Start with a conversation

What the call is

Fifteen to twenty minutes, by phone or video. No cost.

I'll want to know how long this has been going on, what it feels like and when it's worst, what's already been tested and what came back, what you've tried, and what you're taking.

Then I'll tell you one of three things.

• This is worth doingAnd here's what I'd expect to find.
• Something needs ruling out firstAnd I'll tell you exactly what to ask your own doctor or dentist to check before we go further. Sometimes that's the whole answer and you never need to come here.
• This isn't the right fitAnd here's what I'd do instead. That one happens, and I'd much rather say it on a call than after you've booked a flight.

Who you will be speaking to

I take these calls myself. Not a coordinator, not an intake team — the person who would be doing the workup.

That is partly practical: half of what makes the call useful is hearing your history from you rather than reading a summary of it. And partly because I turn people away on these calls, and that decision should not be delegated.

Two conversations, not one

• The clinical call — with meFifteen to twenty minutes. What you have been through, what has been ruled out, and whether I think coming here is worth your time. I turn people away on these calls, and that decision should not be delegated.
• The practical call — with my treatment coordinatorOnly if the first one goes somewhere. Exactly what is included at each stage, what the sequence looks like, fees, and payment options including financing through Proceed and Sunbit. She is genuinely better at this part than I am.

Both are free. Neither carries any obligation. And if you would rather know the numbers before anything else, say so on the form below and she will call you first.

Before the call

Nothing is required. But if you have them to hand, these make the conversation considerably more useful:

• A complete list of your medications and supplements, with roughly when you started each
• Any lab results from the past year or two — even ones you were told were normal. Especially those. The reference ranges used for reporting are wider than the thresholds that matter for these conditions, and results dismissed as normal are frequently where the answer is.
• Roughly when your symptoms began, and whether anything changed around that time — a new medication, dental work, an illness, a major life event

Run the medication check first → — it takes two minutes and gives us both a head start.

If you're traveling

Patients come from out of state. Some of them should. Some of them shouldn't.

The consultation covers whether that's the right decision before you commit to anything. If it is, we'll talk through the practical side — how many days, how much clinical time per day, and what to expect.

If this isn't the right time

Cost, travel, or timing may not work right now. That's a real constraint and it doesn't mean you're out of options.

The Relief Room is an online membership for people living with these conditions — the education, the protocols, and a community of people who understand it, without the travel.
