Dr. Van sees new clients via personal referral only (he has never advertised) and has an array of tools to evaluate your unique biochemistry, physiology and nutritional needs. We do NOT use isolated, fractionated supplements (vitamins, minerals, fatty and amino acids) except to temporarily steer the biochemical boat in the right direction. After that, we prefer to use whole, organically grown, enzyme-rich foods and adaptogenic herbs - highly compressed & concentrated.
Individual Consultations conducted over the course of three or more appointments
First Consultation: $750 Duration: 2.5-3 hours This session includes a full personal history based on nutritional choices from conception, to birth, to the present. We are less impressed by the name of your disease or your condition (after all, to insurance companies, the name of the game is the name) but rather prefer to make ourselves acutely aware of your personal physiological and biochemical journey because, after all, the past influences create your present circumstances. Sophisticated, non-invasive and safe instrumentation, laboratory results and modern techniques will be used to further confirm our preliminary findings. This first office visit is confirmed upon receipt of a $350 non-refundable deposit.
Second Consultation: $595 Duration: 1.5-2:00 hours At this juncture we discuss your initial reactions to the program and lifestyle adjustments including a baseline review of the current scientific literature pertaining to your condition(s); we thoroughly examine results from your first consultation and devise a more detailed, representative course of action - which may include more non-invasive testing or use testing results from your primary physician.
Third and Subsequent Consultations: $450 Duration: 1.5 hours At this point we build upon and tweak previous nutritional recommendations, anticipating and meeting your evolving individual needs to prevent degeneration and chronic, systemic inflammation (smoldering), while maintaining optimal health and continued wellness. These visits are rescheduled every three months (or less, depending on individual need) with a minimum schedule of twice yearly.
