What drives your investment — and what keeps it lean

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.

📈
Factors That Increase Investment Clinical complexity drivers
Systems
Multi-system involvement When gut, hormone, neurological, and structural systems are simultaneously dysregulated, each requires its own lab panel and clinical sequencing.
Genetics
3x4 Genetics analysis (Darwin Algorithm™) Full genomic variant analysis that personalizes your protocol at the gene-expression level. Exclusive to the Executive Vitality track.
Labs
Expanded functional lab panels DUTCH hormone panel, GI-MAP, comprehensive metabolic, and advanced inflammatory markers add depth — and cost — proportional to your symptom burden.
Diagnostics
CCEP electrodiagnostic assessment Peripheral nerve conduction and structural evaluation for neuropathy or complex structural presentations. Requires specialized clinical time.
Duration
Program length (6-month vs. 12-month) Longer programs require more clinical touchpoints, lab rescores, and protocol adjustments as your biology shifts across phases.
History
Extensive failed prior workup A long history of inconclusive conventional testing typically signals deeper complexity and a longer root-cause investigation phase.
📉
Factors That Keep It Lean What reduces total program cost
Early Entry
Starting before full-system breakdown Lower MSQ scores mean fewer lab panels to establish baseline, shorter investigation phases, and a faster path to the Restore and Rebuild phases.
Supplements
Fullscript formulary access (20–35% off) Your Fullscript account locks in practitioner-grade pricing for the duration of your program — and beyond. Most patients save $80–$200/month versus retail.
Virtual
100% telehealth delivery No facility overhead, no parking, no missed work. Your appointments fit around your schedule — same clinical depth, zero commute cost.
MSQ-Tracked
Objective rescore cadence reduces guesswork Your symptom burden score is retested at 30/60/90/180 days. As your score drops, visit frequency and lab repeat needs decrease accordingly.
Cohort
Cohort option for graduates After completing a Vitality by Design™ track, the Functional Restoration Cohort provides ongoing clinical guidance at $400/month — versus $800+ for continued individual care.
Prevention
Resolving root cause eliminates downstream costs Patients who complete the program average 3–5 fewer specialist visits per year and significantly reduce prescription maintenance costs.

"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."

The Real Cost Comparison

What this program costs —
versus what staying stuck costs

A 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.

The Conventional Management Path

Annual cost of staying on the symptom-management cycle

Primary care co-pays (avg. 8/year × $45) $360
Specialist visits (avg. 4/year × $65) $260
Prescription medications (avg. $95/month) $1,140
OTC supplements without clinical direction $600
Lab work not ordered to full clinical depth $480
Lost productive hours (6 hrs/week × $55/hr) $17,160
Annual recurring total
$20,000+

Every symptom gets traced to the body system causing it — before a single protocol is written

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.

  • Gut, adrenal, and hormone issues addressed in the clinically correct sequence
  • Every visit tracks your symptom burden so the protocol adjusts as you improve
  • Recommendations are re-evaluated at every milestone — not set and forgotten
  • Optional genetic analysis layer (Darwin Algorithm™) available in the Executive Vitality track

Honest accounts from people who had your exact hesitation

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.

Objection 01 "I can't justify the cost when I don't know if it will work."
"

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.

Objection 02 "I'm too busy. A six-month program sounds like a huge time commitment."
"

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.

D.K. Fargo, ND · Business owner · Energy + gut · Mid-Tier graduate ✓ Estimated 12 hrs/month reclaimed from symptom management
Objection 03 "I've been to multiple doctors. Nothing has worked. Why would this be different?"
"

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.
