Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

By addressing the root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of the disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

Conditions I treat include (but are not limited to):

• Healthy weight and metabolism

• Healthy Aging & Longevity

• Detoxification and Healing

• Fatigue

• Digestive disorders (IBS, GERD/Reflux)

• Metabolic syndrome, Pre-diabetes, Insulin Resistance

• Migraines and Headaches

• Sleep/Insomnia

• Heart and Cardiovascular Support

• Athletic Performance

• Brain Health (focus, cognition, memory)

• Female disorders (PMS, Menopause, PCOS)

• Cancer prevention and support

• Hormone balance

• Mental Health Conditions (Depression and Anxiety)

I do not accept insurance. I can provide a receipt or superbill for you to submit directly to your insurance carrier.  

This is highly individual and based on what is the best course of action. Pricing is detailed for Memberships & Programs. It is best to schedule a discovery call to see what the best plan is for you.

Yes. This practice is exclusively telemedicine.  I work with patients across Washington State and even internationally. This practice is located in Kirkland, Washington.  We connect remotely via our secure video conferencing with screen-sharing capability. 

Yes! Dr. Claudia is currently accepting new clients.

No, I require that you have your own primary care physician. While I am trained as a primary care physician, I do not provide acute care services.   Brilliant Health Institute is a consultative practice working closely in preventive, nutritional and functional medicine to help you address the roots of chronic health problems.  I can confer with your primary care doctor if it is needed.

In addition to traditional blood work, Dr. Claudia may order Functional lab testing performed via urine, stool, saliva, and/or blood.  This functional lab testing evaluates health on a cellular level to help determine the root cause of your health challenges.

Outside of blood work, most lab testing can be performed from the comfort of your own home.

Depending on the client's needs or the membership/program they are participating in, this may vary.  I am committed to providing the most affordable care possible.  Brilliant Health Institute has made special arrangements with all of our lab vendors to provide you with direct lab pricing for tests not covered by insurance.  On average, you should budget between $25 and $1,500 for lab testing.

Depending on the client's needs or membership/program participation, this may vary by individual.  I am committed to providing the highest quality and most effective supplement recommendations. My clients receive 10% off all supplements from my online dispensary.  On average, you should budget between $50 and $ 300 for supplements every couple of months.

Yes, they are available at all times on the patient portal. I believe that an informed patient gets much better long-term and becomes an active participant in their wellness.  

Unfortunately, our soil is nutrient-depleted, and therefore our diets are lacking.  This is the case for all diet types, including organic and whole foods.  At Brilliant Health Institute, supplements are personalized to fill nutrient and mineral gaps. Quality is very important. All supplements are not the same.  I only recommend third-party-tested supplements of the highest quality.

You may start with a broader range of supplements, which will be narrowed as the root causes are addressed. While supplements are essential, they are not a magic pill.  A holistic approach is crucial for long-term healing.  

I accept major credit/debit cards.

You will have the option to join a membership that includes follow-up visits at a frequency that matches your underlying needs.  The memberships include a monthly fee structure.  Our services are designed to provide you with the tools and support to optimize your health.  However, continued healing takes time and continued commitment.
