Our Treatment Process

At our practice, we believe in a structured yet flexible approach to uncover the root causes of your health challenges and create lasting, meaningful solutions. Here’s what your care process will look like:

Step 1: Comprehensive Intake Process

At BIMS, your health journey begins with a thorough consultation, not a rushed 15-minute appointment. Your first consultation with us will last about 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, we focus on truly understanding your complete health story. We carefully explore your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and overall health goals. Every detail you share helps us create a treatment strategy that is carefully tailored just for you.

Step 2: Advanced Laboratory Testing

Based on what we learn from your initial consultation, if necessary, we may recommend specific lab tests and/or functional lab tests to gain a clearer understanding of your body’s internal functions. Since all of our services are provided through telehealth, our expert doctor will provide you with complete guidance on where and how to get these lab tests done. These tests help us gather the essential information needed to create a targeted and effective treatment plan. Learn more about our functional lab tests.

Step 3: Personalized Treatment Plan

With your complete health history and lab results in hand, at this stage we will create a personalized functional treatment plan just for you. This plan may include nutritional guidance, carefully selected supplements, lifestyle modifications,, stress management strategies, and medications. Each recommendation is based on proven science, clinical experience, and tailored to meet your unique health needs.

Step 4: Ongoing Support & Care

Following your complete health history and lab results, a second consultation (follow-up) will be provided to deliver the treatment plan designed exclusively for you. Your second (follow-up) visit will last about 45 to 60 minutes (3-4 weeks after the first consultation). Once you receive your treatment plan, your care does not stop there. We are here to guide you at every step of the way. Our professionals will provide regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your plan whenever needed. You will also have direct access for any questions or concerns that may arise between appointments.

P.S. :If you’re a new patient of BIMS, after booking your appointment, please download the “New Patient Form” from our website’s contact section to provide information about your health and family history to us before your first consultation. Complete the form and submit it directly via the email provided on the website. This will help us gain a deeper understanding of your health.

To experience a new feeling, you must embrace a new way.

Patient Success Stories

"After years of being told my symptoms were 'just stress,' Dr. Born actually listened and ran tests that revealed underlying gut infections and nutrient deficiencies. Six months later, I have my energy back and finally feel like myself again."

T.B.

"Working with Dr. Todd changed everything about how I approach my health. Instead of just managing my autoimmune symptoms, he addressed the root causes. My inflammation markers have improved dramatically, and I've been able to reduce my medications significantly."

S.S.

"The personalized attention and comprehensive approach Dr. Born provides is unlike anything I experienced with conventional doctors. He takes time to explain everything and adjusts my treatment as my health improves. I finally feel heard and supported."

Frequently Asked Questions

No, we currently do not see patients directly at the clinic. Our services are completely telehealth. It is designed in such a way that distance is not a barrier to receiving good care. Patients can consult one of our top-rated doctors from anywhere, and find the root cause of their acute and chronic diseases and solve them.

We practice as a board-certified naturopathic doctor (ND), not a medical doctor (MD). Our approach focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of chronic and complex health conditions through personalized care. This is different from conventional medicine’s symptom-focused approach.

Yes, we can prescribe medications when they are appropriate and align with the patient’s care plan. However, our primary focus is on using natural therapies, targeted nutrition, and lifestyle changes to resolve underlying health issues, but will use medications as needed.

We are committed to transparent pricing. New patient appointments range in pricing (60-90 minutes), and follow-ups are typically 30-45 minutes. Please contact us directly or visit our Fees and Insurance page for specific pricing and to ensure the service fits your needs.

Currently, our practice does not accept insurance. At the end of your visit we will provide you with a superbill that can be used to file for reimbursement with your insurance company. Most insurance plans will cover a portion of the cost of your visit and apply it as an “out-of-network” provider. Labs and medications are typically covered by your insurance.

We utilize standard reference labs like Labcorp and Quest.  We also use many functional testing companies, including but not limited to Doctor’s Data, Genova Diagnostics, MyMycoLab, ZRT, All Access Labs, and Immunosciences.  Labcorp and Quest requisitions will be provided to you, along with instructions.  You go to these labs like you have before. Functional medicine test kits are sent to you from the company, they provide the instructions and you mail the kit back to them (prepaid by the company).  If these tests require bloodwork, you schedule a mobile phlebotomist to come to your home, draw the blood, process and mail the kits for you.

Absolutely. This service is designed for chronic and complex conditions that conventional medicine may not fully address. Through advanced testing, root-cause analysis, and a personalized care plan, many patients finally find answers and solutions after years of searching.

Every patient’s timeline is unique. Some may see improvements within weeks, while others with more complex conditions may require months of dedicated care. The goal is sustained, long-term health improvements through personalized, root-cause solutions.  Most patients see immediate improvements and as time progresses, complete or nearly complete resolution of their health concerns.

If you’re grappling with chronic or complex health conditions and want a personalized, root-cause-driven approach, naturopathic and functional medicine could be an excellent fit. Or maybe you’re a healthy individual, but want to optimize your health, naturopathic and functional medicines are a wonderful tool for improvement.  Book a consultation to discuss your specific needs and determine if this approach aligns with your health goals.
