We can answer any questions you may have, make sure all necessary labs are being monitored, ensure that your care and treatment are optimized, and offer suggestions on how to make your diet and lifestyle even healthier!
Using a Plant Based Diet to Improve Athletic Performance
There is no doubt that you have probably heard of a prominent athlete adopting a plant based, vegan diet. There's also no doubt that they probably rave about the positive effects in their health and athletic performance! If you are an athlete or active individual who is interested in trying a plant based diet to boost performance, but don't know where to start, or want some guidance - we are here for you. We recommend watching the documentary "The Game Changers" to get learn more information and get motivated!
Discounted Laboratory Testing Services
Getting routine tests to monitor your health is important! But, getting the bill for your lab work is never fun. When you operate in a broken medical system, things are complicated and expensive.
For example, if you need a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to monitor the health of your thyroid; your provider orders the test, you go to the lab, you give them your insurance information, and the lab bills your insurance around $75 to complete the test. The big question is, how much will you owe out of pocket? You could be lucky and owe $0! Or unlucky and owe $75. Or anything in between. You don't know how much it will cost you, your provider also has no idea, and the insurance company can't tell you because they use a proprietary formula to determine how much they will make you pay. You usually won't know how much you owe for the test until you get the bill weeks later.
At Plant Based NP Lifestyle Care Center, we negotiate directly with the laboratory testing centers for our patients. We offer transparent, up front pricing for lab tests that are sometimes over 90% cheaper than the standard insurance price. For example, the TSH test from earlier will cost you $6 - no complicated formula or waiting for a bill - you just pay $6, go get your test done, and we will contact you with the results. We can still order your testing through insurance, but in most situations, we believe our patients will pay less using our discount laboratory services instead.
