Why this medicine works
Diet and Lifestyle Medicine is * Using simple and powerful lifestyle changes to reverse and prevent common chronic illness * Focusing on a whole foods plant based diet or if preferred, a whole foods paleo diet * Harnessing the power of mindset and thought patterns * Including movement, flexibility, and strengthening in daily habits * Attending to connection with others, the environments we inhabit, and our passions * It is stress management * Prioritizing the quantity and quality of our sleep * Optimizing the health of our home and work environments
How does Dr Easton use Functional Medicine? * She takes detailed histories of your health and healthcare challenges * She does an in depth review of your habits including diet and lifestyle * Where and how you have lived and worked are reviewed * The health of your home environment is evaluated * Root cause of illness or imbalance is determined * Individualized therapeutic plans are then put together using diet and lifestyle modification, supplements if needed and prescription medication when indicated
Why this works? * What we eat, how we think, how we move and rest and socialize are commonly the largest determinants of our health * This gives us simple powerful tools with which we can heal * This works because the systems in the body are interconnected and interdependent * They are complex and efficient and their baseline is to be in balance and functioning optimally * When we listen to the body and make changes to support it, we can heal * Genetics do not determine our health, how those genes are expressed can * We can modify genetic expression with our diet and habits

How we work
What is Treeborn Health Functional Medicine? This is a telemedicine practice that offers convenient, accessible medical consultations for patients who reside in the states of Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington. Dr Easton focuses on nutrition and lifestyle and can recommend supplements, as well as prescribe medications when they are indicated. The practice is a consultation service to support your work with your primary care provider and specialists you may work with.
Do you order labs? Yes, conventional as well as specialized labs can be ordered.
Do you accept insurance? No, we are out of network with all insurance companies. We will be happy to provide you with a super bill. This is a receipt detailing the medical diagnosis codes that we addressed and the charge for the visit. It can be submitted to your insurance or HSA for any possible reimbursement. We do not invoice. Payment is due at the time of the service and can be made with a credit card online through your secure Patient Portal.
What do you charge? The first visit is our 75 minute visit and is $500. A 60 minute visit is $400 and a 30 minute visit is $200.
How many visits do most patients need? This will depend on your goals and the health challenges we are working on. Some patients require just one visit a year or biannual check ins. Many people feel better after 2 to 3 visits and so may not need any more visits in the year. Â If Dr Easton prescribes medications, a visit will be required every 3 months so that she can monitor symptoms, get labs if they are needed and refill the medication(s).
Why do I need a primary care provider? Your primary care provider is a key member of your health team. They manage chronic conditions, do physical exams, order preventive screenings and refer to specialists or supportive therapies.
What types of problems does Dr Easton work with in her Functional Medicine practice? She sees primary care issues such as insulin resistance and diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, thyroid disorders, perimenopausal and menopause syndromes, weight loss resistance, chronic fatigue and brain fog, autoimmune, skin, and mood disorders.
