What is telehealth? 

Telehealth is remote health care using advanced telecommunication technology. You can access telehealth through your computer, smartphone, or tablet. If you have an internet connection and any of these devices, you can schedule telehealth visits from any location that works for you (home, office, or even when you’re traveling). 

What services are available using telehealth?

Candid Apple: Nutrition & Functional Medicine offers telehealth founded upon functional medicine principles. 

Functional medicine focuses on the root causes of health problems and disease because you need to find the source of a problem to treat it properly. Otherwise, it’s just slapping a bandage over a problem to temporarily ease symptoms. 

You can get all aspects of functional medicine through telehealth, including:

Lab testing

Diagnostic lab testing includes options like breath, saliva, and blood tests that look much deeper than standard blood panels. 

The team has about 25 years of experience refining their health detective skills through these functional medicine tests, and they can arrange them through your telehealth visit. Tests are sent directly to your doorstep. Lab tests are available individually and in customized packages. 

Nutrition coaching and other health care

Functional medicine involves a more diverse approach than traditional Western medicine. The team reviews your lab testing results, answers questions in real time, and works with you to create a personalized treatment approach during telehealth visits. 

Because it’s root cause medicine, you’ll start within your body, usually with nutrition coaching. Alongside a personalized nutritional plan, the team recommends lifestyle changes, supplements, and other treatments based on your lab results and personal goals. 

Ongoing support

At Candid Apple: Nutrition & Functional Medicine, telehealth is a concierge service, which means you get premium care.
