Lab Analysis & Consultation – Community Update
Hi friends, I want to share a quick reminder and clarification about lab analysis and review services in our community. Lab interpretation is a specialized service that I personally provide. While quarterly check-ins and basic assessments remain complimentary, any additional lab documents you ask me to review (outside of those scheduled reviews) do require a fee. This is because each case is unique and it takes significant time, training, and research to do it well. When you request: - Lab analysis - Functional interpretation - Consulting on next steps - Research and personalized planning …you’re receiving my years of education, experience, and the focused time it takes to truly understand your body and create a meaningful plan. How pricing works - For current clients and those actively using IDNutrition:$100/hour - For non-client referrals seeking lab-only consultation:$200/hour Most common timeframes (these are examples, not guarantees, since every case is different): - Basic labs (hormones, thyroid panels, metabolic panels, lipids, etc.):Typically ~30 minutes → around $50 - More complex testing (GI-MAP, methylation panels, outside genetic testing, etc.):Often 1.5–3 hours depending on complexity and history I also do my best to bundle multiple diagnostics into one comprehensive interpretation and plan when possible, to keep this as reasonable and efficient as I can. Please also note: if you are working primarily with another team member but specifically request lab reviews, those ultimately roll up to me for final interpretation, and the same rate applies. Why this matters I genuinely love offering this service. One of the biggest gaps I see in traditional medicine is that even when labs are run, patients: - Aren’t truly taught what their numbers mean - Aren’t shown how those markers fit together - Aren’t given practical, actionable steps in plain language My goal is to bridge that gap—to help you decode the noise, understand what your labs are really saying, and feel empowered with a clear plan.
