Program Services and Pricing Schedule (effective January 1, 2024)

Welcome to Integrative Health & Wellness Associates! We look forward to meeting with you and partnering with you to optimize your health. Please be aware that a Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Start-Up Package will be required if you are new to our practice or have not been seen by an IHWA clinician in over 2 years.

 

1.   Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Start-Up Package

As a triple board-certified medical doctor in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Integrative Medicine who has extensive training in Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Yoga, Reiki, and other holistic approaches, Dr. V can assist you in piecing together the timeline and contributing factors to your health issues from a root cause perspective. She can interpret labs and test results and consultations you’ve already acquired from your standard allopathic physicians in detail from a functional perspective. Further, if it is determined that you need specialty functional medicine testing to help gain more insight into your condition and help you achieve your health goals, we are able to order unique and in-depth testing if needed such as:

      • Comprehensive Analysis of Blood Panel : Micronutrient Panel, Inflammatory Markers, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic markers, Thyroid, Adrenal, Food Sensitivity, Leaky Gut/Intestinal Permeability Testing, etc.
      • Comprehensive Analysis of Microbiome (Stool Testing)
      • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Testing (SIBO Breath Testing)
      • Comprehensive Salivary Testing
      • Comprehensive Urine Testing
      • Genetic Markers

Additional personalized specialty testing may be recommended by Dr. V during visit if indicated.

These are just a few examples. Standard labs and functional specialty blood work can conveniently be done by a mobile functional phlebotomist, who can come to your home or place of work, or you can go to their lab. Many of the other tests can be done in the comfort of your own home, which you send back via Fed Ex shipping labels in the kits provided by the lab.

Once we get functional data back, we can help you clarify what supplements, vitamins, or functional foods/nutraceuticals you would benefit from (or which ones may be harmful or a waste of money). While the focus is always lifestyle and food/spices and meditation and medication first, sometimes patients would benefit from temporary or long-term supplements based on their unique health issues (such as digestive imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies, or genetic inefficiencies). If any of these, for example, are determined, you will be provided specific recommendations to purchase at an integrative pharmacy or location of your choice OR via our in-house or online dispensary, where we have personally researched and vetted companies that scientifically demonstrate the highest purity and third-party quality certification metrics and provide you with discounted pricing from MSRP. The data is often very helpful at customizing your wellness plan even further, but after the results review visit, the deeper work will really begin.

Since your health concerns did not develop overnight, similarly, immediate results and disease reversal cannot be magically achieved overnight. There is no magic pill. Typically, it can take 3-6 months or more to begin to see progress and results. This requires dedication, collaboration, hard work, and accountability. This is why it is beneficial to stay the course, play the long game, and enroll in the Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Follow Up Program or one of the Customized Health Coach Only Programs to help you follow through and achieve the goals you are seeking.
This two-month start-up package includes:

  • One (1) 75-minute Initial Telehealth Consultation with Dr. Vazirani (In-Person available upon request).
  • One (1) 60-minute Telehealth Follow-Up Lab Review Consultation with Dr. Vazirani (In-Person available upon request).

* It is recommended that BOTH appointments are scheduled at the time of booking to ensure you get the date/time of your preference, as the doctor’s schedule often books out months in advance.

To optimize the impact of this program, it is recommended that you complete this program in two (2) months.

2.   Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Follow-Up Package

Your health concerns did not develop overnight; similarly, immediate results and disease reversal cannot be magically achieved overnight. There is no magic pill. Typically, it can take 3-6 months or more to begin to see progress and results. This requires dedication, collaboration, hard work, and accountability. This is why it is beneficial to stay the course, play the long game, and enroll in the Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Follow-Up Package or one of the Customized Health Coach Sessions to help you follow through and achieve the goals you are seeking.

You qualify for the Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Follow-Up Package once you complete the Functional Ayurveda™ Fundamentals Start-Up Package.  This package consists of 2 MD Follow-Up Visits.

