Frequently Asked Questions 

Do you treat and/or diagnose any conditions?

No, we do not diagnose or treat any specific conditions.  We discover the root cause for why someone is having those symptoms.  From there, we can figure out how to best support the body to allow it to heal and achieve optimal health. My health coaching services are not meant to substitute or replace working with your medical doctor. 

​

What are Dr. Torrie Thompson's credentials?

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 team member, you are still working with Dr. Torrie’s approach. All of our coaches follow her protocols and receive her ongoing guidance. Plus, Dr. Torrie connects directly with clients during our members-only Q&A calls twice a month.
 

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.

​

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!  We are fully virtual and have clients all over the US and throughout the world.  Labs and supplements can be shipped directly to your home.    

​

Can you work with me if I live outside of the USA?

We have clients all over the world!  We can drop ship labs to most countries.  There is an additional charge for international shipping on the lab kits that ranges from $30-$100 depending on where you live.

​

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.
