We happily do NOT partner with insurance companies because they are generally more focused on sick care, rather than actually getting people well. By not partnering with them, WE get to decide together what you need to get well and stay well. I encourage you to think about all you will gain by investing in our services that will help you gain long-term health, happiness, and vitality, and the money you will save on NOT needing sick care in the future. 

If you have a Health Savings Account, that will usually cover the costs. Please check with your HSA company to be sure. 

All services beyond the Foundational Assessment are structured as memberships or programs. 

We pride ourselves on doing things a little differently than your typical healthcare practice that sees patient after patient all day long for one time, stand-alone visits. After experiencing this model of care in both traditional and functional medicine, we strongly believe that this is NOT the best way to help you achieve the results you are after, and it's a fast-track to burnout for our providers (lose-lose for all). Instead, we've created packages, programs, and memberships at different price points with different levels of support to meet all needs. Our client testimonials are proof that this is truly the best way to create a strong partnership and to teach you what your unique body requires to get well and stay well. 

Your health and well-being is our top priority, and we want to assure you that we have put a lot of thought and care into creating our offerings. If you have questions about which option is best for you, please email melissa@melissabunkers.com. We'd love to meet you!

Several of our programs and memberships require a 4 month minimum commitment because we don't provide quick fixes. You likely didn't develop your symptoms and imbalances overnight, and they won't be reversed overnight either. We are passionate about creating a partnership with you to support, educate, and empower you to take radical responsibility for your health and well-being. If you have concerns or reservations about a commitment to our services, we completely understand and would love to answer any questions you have. Please email melissa@melissabunkers.com. 

This is highly dependent on each unique person's current nutrition and lifestyle, dedication to their protocol, and lab results. Some symptoms can improve within a couple of weeks (fatigue, sleep), and others can take much longer. Intense gut healing protocols usually take at least 5-6 months to complete. Some hormone imbalances can improve within 3-4 months. We do our best to give you a realistic timeline after assessing your health history, symptoms, goals, and lab results.  

No. I do not prescribe medications or make any recommendations about prescriptions. I use lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement recommendations based on the latest evidence-based research to correct imbalances and support optimal health. 

Definitely! Normal does not mean optimal. If you are feeling poorly, it is VERY likely that you have some imbalances and/or dis-ease dynamics going on. I'll teach you what optimal lab values are using a Functional Medicine approach, and then we’ll work on correcting those issues.

Our services are not right for you if:

You expect results overnight

You're not ready to take complete ownership and responsibility for your health and progress

You aren't ready and willing to find ways to decrease stress in your life

You aren't ready to change your diet and lifestyle habits

You aren't ready to get uncomfortable taking action to improve your health

You expect supplements to be the "magic pills" that fix everything

You have access to the Revive online library for the duration of your membership. Once you discontinue your membership, access to the online library is discontinued as well. Ongoing access is valuable since we are frequently adding new information to the member portal. 

Definitely not! We have helped women across many different states and countries. We can provide virtual visits, and we will guide you step-by-step through the lab process.