MD Follow-Up Visits
Dr. V uses a combination of Medical, Functional, and Ayurvedic Assessment to determine if any comprehensive functional medicine lab testing is warranted, and in this program would order any custom test panels she deems necessary (cost of testing is between the patient and the lab testing company, and is the patient’s responsibility). Once we get functional data back from your testing, you meet with Dr. V for a results review follow-up visit. At this point we can help you further customize what supplements, vitamins, or functional foods/nutraceuticals you would benefit from (or which ones may be harmful). While the focus in Functional Medicine and Ayurveda is always lifestyle, food/spices, meditation over medication first, some patients would benefit from temporary or long-term supplements or lifestyle practices based on their unique health issues (such as digestive imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies, detoxification or genetic inefficiencies, for example) to help optimize their health. If any of these are determined to play a role in your health issues, you will be provided with specific recommendations.

The functional data is often very helpful in customizing your Functional Ayurveda™ wellness plan even further, but after the results review visit, the deeper work really begins.

Your follow-up program will be targeted to support your progress towards improved mind and body health utilizing Dr. V’s unique approach. Utilizing the best aspects of what Integrative Functional, and Ayurvedic medicine have to offer, Dr. V and her team strive to help you address the root cause of your ‘dis-ease’ and help educate and empower you to reestablish homeostasis and harmony by eliminating or minimizing physical, chemical, and emotional stressors and regain control of your life.

As you progress through the program, we will support you through your challenges and struggles and celebrate your successes and help you with modifying your plan as needed at each follow-up visit to help you work towards your goals.

To optimize the impact of this program, it is recommended that you complete this program in six to twelve (6 – 12) months.

The visits and sessions can be provided via video or phone appointment.

The Customized Health Coaching Session will center around one of the following programs of your choice:

  • Gut Balance and Optimization Health Coaching Program

The main drivers of gut health change are shifts in stomach acid, gut immunity and gastrointestinal flora—the complex ecosystem of bacteria in your digestive system. When gut health is good, you’re less likely to experience damaging inflammation and lapses in immunity. In Ayurveda, Agni is the energy of Digestion, Transformation, and Metabolism. It is the Element of Fire which governs our life force, strength, general health, energy levels and the radiance of our skin. When balanced, Agni encourages good gut and overall health. The right type and amount of probiotic bacteria supports your body in several ways – from promoting a healthy immune system and successful weight management, to minimizing occasional diarrhea, uncomfortable bloating, and constipation. In this program, you will work with our Board-Certified Health Coaches on Gut Wellness. You will explore many ways to help optimize Gut Health including nutrition support, sleep, managing stress and exercise.

  • Food Sensitivity Health Coaching Program

Our Board-Certified Health Coaches will help you create a well-balanced diet that aligns with your Dosha (constitution) and custom lifestyle to meet your needs. When you have multiple food sensitivities, health coaching can help you to eat a balanced diet rather than only eating the 10 foods you know are safe and enjoy eating. Our coach is culinary trained and has extensive knowledge in assisting how to manage a life with food allergies & sensitivities. Gut Optimization Protocols are also reviewed at length during these appointments.

  • Auto-Immune Balancing Health Coaching Program

Functional Ayurveda™ food plans to reduce inflammation, improve digestion and intestinal permeability (leaky gut), and address autoimmune disease. Patients with Hashimoto’s, Grave’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, and other autoimmune diseases often experience improved quality of life from this approach. This plan follows the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol free from foods with the potential to stimulate the immune system, increase inflammation, and cause irritation to the digestive tract. Our Autoimmune Paleo Program excludes all refined sugars and oils, grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nightshades, nuts, seeds, food additives, spices and ingredients that contain extracts of these foods. This plan is packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients that support digestion like turmeric, bone broth, and bitter greens. It truly makes following the Auto-Immune protocol simpler and more delicious than ever. Each Food Plan is customized for those with other dietary restrictions such as vegetarians, vegans, or other food restrictions/sensitivities.
