Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what brings you here.

Some patients arrive knowing exactly what they want. They have a specific concern, they have done their research, and they are ready to move. If that sounds like you, the Direct Health Program is the most efficient path. You start with an online screening questionnaire, receive a targeted lab order, and meet with Dr. Boesler for a consultation and treatment plan. Learn more →

Others arrive with something harder to define. They have been through the system, seen the specialists, done the bloodwork, and still do not have a satisfying answer. For those patients, the Two-Step Assessment gives Dr. Boesler the space to hear the full picture before recommending a direction. Learn more →

And some patients are not responding to anything in particular. They feel generally well but want to understand where they actually stand. The Foundational Health Evaluation is built for that patient — a comprehensive whole-body baseline that produces a quantified Total Health Score across laboratory, vitality, and sleep. Learn more →

There is no single patient type that Fresh Fit Consulting was designed for. We work with patients with unexplained or persistent symptoms whose standard lab results come back normal, patients with a diagnosis they feel is inadequately managed, patients who have seen multiple providers without resolution, and patients who are proactive about their health and want a more thorough baseline than a standard physical provides.

Common areas we work in include low testosterone and low energy, perimenopause and menopause, sleep disorders and insomnia, weight management, stress and adrenal dysfunction, thyroid disorders, mold and environmental toxicity, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, and autoimmune disease. This is not an exhaustive list.

When a physician works within an insurance-based system, they are in some ways working for the insurance company. The standard of care, the approved tests, the allotted time per visit, these are determined by the insurer, not the physician. Most doctors doing that work are good doctors. But they are operating within a framework that was not designed around any individual patient's needs.

FFC is independent. Dr. Boesler answers to her patients, not to a claims department. There are no approved test lists, no time limits imposed from the outside, and no requirement to justify a clinical decision to a third party before acting on it. When she orders a test or recommends a protocol, it is because the patient in front of her needs it.

That independence also means knowing when conventional medicine is the right call. FFC is not an alternative to good medicine. It is what good medicine looks like when no one else is in the room.

Concierge practices sell access. For an annual membership fee on top of your existing insurance coverage, they offer a personal physician phone number, same-day appointments, and reduced patient volume. The care itself remains largely within the same insurance-guided framework as conventional medicine.

FFC is not a concierge practice. We do not charge a membership fee and we do not promise unlimited access. What we offer is focused, unhurried care. The kind that is difficult to deliver when availability is the product. The distinction matters because unlimited access to a physician who is still operating within the same system is a scheduling upgrade, not a clinical one.

FFC provides courtesy insurance claim submission for patients with Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Veterans insurance plans receiving services within the scope of insurance guidelines, specifically standard primary care and sleep medicine. Patients with private insurance are provided all necessary documentation including itemized receipts with CPT and ICD-10 codes to self-submit claims after payment for eligible services.

Restorative medicine services, including the Direct Health Program, Two-Step Assessment, Foundational Health Evaluation, Protocol I, and Protocol II, are not eligible for insurance submission and are offered on a self-pay basis. Laboratory costs associated with restorative programs are billed separately and may be partially covered by commercial insurance depending on the patient's plan and the specific tests ordered.

Of course! FFC does not require patients to leave their existing primary care provider. Many patients work with Dr. Boesler specifically because their current physician does not offer functional medicine services. FFC operates as a complementary layer of care, and Dr. Boesler coordinates with other treating physicians where clinically relevant.
