the process works. You may wonder if it is in any way different from traditional, face-to-face consultation. Do you still get personalized attention from your doctor? If these are the few questions that have been bothering you, the good news…we’ve got them covered!
Firstly, when you book an online consultation through our Virtual Functional Medicine services, it’s not a rushed telephonic or virtual call.
You won’t feel you’re just another number on a checklist. Instead, the doctor spends time getting to know you—your medical history, health concerns, and wellness goals before providing you with any recommendations.
That’s the power of Virtual Functional Medicine: personalized, in-depth care from the comfort of your home.

Detailed Medical History Review

This is where the personalized approach kicks in. Online Functional medicine doctors don’t just treat the symptoms you mention—they want to understand how every aspect of your health is connected. Your family history, past illnesses, and even lifestyle habits are crucial in finding the root cause of any issue.

Discussion of Health Concerns and Goals

Whether you’ve been dealing with fatigue, or digestive issues, or are simply looking to optimize your health, this is your moment to discuss your goals. The doctor will ask questions and listen intently, helping to pinpoint what could be contributing to your problems. Together, you’ll build a plan that’s specific to your needs.

Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

Functional medicine doctors emphasize preventive care through lifestyle adjustments. This means they might recommend dietary changes, supplements, or exercise routines to help you start feeling better right away. According to a study published by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, over 80% of chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity.

What Testing Do You Offer?

As we know virtual functional medicine combines traditional healthcare with advanced, patient-centered practices that treat the whole body rather than just symptoms.
Instead of spending time in waiting rooms or traveling to clinics, patients can now consult with doctors virtually. Whether through phone calls, emails, or video chats, the care you need is available wherever you are—at home, at work, or even while on vacation.
During an online consultation, Online Functional Medicine practitioners often go beyond the standard blood tests you might receive at a conventional clinic, such as:

Comprehensive Blood Work:

These tests help uncover deficiencies, inflammation, or imbalances in your body that could be causing fatigue, weight gain, or even mental health issues.

Nutritional Assessments:

Have you ever wondered if you’re getting enough essential nutrients? Functional medicine testing checks your vitamin and mineral levels to see where you might need support.

Hormonal Panels:

Imbalances in hormones like cortisol or thyroid can affect everything from your energy levels to your metabolism. Advanced hormonal testing helps to reveal underlying issues.

Advanced testing like this uncovers root causes, helping your doctor create a treatment plan that’s specific to you, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.

Conditions We Specialize In

Functional medicine takes on a variety of conditions, particularly those that are chronic or lifestyle-induced.

Chronic Illnesses

Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases are often managed through medication alone in conventional settings. However, functional medicine goes deeper, exploring why these conditions developed in the first place.
For example, a person with type 2 diabetes might receive personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to manage blood sugar naturally, reducing dependence on medication.

Assorted healthy foods including salmon, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, broccoli, and blueberries for nutritional health

Nutritional Deficiencies

From iron to vitamin D,nutritional deficiencies can severely impact your health. Whether it’s unexplained fatigue, brittle hair, or frequent colds, online functional medicine practitioners focus on replenishing these key nutrients through both food and supplements.

Lifestyle-Induced Diseases

Many conditions, such as heart disease or obesity, are directly related to lifestyle choices. Functional medicine tackles these by recommending not just diet changes, but also sustainable habits like stress management and regular physical activity.

In conventional medicine, treating these conditions often involves managing symptoms with medications. However, functional medicine focuses on why these issues are happening and offers strategies that help you take control of your health.

The Patient Journey: From Consultation to Health Transformation

The process of working with a virtual functional medicine provider is clear, structured, and personalized to your needs.
1

Discovery Call

Your first interaction is a discovery call. Think of this as a casual conversation, where you discuss your health concerns and goals. The doctor will listen carefully, guiding you through how functional medicine could help. This sets the foundation for the next steps.

2

Advanced Testing

Once your doctor has a clear understanding of your health, the next step is testing. The tests we discussed earlier are used to identify the root causes of your symptoms. The results help to form the roadmap for your personalized health journey.

3

Personalized Health Plan

Based on your test results, your doctor will develop a plan tailored just for you. This plan could include dietary adjustments, supplements, and lifestyle changes aimed at addressing the underlying causes of your condition.

Many patients report feeling better within weeks of following their customized plans, as their body begins to heal from the inside out. It’s a proactive approach that empowers you to take charge of your health.

