Scope of services:
The Practitioner obtains a series of laboratory test results on your behalf from Certified Laboratories in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the UK, and provides you with a comprehensive, holistic, or nutrition-related interpretation of those test results. These test results can be exclusively used by you as an educational tool for your personal health purposes.

The practitioner offers round-the-clock accessibility through their Client Portal (Practice Better) for addressing brief inquiries and providing support. Please note that ’24-Hour Access’ is limited to messaging and does not include extended consultation sessions. If clients require a consultation with the practitioner, they must schedule one separately at a rate of 250 Euros per hour.
