Frequently asked questions about Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy is an umbrella term for the techniques used in my private coaching program, Reclaim Your Health.

While allopathic medicine is designed to suppress symptoms, Nutritional Therapy is designed to find the root causes - the WHY - behind your symptoms.

My signature Reclaim Your Health program is a 6-month 1:1 functional nutrition program designed to assess your bio-individual health needs, provide education about your symptoms and how they connect with their root cause(s), and resolve symptoms through manageable lifestyle and dietary changes that help to grow your intuition and improve your relationship with food.

My approach is anti-diet and weight-inclusive. You’ll never be asked to step on a scale.

The Reclaim program includes:

➡️ Initial Recommendations session complete with a step-by-step care plan to address symptoms

➡️ Reassessment sessions to monitor progress and make adjustments to your care plan

➡️ 2 initial functional lab test/panel with review of results

➡️ 2 re-test functional lab test/panel with review of results

➡️ Video Check-In sessions as needed between Assessments

➡️ A 20% supplement discount for the duration of the program

➡️ Customized weekly meal plans, if needed

➡️ Forever enrollment to the Cut the Crap course

➡️ Unlimited chat & email support between sessions

I specialize in helping women and female-bodied individuals in their 30s and 40s with PCOS, IBS, autoimmune, and other inflammatory conditions.

These conditions show up in many different kinds of symptoms.

Symptoms I commonly see in my clients include bloat, constipation, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), diarrhea, nausea, eczema, adult acne, weight gain, infertility, irregular periods, thyroid symptoms, brain fog, migraines, headaches, pain, sleep troubles, seasonal allergies, unexplained fatigue, congestion/stuffy head, and runny nose.

Additionally, it's common for my clients to tell me they've been previously diagnosed with conditions like Interstitial Cystitis, IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Hashimoto's, Multiple Sclerosis, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth), Diabetes, or Pre-diabetes.

People also often seek out Nutritional Therapy to help them learn to generally eat healthy, and live a foundational healthy lifestyle, and improve their relationship with food.

Every individual’s timeline and progress looks different based on what their body needs, and their commitment level.

Regarding Nutritional Therapy, most, if not all clients, begin finding relief only a few weeks into the program.

It's important to remember, your symptoms did not occur overnight, and neither will your healing.

This is why I developed the Reclaim program as a 6-month program, with 3-month options for established clients.

Day-to-Day Timeline

Currently, all sessions are provided online via private video calls, so there is no commute time.

Typically 60-90 minutes each is needed for the Initial Assessment and Initial Recommendations, plus the time it takes to complete a 4-day food journal, as well as other essential intake forms.

Brief check-in sessions are held weekly for the first month, then are reduced in frequency after that. These sessions will take only 20-30 minutes of your time and don’t require any food journaling or intake.

I believe in being straightforward and transparent with my prices.

The cost of Reclaim Your Health is $4290, with pre-pay discounts and payment plans available.

Clients can also expect an additional cost for nutritional supplements throughout the program, if recommended.

A NOTE ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS: Know that I am not in the business of selling supplements - This is why I offer a generous discount for recommended supplements purchased through my dispensary, and use them only with the intention that they be a temporary support while clients do the foundational work to address their symptoms.

It’s a good idea to budget for the additional cost of temporary supplement support when enrolling in Reclaim.

Yes!

My credentials do not restrict me to any geographical area.

All of my services are offered virtually, so seeing clients who live outside of Seattle is easy.

I’ve got you covered!

I build an additional four weeks into the 6-month Reclaim program. This allows for some wiggle room to accommodate for busy lifestyles and helps you stay on track without having to forfeit any one-to-one time.

In short, no.

Nutritional Therapy is a process that assesses bio-individual needs and addresses symptoms through lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as teaching intuition.

This process takes time, consistency, and accountability. None of these components can be well applied with isolated sessions.

Individual sessions and maintenance programs are available to those who have successfully completed a full Nutritional Therapy program.

Regarding the Reclaim Your Health program, clients have two payment options: to pay in full upfront or in 6 monthly installments.

I am able to offer an administrative discount to those who choose to pay up front.

For all other services, payment is required in full at the time of purchase.

This is a great health-forward use of your HSA or FSA funds.

It’s more accurate to say that insurance doesn’t take me - but they may help you pay for the services I provide.

Services and products provided by a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) are not billable as a claim to health insurance, no matter who provides your insurance policy.

However, nutrition consulting services, functional lab testing, and nutritional supplements are covered by many HSA and FSA funds (Health Savings Accounts and Flex Spending Accounts, respectively).

Check with your insurance policy directly to find out whether your HSA or FSA will allow this.

YES!! (depending on the terms of your HSA/FSA)

Many HSA/FSA policies allow the funds to be used for nutritional counseling services, supplement purchases, and lab testing services, all of which are part of a Nutritional Therapy program.

Not all HSA/FSA policies are the same. Check with the terms of your HSA/FSA policy directly to determine whether they will help you pay for the services I provide.

Regarding Nutritional Therapy programs, the first step is to complete a free application.

Bottom Line: I only take clients I am confident I can help.

My job is to provide education, coaching, resources, and accountability to help you reach your goals.

As long as you are honest and forthcoming about your symptoms, diet, and lifestyle, you and I will work well together, and you will see results.

That said, if something in the program is not producing results, we dig deeper. Nutritional Therapy is fluid and adaptable to your body's needs, which will change throughout the process. That may include additional lab testing, referral to a specialist, or trying a different modality.

At the heart of it, your long-term health is important to me and will always be at the forefront of the care I provide you. And although no client has ever requested a refund from me, refunds are available to those who qualify.

Refunds are not available due to buyer's remorse. In order to request a refund, the Client must submit proof of having attended all included Sessions and completed all Recommendations provided by the NTP, as well as evidence that all initially subjective symptoms have not improved after having implemented said Recommendations. The Client must have also requested additional coaching (on top of included sessions) regarding unimproved symptoms at least three (3) times from the NTP. Well Roots may require that the Client submit documentation, including and without limitation, any journaling or tracking completed in relation to Nutritional Therapy, and any record of additional coaching you received. This will ensure that you have maximized the resources available inside the program.

Refunds will not be given for lab testing, supplements, or any tangible items provided. Refunds requested of all services will be determined by Hilary on a case-by-case basis.

Complete terms for my refund policy will be included in a Package Agreement signed by both parties when enrolling in the Reclaim program.
