Answers before you book
The stuff people ask most. Don’t see your question? Just ask.
What is functional medicine?
It’s root-cause medicine. Instead of matching a symptom to a prescription, I look at how everything connects (nutrition, hormones, gut, sleep, stress, your labs) to find what’s actually driving how you feel. It works alongside regular medicine, not instead of it.
Is this in person or telehealth?
Both. See me in person at my Batesville, Indiana office, or do the whole visit by secure video if you’re in Indiana or Ohio. Labs get done near you or with an at-home kit either way.
Which states can you see patients in?
In person, at my Batesville, Indiana office. By telehealth, if you’re physically located in Indiana or Ohio, where I’m licensed. More states may come later. Not sure? Reach out and I’ll confirm before you book.
Do you take insurance?
Foundry is membership-based and cash-pay, on purpose, so I can spend real time on you instead of fighting insurance. You may be able to use HSA/FSA, or submit a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Pricing’s on the booking page.
How does lab testing work?
After we talk, I order labs based on your story. You get them done at a lab near you or with an at-home kit, and we go through the results together on a follow-up. Any lab fees are separate and shown up front.
Do you replace my primary care provider?
No, and I don’t want to. I work alongside your PCP and specialists. Keep them for routine and urgent stuff; I focus on the root-cause side.
Can the whole family be seen?
Yes. I do cause-first care across the family. Tell me your situation and I’ll let you know how I can help.
Is this a good fit for athletes?
Definitely. There’s a whole performance track for athletes and high-performers who want to dial in energy, hormones, recovery, and their numbers. See the Performance page.
How much will it cost?
Foundry is membership-based and cash-pay. Current pricing is on the booking page. Because you’re paying out of pocket, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs under the No Surprises Act, and I’ll give you one before your visit or whenever you ask.
What if I have a medical emergency?
Telehealth isn’t for emergencies. If you’re having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest ER right away.
