Testimonials
Carolyn T.
Maribelle has been a godsend for me. She really listened and finally, after a few years of trying to get my energy back, we have a plan and I'm already feeling better.
Evelyn D.
I was referred and I highly recommend Maribelle. I've been bounced around to different doctors and really no one could help. Did some advanced testing and I'm really excited about this program!
Vaila T.
I'm just so happy I'm sleeping better. Who knew it was such a game changer. Ok, ok my anxiety is better too but what a rollercoaster that was! Great clinic, great program!
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the 15 Minute Reveal and Rise Call?
Very simple. A licensed practitioner will ask you some questions, do a quick health history, and determine if you're a case they can accept. If they think they can help they'll give you the package options available and work to find a personalized health plan to fit your unique needs.
Is Functional Medicine Safe?
ABSOLUTELY! Functional medicine is a safe and natural way of dealing with the root cause of health challenges, focusing on lifestyle changes, stress management, natural remedies and supplementation that is tailored to your personal situation. There are very few conventional practitioners that will do objective functional testing and work towards finding the ROOT CAUSE of the health challenge. Most providers simply give a medicine / chemical cover up.
Is functional medicine evidence-based?
Functional medicine draws on both traditional medical knowledge and emerging research. While it may incorporate alternative therapies, the approach is rooted in scientific evidence. Practitioners stay updated on the latest research to provide the best possible care.
Can Functional Wellness Rising be my Primary Care Provider?
Unfortunately not, but we can work closely with your PCP with our root cause resolution approach to healthcare and providing support to your long term health and well being. Our Focus on the underlying factors contributing to your health concerns allows for improvement of existing conditions as well as offering preventative care by identifying and preventing risk factors that may affect your health in the future.
How does functional medicine diagnose health issues?
Functional medicine uses a combination of comprehensive medical history, advanced laboratory testing, and in-depth patient interviews to understand the underlying factors contributing to health problems. This approach helps in creating personalized treatment plans.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeline for results varies depending on the individual and the nature of their health concerns. Some patients may experience improvement relatively quickly, while others may require more time for significant changes. Functional medicine is often considered a long-term, preventative approach.
Where is your clinic located?
We are 100% virtual. The beautiful thing about functional medicine and our functional approach is that it can be done from ANYWHERE in CALIFORNIA! After your initial consultation, we'll schedule your first visit so TOGETHER we can customize a safe, natural, & highly effective protocol based on YOUR individual needs, having frequent visits to motivate and encourage you to take control of your life and your health.
Am I able to use my health insurance coverage?
Even though Functional Wellness Rising would love to be credentialed, the State of California does not recognize holistic medicine as part of the coverage. Therefore, we are a cash- based practice and do not accept insurance.You can however use a Health savings account (HSA) or Flexible spending account (FSA) for your visit or supplements.
It is important to note we spend a great deal of time with our patients to understand the state of their health by gathering information, analyzing symptoms and providing in depth education, giving every patient who comes in the time and attention they fully deserve that is critical to their health needs. Because of this reason, it is impossible to follow the traditional insurance model of care, which typically only allots 15 minutes per patient. We can however provide a superbill upon request, for you to submit to your insurance for possible out of network coverage.
