Three tracks, one framework. Transparent pricing. Real outcomes. Whether you're starting with a functional medicine foundation or need a full-spectrum precision program — there's a track designed for where you are.
Take the Free Assessment to Find Your Track →Most functional medicine practices hide pricing until after a sales call. We don't. Precision healthcare isn't one-size-fits-all, so investment varies by clinical complexity — but the variables are fully predictable. Here's exactly what moves the number in each direction.
Not sure where you land? Take the free Vitality Assessment — it produces an MSQ (Medical Symptom Questionnaire) score that maps directly to program track and investment level. Most patients find their track in 10 minutes. Take the Assessment →
After your free Vitality Assessment, Dr. Bekkum will recommend the track that best fits your symptom burden, clinical complexity, and goals.
"I'd spent $900 on co-pays that year and still didn't have a single answer. One visit here gave me more clarity than two years of conventional appointments."
— M.T., Fargo ND · Foundation Track graduate"I was resistant because of the cost. Then I added up what I was spending on GI specialists, the sleep clinic, and the antidepressant I didn't think I needed. It was more than this — every single year."
— J.R., Minneapolis MN · Mid-Tier graduate"I'd spent over $30,000 on specialists across three states over four years and still had no diagnosis. This was the first program that treated my body as a connected system."
— K.L., Bismarck ND · Executive Vitality enrolleeA functional medicine program is a one-time investment in resolving the root cause. The alternative — managing symptoms indefinitely through the conventional system — has a cost too. It's just distributed across years, disguised as co-pays, lost productivity, and compounding biological decline.
Before recommending anything, Dr. Bekkum maps your symptoms to the body systems driving them — gut function, immune health, energy production, hormones, detox, circulation, and structural integrity.
The goal isn't to suppress what you're feeling. It's to fix what's broken underneath it.
These aren't generic five-star ratings. They're organized around the specific doubts most patients bring into the first conversation — cost, time, skepticism, and past failed attempts — so you can hear directly from someone who was in exactly your position.
Before I enrolled I sat down and actually added up what I was spending. Co-pays, two specialists I was seeing quarterly, the thyroid medication, the antidepressant, and the $140/month I was throwing at random supplements I'd read about online. I was at $4,200 a year — and I wasn't getting better. I was maintaining a slow decline. The Mid-Tier program cost less than two years of what I was already doing, and it had an actual endpoint.
I was a skeptic about the price. My husband was more skeptical than me. What changed my mind was that Dr. Bekkum showed me exactly what the labs would find and why — before we even ran them. He wasn't guessing. He was explaining a system. That's when I realized I had been paying for guesses for years.
I run a business. I have three kids. I was already spending 3–4 hours every week managing symptoms — driving to appointments, waiting at the pharmacy, researching what I could try next. The program took less time than that. One appointment a month, everything virtual, and I stopped the frantic health management cycle. Six months in I had more available hours, not fewer.
I'm a surgeon. My schedule is completely unpredictable. I told Dr. Bekkum upfront that I couldn't commit to anything rigid and asked if that was a problem. The between-visit messaging system made the difference — I could flag something at 10pm and get a protocol adjustment without adding another appointment to my calendar. It was built for people who don't have time for a traditional care model.
I had seen 11 different providers over four years. My labs kept coming back "normal." I was told I had fibromyalgia, then anxiety, then that it was "probably stress." Dr. Bekkum ran different labs — functional labs that look at optimal ranges, not just pathological cutoffs — and found three specific imbalances that had never been identified before. That was six months ago. My MSQ went from 104 to 31. I'm not normal-range sick anymore. I'm actually well.
I came in cynical. I told Dr. Bekkum I didn't believe in supplements and I was only there because my wife insisted. He didn't try to sell me anything. He just asked me to describe what a typical day felt like — and then he told me exactly what system was causing each thing I described. By the end of that first visit I was the one asking when we could start.
