FAQ
What exactly is Higher Level Health (& Life)?
Higher Level Health (& Life) is where science meets soul. This is a space to reclaim energy, balance hormones, heal your gut, learn from your emotions, and feel like yourself again—without getting lost in the noise.
We blend Functional Medicine labs with ancient wisdom including (but by no means limited to) Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga & yogic philosophy, energy medicine, mindset investigation, and explorations in emotional intelligence to bring your entire system into harmony—BODY, MIND, HEART & SOUL.
Who do you work with?
We help anyone. Full stop. Especially, women (but men, too, if you feel drawn to us) struggling with health issues that aren’t being address with success by other means. If you’re tired of of being tired (overweight, not sleeping, moody, bloated or in pain after you eat, having pms, pcos, infertility, etc, etc) we’d love to dive deep with you.
What if I don't have health issues but I just feel stuck in life?
Great question! Less-than-optimal health is so common these days, that we (society) often get stuck focusing on that one area of life. But we’re here to ignite you in every realm of your existence — BODY, MIND, HEART & SOUL! Join us and we’ll poke you, prod you, nudge you, and love you into living authentically and with purpose — your purpose!
What’s included in the Five to Thrive program?
Get the full details here.
In short, Five to Thrive is a 5-month transformational health journey that includes:
Functional lab testing
An in-depth, root-cause health evaluation using both TCM + FM surveys
Personalized nutrition plans, supplements, and herbal protocols
1:1 coaching
Support via group Q&As, email, and Voxer
It’s a full-body, full-life reset designed to bring you back to your whole self, your powerful, amazing self — your true self.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Start with a free consultation call. We’ll chat about where you are, where you want to be, and whether this path fits your goals, energy, and lifestyle. No pressure, just clarity.
Do you offer one-time sessions?
Yes. The deep transformation we’re known for happens in committed containers; not overnight. But we do have several options that are one-offs or can be done well at your own pace. Check our 1:1 sessions page for details.
Do you work with clients outside the US?
Yes! All coaching, consults, and programs are virtual. Whether you’re in LA or Lisbon, you can get full access to our information, education, coaching and support — with two caveats:
Our supplement vendors are mostly US based right now. But we’d be happy to review supplements that you source yourself in your own locale if you live outside our sourcing area.
If you live in NY, NJ, or RI, we cannot order lab testing for you. You’ll have to get labs through an in-state MD and bring the results to us for review. We can help you know how to get the labs we need from your MD.
Will I need to take a ton of supplements?
Not a ton—just what your body actually needs. We use functional labs to identify precise imbalances, and then craft supplement and herbal plans tailored to your unique body and goals. This is about targeted, strategic support—not overwhelm or up selling you to pad our own pockets. Whenever possible we use lifestyle changes primarily including how you eat, drink, move, think, etc…
Is this just about physical health, or do you cover mindset, emotion and more?
It’s definitely about the more; about all the things. Healing isn’t just about fixing your digestion or hormones (though yes, we do that). We also look at emotional patterns, energetic blocks, and inner voices that need love reckoning with. Your inner mean girl, your intuition, your joy, your spark? All part of the plan.
