Functional Medicine

Your initial functional medicine consult.

Your initial telehealth appointment will include a 60-minute consultation with Dr. Zubiel. During your consultation, she will review your personal and family health history, your goals, and your current ailments.

Nutritional therapy and lifestyle modifications will be discussed and are integral components of your wellness plan. Through your prior lab work or recommend targeted lab testing (optional), we are able to assess how each body system is functioning and design an more specific program to rebalance your body.

Nutritional supplements may be recommended initially, and we will help you select and find the highest quality products.

What do I need to do to get started?

You may book your initial appointment online.

Comprehensive online intake forms must be completed and submitted 48 hours prior to your first appointment. This allows for adequate review of your health history by the practitioner prior to your initial appointment. We reserve the right to cancel your appointment if forms are not submitted in time. Please send along any lab results that have been completed within the past 6 months.

Our intake forms are quite lengthy in order to ensure quality care provided by our staff. The more thorough and accurate the information provided, the better your health outcomes. Essex Integrative Health, LLC keeps your information private pursuant to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

How are follow-up appointments scheduled?

Dr. Zubiel will provide a follow-up schedule during your initial consult that suites your specific needs, but you may schedule an appointment at any time for additional support.

Together, we’ll create an individualized health program, which will include dietary modifications, nutritional supplements, and exercise, lifestyle and stress management recommendations. We’ll prioritize your protocol and establish a relationship for on-going support.

Subsequent telehealth consultations are scheduled to monitor your progress and to modify your program accordingly. These sessions provide time to review your personalized plan and discuss next steps on your journey.
