The Better You Base Camp Course is for anyone looking to improve their health whether you are just taking the first steps toward doing so or have tried in the past. Unlike other programs focused only on diet or exercise, this course covers all of the lifestyle factors involved in your health so you will certainly learn something new and how to apply the information to your life.

At Sound Lifestyle Medicine we focus on a whole food plant based diet, but what we also emphasize is meeting you where you are at in your health journey. We are not here to tell you a WFPB diet is the ONLY way to eat. It's about finding out what works for you and your goals.

We want to work with you to meet your goals. The lifestyle changes you want to make should make sense within the context of your life, including what you do for work, your family and support network, and your access to whole foods, among other elements. While Sound Lifestyle Medicine focuses on a whole food, plant-based diet, we understand that nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all prescription — and that you need to enjoy a diet to stick with it! We will work with you to create a healthy nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and satisfies your taste buds.

Sign up for the Informational Call and we will be happy to answer all your questions about what the Better You Program entails and how it can help you get on the path toward better health!

While both lifestyle medicine and functional medicine take a preventative, whole-person approach to health, functional medicine relies more heavily on the lab testing of various hormones and metabolites in the body. This generally isn’t necessary and can become quite expensive as the tests add up! Sound Lifestyle Medicine does have the ability to order labs, but they are not required. Establishing a baseline through robust lab testing is far more common in functional medicine, whereas lifestyle medicine works to optimize your six pillars of health without requiring extensive initial testing.

No blood work is required, but it is certainly ideal to have this information to make the most informed choices. We generally recommend having the following blood work completed within the past year: Lipid panel A1c Basic metabolic panel Complete blood count

While we can work with you without any of these, it is often helpful to have items such as a weight scale and blood pressure cuff. We do not promote nor recommend any specific apps, but we can work with you if you have any that you already enjoy.

Sound Lifestyle Medicine is a cash-pay service. We do not currently accept insurance. Patients are able to submit fees to their FSA or HSA accounts for possible reimbursement. However, it is possible, that your doctor will be able to provide a “Superbill” that you can submit to your private insurance company for partial reimbursement (degree of reimbursement is variable depending on the type of insurance, medical condition(s) treated, etc).

Yes, if you have signed up for the Better You Program, we will send a letter to your primary care physician or subspecialist to inform them we will be working together.
