The Elemental Assessment Process
$845 with labs included
Step 1: 30-Minute Meet & Greet Visit:
This initial visit is a virtual Meet + Greet with Dr. Ashley Shrader, DNP, IFMCP, Founder of Rise Functional Medicine. In this session, we’ll explore your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals and begin identifying key areas that need deeper evaluation.
Step 2: Functional Lab Panel:
Includes advanced functional lab testing to uncover hormonal, metabolic, nutrient, and inflammatory imbalances (see list below) and guide your personalized optimization plan.
Step 3: 60-Minute Deep Dive Follow-Up:
Once your labs are in, you’ll meet with Ashley for a comprehensive follow-up. This step is all about uncovering the why behind your symptoms and creating a foundation for health optimization. You'll receive:
A clear explanation of your lab results
A personalized root-cause analysis
Insight into how your current physiology may be impacting performance, energy, hormones, digestion, and more
A strategic overview of your unique health profile to guide the next steps toward healing and optimization
We’ll recommend a structured program tailored to your needs - whether your focus is hormone balance, gut healing, and /or athletic performance.
