This is why our current mainstream healthcare system is falling short.\u00a0 In order to provide the personalized and holistic care offered at Wild Rice Wellness we have opted to not bill insurance to ensure that we can meet the needs and goals of our patients. The insurance model is good for \u201csick care\u201d but in order to deliver personalized, in-depth care focusing on health and wellness we feel that a cash-pay membership model gets the best results.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"clearfix title-holder\" style=\"\"><span class=\"accordion_mark left_mark\"><span class=\"accordion_mark_icon\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"tab-title\">Are you my Primary Care Provider (PCP)?<\/span><span class=\"accordion_mark right_mark\"><span class=\"accordion_mark_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"accordion_content no_icon\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion_content_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The simple answer is No. Even though I am trained as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aanp.org\/about\/all-about-nps\/whats-a-nurse-practitioner\">Family Nurse Practitioner<\/a> I am not your primary care provider.

Lifestyle recommendations will always be encouraged as our first line of treatment but medications may be used from time to time based on patient goals and preferences, taking into account symptom severity.

With functional medicine we ask <em>WHY<\/em> an illness or symptom is occurring and <em>HOW<\/em> can we restore optimal health and wellness - leaning heavy into lifestyle modalities to restore balance but may still prescribe medications when needed. In conventional medicine there is often a focus on a single symptom or system and oftentimes medications are used for each complaint because there isn\u2019t the time to get to the root cause. There is a time and place for conventional medicine as well as for prescription medications, and I want to work alongside your Primary Care Provider to bridge what is missing with lifestyle and functional medicine.

I utilize a platform called <a href=\"https:\/\/fullscript.com\/\">Fullscript<\/a> which is an online supplement dispensary that has medical grade, high-quality, third party tested supplements. For personal ethical reasons, I opt to not profit in any way from supplement sales which allows me to extend a significant discount to patients on supplements while we work together and beyond. I want patients to know that if I am recommending a supplement it is because I wholeheartedly believe it will help and not that I am profiting off of their purchase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32fad4b\" data-id=\"32fad4b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5145239 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5145239\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-650x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_blocks_image_size_square size-qi_blocks_image_size_square wp-image-871\" alt=\"a yoga mat with a pair of weights and a water bottle on a wooden floor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wildricewellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/shutterstock_568633627-1300x1300.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild Rice wellness &#8211; Functional medicine in Denver, co What is Functional and Integrative Medicine?