Time Range Options: Flexible and Personalized Care

Unlike traditional medical appointments that are often constrained by time, virtual functional medicine consultations are flexible. Need an in-depth conversation that takes over an hour? No problem. The goal is to give you the time and attention you need, ensuring all your questions are answered, and your concerns addressed. This level of care helps build trust between the patient and the provider, which is critical in achieving long-term success.

Why Work with Advanced Integrated Health?

So, why should you consider working with Advanced Integrated Health for your virtual functional medicine needs?

Advanced Testing Beyond Conventional Methods

At Advanced Integrated Health, we pride ourselves on offering tests that go beyond what’s available at most conventional clinics. Whether it’s an in-depth nutritional analysis or comprehensive hormonal panel, we believe in getting to the bottom of what’s going on in your body.

Root Cause Analysis

Our approach isn’t about masking symptoms with medication. We dive deep into the root causes of your health issues, whether they’re lifestyle-induced, related to deficiencies, or even stress-driven. Our Advanced Testing care plans are holistic, addressing all aspects of your life to bring about lasting change.

Personalized Care Plans

No two people are the same, and neither are their health needs. We customize our care plans based on your unique situation. Whether you need help managing a chronic illness, overcoming fatigue, or simply optimizing your overall wellness, we’ve got you covered.

Comparison with Competitors

While there are several virtual functional medicine services out there—Advanced Integrated Health stands out because of our personalized, patient-first approach. Here are 4 core differences that make us the best choice for virtual functional medicine.

1. Personalized Care

Our approach emphasizes truly personalized care through Virtual Functional Medicine, ensuring each patient receives a health plan specifically designed for their unique medical history, health concerns, and goals. For instance, if you’re a busy parent dealing with constant fatigue and digestive issues, instead of recommending generic tips, we consider your daily routine, stress levels, and dietary habits. Based on this deeper understanding, we might suggest a nutrient-rich breakfast tailored to your sensitivities and stress-reducing exercises that easily fit into your day.

In contrast, many competitors follow more standardized treatment models. While their care might be effective for certain conditions, it often lacks the depth of personalization.

For example, if you’re struggling with hormonal imbalances, some providers might simply recommend a general wellness plan. While this could bring temporary relief, it often doesn’t address the underlying hormonal issues.

2. Advanced Testing Options

One of the key benefits of our service is the wide range of advanced tests we offer, such as blood panels, nutritional assessments, and hormonal evaluations, all designed to find the root cause of your health concerns.

Other providers may offer advanced testing but often at an additional cost, hidden within subscription packages. Some only offer basic tests that might not uncover the real cause of your health issues.

Consider a situation where you’re facing fatigue and a basic blood test comes back normal. With our more in-depth testing, we might identify an underlying cause like adrenal fatigue, which could otherwise go unnoticed with standard testing from other providers.

3. Pricing and Value for Money

We believe that high-quality healthcare should be accessible and transparent. Our pricing structure allows patients to pay only for the services they need, with no hidden fees or expensive membership models.

Let’s say you’re a college student dealing with skin issues. With a tight budget, you want affordable care that provides real results. Some competitors may lock you into subscription models, requiring monthly payments whether you need the service or not. They may seem affordable at first, but the additional costs for advanced tests or premium services can quickly add up.

For example, you might sign up for a service at a low initial cost, only to find that you need to upgrade to a premium package to get the tests necessary to properly diagnose your issue.

Our approach, on the other hand, is to offer comprehensive services without the need for recurring memberships, saving you both money and frustration.

4. Accessibility and Flexibility

One of the greatest benefits of our virtual functional medicine service is its accessibility. Whether you prefer video calls, emails, or phone consultations, we offer flexible options that allow you to access healthcare from the comfort of your home, office, or even while traveling.

Imagine you’re traveling abroad and suddenly develop an allergy rash. Instead of seeking out an unfamiliar local doctor, you can simply connect with us via video call and receive immediate guidance.

Some competitors also offer online consultations, but flexibility can be limited. Long wait times for appointments are common, especially when demand is high, and follow-ups may take weeks, delaying treatment.

In contrast, we prioritize flexible scheduling, ensuring you get the care you need, when you need it. Additionally, some services reserve priority access for premium-paying members, making it harder for non-premium patients to schedule timely consultations.

With Advanced Integrated Health, you get the same high-quality care but without the limitations of subscription fees or waitlists. Our priority is your health, on your terms.
