Frequently Asked Questions 

Do you treat and/or diagnose any conditions?

No, we do not diagnose or treat any medical conditions. Our role is to help clients explore underlying imbalances that may be contributing to how they feel. Through functional lab interpretation, symptom tracking, lifestyle assessments, and targeted supplementation strategies, we support clients with personalized education and health coaching. This process is designed to empower the body’s own healing capacity and promote overall wellness.

Our services are not a substitute for medical care, and we always recommend that clients maintain a relationship with a licensed medical provider for diagnosis, treatment, or prescriptions.

Dr. Torrie Thompson, DC got her doctorate as a chiropractor from Life Chiropractic College West. After graduating, she received her AFMCP from the Institute of Functional Medicine.  

​​

I want to work with Dr. Torrie, but my appointment is with someone else. Will I be working with her in the future?

Even if your appointment is with another member of our team, you are still benefiting from Dr. Torrie’s guidance. All of our coaches are personally trained by Dr. Torrie and follow her protocols. You’ll also have opportunities to connect with her during our members-only Q&A calls held twice each month, where she provides education, answers questions, and offers additional support.

 

Can I skip the first visit and move directly into lab testing?

Yes, you can jump right in by ordering lab testing! 
 

What is the difference between your mini courses and your 12-month programs?

Our mini courses are designed as a starting point for your health optimization, offering focused content to help you address specific concerns.
 

In contrast, our 12-month programs are highly comprehensive. They include group calls, 1:1 coaching, lab testing, and in some cases, lab retests. These programs are structured to provide accountability and guide you through a complete detox of all the barriers to achieving optimal health.

​

What types of programs do you offer?

We offer structured, education-based programs designed to help you understand the root causes of your symptoms and support your body’s natural detoxification pathways. Our most popular offerings include our 12-Month Detox Program, Gut Reset Course, and Candida Freedom Mini Course. Each program includes lab interpretation, supplement guidance, and lifestyle strategies — all within a functional health coaching model.

​

Is lab testing mandatory?

Lab panels are fundamental to really understand what is going on within your body.  Labs give us the answers to create a custom protocol for you with precision.  We can track your progress and make necessary changes to your protocol throughout your journey. 

​

Can we use labs from another doctor?

Absolutely!  If your labs were performed within the last 12 months, you can upload your labs to your client file in Practice Better once you have scheduled your appointment.  

​

What is a virtual practice?

Experience the same care as in person, but from the comfort of your home through a zoom appointment.  We have chosen to be fully virtual to have the ability to work with patients around the world.    

​

I don't live in Texas, can I still work with you?

Absolutely! Our coaching and educational programs are fully virtual, and we work with clients all across the U.S. Functional labs and supplements can be shipped straight to your door, and all sessions are held online for your convenience. No matter where you live, you can access our support and resources from the comfort of your own home.​

​

Do you accept insurance?

No, insurance doesn't fit the holistic coaching model since we don't treat or diagnose any conditions.  Some HSA & FHA will reimburse for health coaching.​
