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.

Yes! We do offer financing in the United States.

Some patients prefer to finance the program with a 0% APR line of credit payable in approx. 18 months to 2 years.

Yes! Claudia is currently accepting new clients.

Yes. I work with patients from across the United States and even internationally. This practice is located in Seattle, Washington, and has transitioned to an exclusively virtual wellness service.  I offer various online education programs that will give you tools and guidance for healing.  We connect remotely through our secure video conferencing with screen share capability.  These programs do not constitute a doctor/patient relationship.

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, 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 needs of the client or program participating in, this may range differently.  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 $600-$1500 for functional medicine lab testing.

Depending on the client's needs or program participation, this may range differently per 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 $150-300 for supplements every couple of months.

Yes, they are available at all times on the patient portal. Claudia delivers a comprehensive lab video interpretation before the visit.  This is to ensure you fully understand how your body is functioning.  

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, 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 which are of the highest quality.

You may start with a broader range of supplements to start that is further cut down as the root causes are addressed. While supplements are essential, it is not a magic pill. A holistic approach is crucial for long-term healing.  

I accept cash, checks, major credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and debit cards.

After graduating from the program, you will have the option to join a membership that will include follow-up visits at a frequency that matches your underlying metabolic/hormonal/gastrointestinal/etc issues.  The membership includes a fee structure that is monthly.  The programs are designed to provide you with the tools and support to optimize your health.  However, continued healing takes time and continued commitment.
