Functional Medicine
Most doctors help you manage your symptoms. Carpathia shows you how to get well.
We go deeper so you can heal yourself
Finding true wellness in today's world is challenging.
- Our world is more toxic.
- Healthcare is more fragmented.
- No one sees you—or your full picture.
- Your health slips through the cracks of a broken system.
More and more people feel unheard, unseen, and unsupported. You deserve more—you deserve to reclaim your wellbeing.
It’s time for a better approach.
If you're ready to connect the dots and start collaborating on your own health, vitality, and freedom—we've built Carpathia for you.
“Carpathia is where you go when you’ve lost hope.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpathia Health
You may have been traumatized by your health situation, other factors, years of not being heard, and financial stressors. All of these cause limbic system dysregulation, impairing your ability to heal.
You may have trouble remembering and processing, struggle with big emotions, and experience lots of irritation. We will require you to work with limbic system retraining and one of our health coaches regularly if you are to make progress and remain a client.
Please understand that we cannot assess and address many years’ worth of symptoms, lab tests, and previous treatments and come up with a lifelong plan in one 90-minute intake visit. This is a 9-12+ month process of using multiple team members.
Our functional approach uses nutrition and dietary changes as a fundamental part of treatment. This helps us optimize everything from gastrointestinal health, immunity, sleep, hormonal balance, and neurological challenges to emotional well-being. You may need to make changes in your diet, particularly around caffeine, sugar, processed foods, and alcohol.
Nutritional counseling with a functionally trained dietitian is essential for lasting results. Our dietitians are the front line of our services and the most economical.
As you move forward, you’ll become aware of daily physical changes and symptoms arising in your body so that you can begin to understand the complex process involved. The more you are aware of these things, the more quickly you can adjust to further your self-care. We strongly recommend keeping a food-mood diary to start to self-assess.
The balance between rest and physical exercise will majorly affect your well-being. We often lose this balance by getting caught up in the “busyness” of our lives. We can help you with this balance but successful implementation at home and in your life depends on the commitment to your health and self-care. We will be encouraging you to maintain self-awareness and commitment.
Cutting-edge functional testing may be recommended to assess your unique biochemistry and physiology. These tests may involve the collection of saliva, urine, stool, breath, and/or blood.
Many tests are NOT covered by insurance. For those that are, please be aware of your deductible and your out-of-network benefits.
Most of our lab contracted prices are less than plan deductibles.
We are NOT an emergency care facility. If you have an emergency, please call your primary care physician or seek an emergency medical facility.
The best way to get a quick response is to send a secure message through our client portal. You can also call our office at (469) 729-6460.
Do not email us for any pressing matters. Please DO NOT send multiple messages to multiple practitioners. This will only delay your care.
This approach is an investment in the future of your health. Investing now can return huge benefits for your long-term health, providing a foundation for a life filled with more energy, fewer symptoms, and an overall sense of well-being.
Since every patient plan is unique, the cost changes based on your needs. Expect to have several visits with your primary practitioner as well as with the nutritionists and/or health coaches. A good estimate is $1000-3000 with visits, labs, and nutrients for the first 3 months. After that, the cost depends on your needs and usage of advanced therapeutics such as IVs.
We will provide you with receipts and codes for those practitioners allowed to use CPT and ICD 10 coding so you may file for out-of-network benefits.
Payment is due at the time of service for your practitioner appointment and any lab work you do.
