Want functional medicine expenses covered, but insurance won't cover it? Learn about this health insurance alternative - Knew Health!

--

Have you ever wanted to get functional medicine care, but cost kept you from being able to afford it?

Or - have you been paying for functional medicine out of pocket, and you wonder why you're paying for health insurance if it won't even cover what you need to heal?

If you are in either of these categories, then you don't want to miss today's episode!

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Danielle Drori about a new health insurance alternative - Knew Health.

Knew Health is a cost-sharing ,or health-sharing program, that enables their members to get coverage for medical expenses similar to how we experience coverage with health insurance, but it covers WAY more, for WAY less.

I found out about Knew Health in the last 2 years, and while I haven't been able to join yet, they are the top cost-sharing program I would recommend to anyone - and on today's episode, I'm going to show you WHY.

By the end of today's episode, you'll understand:

• How a cost sharing program works
• What type of things you can share it (it's a LOT!)
• What types of things can't be shared
• All the ways Knew Health is superior to other cost sharing programs
• How much a monthly membership costs
• Tips on how you can transition away from your current health insurance / cost sharing program to Knew Health

If you've ever wanted an alternative to health insurance but didn't know where to look - I hope today's episode excites you and gives you hope for a better relationship with your finances and health.

Have you ever wondered - what is the best food sensitivity test out there?

Or - why are there so many tests, and how can you tell which one of the best?

Back in 2021, I wrote my first podcast episode on food sensitivity tests, Episode 59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for You. At the time, I had NO exposure or knowledge about the food sensitivity test I'm going to be sharing with you today, so I didn't mention it at ALL.

But, if I were to re-do that episode, I would HANDS DOWN have highlighted the special and unique food sensitivity test we're going to talk about today - and I would have NEVER ordered another MRT test.

It is likely a food sensitivity test you've NEVER heard of (many of my clients have never heard of it before), but it is far superior to any other food sensitivity test I've come across before.

To help explain exactly how and why this test is so much better than Viome, MRT, TinyHealth, or any other food sensitivity test I've looked at, I'm having on Adair Anderson, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and representative of Vibrant Wellness. Adair holds a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, a master’s degree in clinical nutrition, and today, she is going to tell you all about my personal favorite food sensitivity test - the Food Zoomers.

Vibrant Wellness offers a myriad of lab tests, from Lyme testing to comprehensive gut health testing, but the lab I order the most from them is their food sensitivity test.

As you'll learn about on today's episode, the Food Zoomer tests your body for food sensitivities in a way that is completely different than almost every other lab out there.

Whether you're a food sensitivity test veteran with dozens under your belt (and an equal amount of confusion caused by them) or you haven't yet done your first test yet - this episode is guaranteed to enlighten you and give you insight into the capacities and limitations of food sensitivity tests, and explain why doing a Food Zoomer is likely your best bet to getting SUPER clear on what foods you should and shouldn't eat to heal your gut.

*Disclaimer: by having this episode out, I am NOT suggesting that you only need to eat the right food to heal. Food is, at most, only 20% of the equation to fully healing your gut. If you aren't familiar with the fact that food alone isn't enough to heal you (and what the rest of the 80% of the equation is), go to betterbellytherapies.com/training or click the link in the shownotes to get my free, full training.

Happy last Thursday in May!

As we round out the end of May, I (Allison) am finishing up the last week of my maternity leave! To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Melissa. She asked:

"My previous functional medicine provider put me on a supplement for my estrogen dominance about a year ago. Since then, I have been taking I-3-C Plus Dim and Calcium-D-Glucarate everyday. I feel that it has helped me so much with my PMDD symtoms as well as gallbladder symptoms and notice a difference when I miss doses.

Do I need to stop taking this for awhile when I do my DUTCH test? Would this skew the results? I can stop taking if needed but don't want to if I don't have to."

Melissa's question comes from a desire to not waste money on functional lab testing by getting results that aren't even relevant or trustworthy. Yet, she also doesn't want her symptoms to come BACK by going off a supplement she's found SUPER helpful.

What is Melissa to do?

If you've ever been in a similar bind of wanting to do a lab test but feeling nervous about going off supplements or medications - then this episode is for you!
